Geogaddi

Although initally receiving mixed reviews in its opening year, (critics were unimpressed by the lack of "development" since 1998's Music Has The Right To Children) Geogaddi has grown as a strong fan favorite due to the hidden depth of the record. As supported by the band, the theme of this album continues on from the innocent, child-like bliss of the debut into darker territory; concering itself with haunting references to horned gods ("You Could Feel The Sky") and cultism ("1969"). Although it retains the duo's trademark soundscapes and melodic vignettes, it can be unsettling and paranoid at times:

"Geogaddi is a record for some sort of trial-by-fire, a claustrophobic, twisting journey that takes you into some pretty dark experiences before you reach the open air again. It has a kind of narrative." - Mike Sandison (Article)
