Claude says:Boards of Canada's second album arrived in 2002 with a deliberate turn toward the sinister — backmasking, numerology, Branch Davidian nods, and what Michael Sandison called a "trial-by-fire" narrative through claustrophobic darkness toward open air. A stray play or two in 2008 didn't stick, but it took hold for you in early 2009 and burned through by fall, drawn especially to "Ready Lets Go" and the twitchy paranoia of "Beware the Friendly Stranger."
