Oct 16, 2015This short EP is definitely one of those unknown pieces of music that's so beautiful it may actually make you feel like your in 'A beautiful Place Out In The Country". There is nothing to really say about this album except that its nothing short of original and superb.
10/10 Masterpiece -
DanielMOct 24, 2005iTunes keeps track of how many times you play a song. Right now, the title track is my most played. By a huge margin. The rest of the EP is superb. A good starting point for anyone who's interested in this band.

The WireThe comforting familiarity of the Boards' muted beats, synth washes and glowing keyboards is just as potent and valium soaked as it was on their brilliant 1998 debut. [1/2001, p.71]

Here there's a slightly warmer feeling. More central, tweaked vocals add a new dimension to the "hard beats + bittersweet melodies" pattern of the past; songs like the gorgeous, ice-melting "Zoetrope" glide along on simple celestial glimmers without a single bass-line in sight.

In some ways, the 4 song EP is actually some of the most stripped-down work by the group, but it's also quite essential.
