Oh, I agree. Boards of Canada are unabashedly simple, in an interesting
and, dare I say, intelligent way. Almost all children grow up hearing
pretty simple music, with some basic melody, although it's usually much
"happier" than, say, Boards of Canada.
Of course, that might also mean that kids growing up today will think
Kid606 is nostalgic :D
