Boards of Canada / Gescom / Jega

The Profile

A combined page for Scottish duo Boards of Canada, UK collective Gescom, and English producer Jega—key figures in 1990s–present IDM and ambient electronic music.

Boards of Canada are a Scottish electronic duo of brothers Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin. Gescom is a UK electronic collective associated with Autechre and Skam Records. Jega is the recording name of English producer Dylan Nathan.

A single, highly positive review frames Inferno as a meditation on ‘past futures,’ capitalist realism, and pattern-seeking. It highlights the Sandison brothers’ melodies as necessary and unsettling, aligning the music with hauntological ideas. Themes include magical fixation, statistical correlation, and sound as labyrinthine mapping. Overall tone: dense, reflective, and admiring.
