My review of this album almost mirrors theirs - the music is pleasent, well produced, but unashamedly influenced (almost to the point of plagerism) by Boards of Canada. From the soft melodies, the lo-fi approach to sound design, the sweeping analogue synths, and the childlike vocals, Tycho has done an admirable job of mimicking our favourite Scots. Now I have heard a lot of bad BOC clones over the years (and plenty of fake MP3s tagged as the duo), but at least Tycho had the sense to take the positive aspects of BOC's production, and create an album that is easy on the ears from start to finish.
　　But as you have probably gathered, it is incredibly difficult to get past the influence and listen to the album as an original concept. If BOC didn't exist, this album would be a revelation - as it stands, it is a mere reflection of an already well-established sound.
　　On a more positive note, I haven't heard any of his other material, and the guy is clearly a solid producer, so if he was take his skills and apply them in a way which reflects his true self and not his attempts to imitate his inspirations, then i'm sure he will succeed. And if you go to his website, you'll also find his design portfolio which is much more interesting and unique.
