Marcus Eoin and Michael Sandison specialise in what you might call “inexact science”. Operating since at least 1995 (in keeping with their aesthetic, the group are artfully vague about their early history) as Boards Of Canada, the Scottish band have challenged many of the traditional reference points of electronic music. Theirs aren’t albums that fetishise efficiency and technology, hedonism or travel, and they don’t seem to have much interest in emulating or soundtracking that electronica fallback position: the busy urban experience.
