first things first, and since this is about the music and not about personal
choices, i thought i'd give my opinion on the album. it doesn't suck.
however, the ambient does remain from previous albums, which makes it sort
of boring for people who don't listen to boards of canada like they should
(and if you do, you know what i mean -- no, this doesn't involve
"substances"). anyway, its a pretty good album (high times at 1969 and "the
beach at redpoint"), though i don't understand the need for the filler
tracks all the time.
the being-gay-thing is one of the issues that i really don't get. being
straight, i've always lacked the understanding needed to cope with gay
relationships, however, i totally disagree when the "gayness" is said to be
a bad thing for the kind of music we're talking about here. if they truly
are gay, f*ck that, i like their music, thats it. and blaming them for being
gay, when we're talking about music, is going totally out of scope.
fred.
