The thing is, these 'most anticipated albums' somehow never live up to expectations. Even if you willingly try to keep your hopes to an appropriate level, they initially end up as a disappointment. In this class, there are of course albums that eventually become classics once the game of hype dies down. 'Geogaddi' the much-anticipated follow-up to 'Music Has A Right To Children' probably will grow out of the shadow of its towering predecessor, but at the moment it feels both predictable and unfocussed. The issue of predictability is the curse coming back to haunt innovators, 'Geogaddi' uses the same template as the debut, a collection of long rhythmic tracks in combination with sublime miniatures. This is now officially the way Boards of Canada present their music, it's a good way and why change a winning formula? Again expectations: the misguided idea that the second album could replicate the exciting feeling of discovery of 'Music Has A Right To Children'. There's no way around it , 'Geogaddi' is a consolidation not a leap forward. Which at least narrows the focus when discussing the album and hopefully rids the music of superfluous meanings of progression, revolution and radicalism. Boards of Canada have fought that battle and now opt for tweaking their successful model.
