Yep. That smacks of someone categorising BoC by how elitist or difficult their music is, rather than by quality. BoC's great talent is in making something unique and subtly complex that is still profoundly tuneful and listenable. It's a potent combination and why we're all still so fascinated by them.
Amen to that

Let me help you there. It's a bit of a bundle:

1. Is calling boc 'entry-level' and 'conventional' pretentious?

In other words, do you own the touch-catalogue and frequent the-milkfactory.co.uk

2. What does 'Hipster' mean

check wikipedia

3. Is the avatar of GrangalarJr either terrance or Philip

Non of the above

But it all started in 2004 with the question:
4. Are boc fans pretentious geeks

Yes we are allthough that ought to be relative. However Geek [keek] pronounced backwards is [keek] so there's really no doubt about it!

I first heard Boards Of Canada through weebl and bob. They've got 1969 in one of their cartoons. I think it's called "cows."
