[edit] Quotes and quotes and quotes...

This is supposed to be an article, not a repository of quotes. Someone needs to rewrite the quotes into actual eneyclopedic content and then simply reference the content to the off-site quotes. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 17:00, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. *Is lazy* - Nö†$®åM 00:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Time to start a Wikiquote entry. -- Shoejar^talk/edits

Done. -- Shoejar^talk/edits

[edit] Old Tunes

Okay, I've created seperate album-style articles for all the Old Tunes cassettes, however, I am unsure as to whether or not I should add them to the discography, and if so, where? Thanks. - Nö†$®åM 00:36, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Genre

I think that their psychadelia should be adressed 69.234.145.16 06:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Addressed in what way? - Nö†$®åM 22:59, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

it should be adressed in genres...most of their music is heavily influenced by pychedelic music 69.234.145.16 05:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Subliminal Messages

"Some critics refuse to listen to their music on account that they are positive the band is trying to brainwash their listeners for unknown motivations, citing references to David Koresh and occult symbols as proof."

Can anyone provide eveidence for this claim? The link referred to doesn't say that the author refuses to listen to BoC, and anyway, one person hardly makes it worth a mention. I think the comment should be deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.249.35 (talk) 19:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

Searching Google for "boards of canada" + "subliminal messages" returns quite a few results which refer to critics/critics themselves claming that they won't listen to Boards of Canada due to subliminal messages contained on a few albums (namely Geogaddi). Personally, I think the comment should be kept. - Nö†$®åM 22:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
