My Journey Through Electronic Music: Why Boards of Canada Isn't My Top Pick

Despite a personality-defining affinity for esoteric electronics, I am not a Boards Of Canada diehard. When I want IDM, I usually reach for Aphex Twin or Squarepusher. In the scope of 1990s Warp Records, I am partial to Seefeel, Two Lone Swordsmen, and Plaid. Even the way I discovered the Scottish project in high school left me cold: A chatty classmate told me about Music Has The Right To Children during a Spanish lecture, causing the teacher to call my parents and scold my lack of focus.
