Kanye West - Late Registration.
Madonna - Confessions on a Dancefloor
M.I.A. - Arular.
Goldfrapp - Supernature.
Roisin Murphy - Ruby Blue.
The Arcade Fire - Funeral.
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois.
Kate Bush - Aerial.

True, but only one genre has been represented.

Yeah I know, I was hoping other people with different tastes would jump in.

Yes! I was thinking of that album when I saw the thread but I definitely wasn't expecting anyone else to mention it here Like most BoC fans, I know it's not quite as amazing as their first two albums, but it's still a supreme, thought-provoking work of magic.

Also, Madonna's Confessions... and Goldfrapp's Supernature

Girls Aloud - Chemistry

A pop masterpiece.

Another Boards of Canada fan - what an unexpected pleasure.

no u can post rock albums indie albums country albums it doesnt matter ur opinion mate

I was 12 at the time....criiiky!!!

Madonna - Confessions On A Dance Floor (my fave album of the decade!) Really was my personal first bought Madonna album....i remember winter in Woolworths when i saved up for it

gorillaz - Demon Days, Also i rememebr buying as was obsessed with them....still am really And after Confessions it was also my fave album of the decade (same year WOO!)

goldfrapp - Supernature! My first order from CD Wow! haha! still love it really was an album that got me into a lot of 70s New Wave styles...through this album i learnt a lot.

Kate Bush - Aerial....again like Madonna been a fan since i was a sperm....but was my first time i bought with saved pocket money too...immense.

MIA - Arular, from 2005 but got into MIA later on really with Paper Planes in 2008....but i love this debut album...so insane and vibrant world that is the MIA thaaang

and thats the ones that set a massive standard for me that year

Here are a few of mine:

Backstreet Boys - Never Gone
Mary J. Blige - The Breakthrough
Vivian Green - Vivian
Leela James - A Change Is Gonna Come
Jaguar Wright - Divorcing Neo 2 Marry Soul
Floetry - Flo'Ology (I was due to see them live, but they cancelled their entire UK tour and parted ways)
Tweet - It's Me Again
Keyshia Cole - The Way It Is
Syleena Johnson - Chapter 3: The Flesh

Me too, bloody love them!

I agree that The Campfire Headphase doesn't quite have the same vibe as their other two official album releases, and maybe feels a little bit stale in comparison, but is still an incredible thing nonetheless.

Fingers-crossed that 2012 will see the new album, at last!

If fans from other genres of music posted if would help. It's not the OP's fault that DS is ruled in majority by pop fans.

madonna - confessions on a dancefloor
idlewild - warnings/promises
Ryan adams & the cardinals - cold roses
hard fi - stars of cctv
coldplay - X&Y
feeder - pushing the senses
sheryl crow - wildflower
mary j blige - the breakthrough
foo fighters - in your honor
natalie imbruglia - counting down the days

Yeah I know what you mean, I wouldn't say it was their best but still well worth a listen.

Agree. I love Banana Skit, sheer genius!

Likewise I've only come across 1 or two other Boards of Canada fans on these forums. There are probably more, but BoC aren't the sort of act who get discussed often on forums such as this, so it's not easy to find out.


I do love The Campfire Headphase though, almost as much as I love Geogaddi personally (Music Has the Right to Children will always be my favourite). It's a different kind of experience - whereas the first two albums are like being taken on a mind-bending journey through a different world, TCH takes me out of that world and into a much more serene, peaceful and familiar place, if that makes sense.

It would be amazing to have a new album from them next year, but with the guys being so reclusive, it's impossible to tell Especially with it being so long since their last release, which was the Trans Canada Highway EP in 2006
