Grapthar's Daily Hive Music Feature: Boards of Canada - 'Telephasic Workshop'

one of the most influential electronic groups of the last few decades, with a sound that inspired artists across really all genres, from groups like Radiohead to metal bands. The group got together in 1986, initially as a sort of collective of friends writing together (called the Hexagon Sun), with the duo of brothers Mike Sandison and Marcus Eoin becoming the actual Boards of Canada project in the '90s. They created a sound that incorporated a lot of vintage synths, samples and hip hop beats that became their signature, widely imitated by many others though never as well as the duo did it. There is something about their sound that immediately invokes nostalgia, a sort of dreamy sort quality that I find is always appealing, and in my list of great 'driving around' music. Today's song is from their 1998 classic Music Has the Right to Children, which is filled with amazing tunes from start to finish. You can't really go wrong with this album, it somehow manages to fit many different moods and is a great listen anytime.
