Boards of Canada’s 1998 album is a beat-music touchstone, a record that took the previous decade of home-listening electronic music and essentially perfected it.

Ran across this album at random. I didn’t even know who these guys were. Funny to see how everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
One of the many reasons I do artist binges is to look forward to listening to their "magnum opuses".
