what would be a good suggestion for a starting place?
i would recommend music has the right to children but you need to kind of be a pothead to really "get it" i think.
or at least have tripped or smoked enough in the past to have permanently damaged your brain enough for the seepage

My personal favourite is Geogaddi. But I think, but it has more to do with the fact that the first time I listened to it was on a bus ride from Toronto to Sudbury. It was an overnight bus that left Toronto just after midnight and and got to Sudbury around 6am. I was living up there for the summer with my Dad, and had travelled back down to Toronto to visit a girl I was madly in love with, but too scared to tell. So that ride back to Sudbury, half drifting in and out of sleep, listening to Geogaddi, thinking about that girl - all added up to a deep emotional attachment to the album.
MHTRTC and Twoism are close though.
I enjoy pretty much everything I've heard from them. It just has an organic, nostalgic feel that is very powerful and evocative, but also comforting and familiar.
EDIT
Also... I think I like this album hype campaign better than Daft Punk's!

I remember when Campfire Headphase came out, it was a time when I was getting most of my music from torrents or Soulseek or something, and there was talk that there was a bootleg and then the real deal. For whatever reason, I never tried to find out if I had the real thing or the 'leg, so I just didn't listen to it.
But the first two albums - def a fan. This one short little tune on Geogoddi, "Driving Station," I put in this weird trifecta with the album cover of Donald Byrd's Places and Spaces and Miyazaki's Porco Rosso of these things that give me images of person air travel in the most romantic way possible, if that makes any sense. Basically: What kala said.
Also, strictly from an ad perspective, this and the new Daft Punk taking back some of the mystery of the album release. I dig it.

yeah, 'Music has The Right To Children' is the album of theirs I always return to.

Indeed:
(I was going to post an eBay link, but the Strut won't let me saying it's 'blacklisted'?)
Search eBay for "Boards Of Canada RSD Promo" to see an $1800 BOC 12"
