I was doing the usual research when I came across this interesting post...I think it's kind of nice actually. I love the complexity of Boards of Canada and how much goes into all the details, but I also think "The Wizard" by Uriah Heep is a freaking amazing song and while it is not equal in my affection for BoC, it's close...Maybe some of you will be able to relate or at least get a laugh out of the comparison. (The post is a topic which uses BoC and its listeners as a point of reference.) The message is clear, music is music as long as there is something real behind it.

Wed, June 13, 2007 - 6:14 PMYea, I thought the same thing. Not really sure what he was going for, but it was definitely entertaining to hear him use BoC to make it acceptable for him to like a Disco diva. Yea, unless I missed something, I don't think the lyrics she sings and the samples they use really have that much in common.....
