[quote author=“simonh”]Im shocked that there’s no Boards Of Canada in anyone elses top ten.. is it just me that likes them ?
I actually gave them couple of tries, but these never grew on me like other electronic acts on the scene. Sounds too monotonous (as was already mentioned) to me. I liked more experimental electronics from the same label (matador, i guess), like Matmos.

Music Has The Right to Children is a nice album, and I was always a fan of the off-kilter melodies of The Campfire Headphase, but I’m not sure either would qualify as a top 10 album for me. Definitely good music though.
