I dont think there has been a thread about them..?

possibly the greatest IDM duo ever?

geogaddi is a masterpiece

indeed. it's been my sleep album of choice for a few weeks now. 'geogaddi' put me to sleep for most of 2008 hehe.

don't overlook their eps, particularly 'twoism' and 'a beautiful place out in the country'.

their latest stuff is almost moving in an 'air' direction with the incorporation of real guitars into some tracks, it still definitely sounds BoC though.

geogaddi and twoism are sick

Music Has the Right To Children is way too long to be a masterpiece IMO. I mean, there are fantastic songs on it namely Eagle In Your Mind and Roygbiv, but its over an hour long and varies very little.

It's a great sleep album, I guess, but active listening takes incredible effort.

music has the right... is also a great work album, depending on the kind of job you have obviously. it was great when i was doing brainless office work a few years ago. do a little work, space out on some tunes, a little more work, a few more tunes, then... BAM! halfway to next break hehe
