Pretenders to what? The certainty in this comment confuses me, since my perception of Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin seeems to be the opposite of yours :)
- IndySun 5y agoPretenders as in I see them (BOC) as exploiting a genre rather than being anything approaching a band, in the broader sense - not to totally disparage that angle. Yes, I'm rather surprised people see a simpatico here. For example, the BOC's copious use of real and pseudo old sounding recordings and sounds is, I think, never appeared in an Aphex track.
