Boards of Canada/Tear Jerker

This electronic music duo from Scotland manage to make highly emotional, moving music without even using any lyrics at all. A lot of it leaves the impression of a faint memory one can't quite get a hold of, making it very melancholic.


 * Some people can get lumps in their throats upon he hearing "Amo Bishop Roden", for one.
 * There is also "Dayvan Cowboy."
 * They focus on different aspects of this with each album
 * Music Has the Right to Children is based on nostalgia for childhood.
 * The Campfire Headphase leans more toward Tears of Joy.
 * And Geogaddi as a whole accomplishes the impressive feat of being both longingly, heartrendingly nostalgic and fucking terrifying, especially "1969."
