Couldn't have said it better myself. It is an intimate feeling, really hits you in a vulnerable spot. Boards does this well also like you said; this is part of the reason they are my favorite music group to ever exist. Over the Horizon Radar off Geogaddi (the mini-track right before Dawn Chorus) evokes a similar feeling for me; the tender melody reminds me of the times when I was little when I was the only child in the family, and it was just me and my mom, every day. Just the memories of my mom talking in her "baby voice" to me, playing games with her, in stark contrast to the struggles I had growing up; troubles with school, the law, drugs, etc. put a huge strain on our relationship. I think this kind of music just evokes very specific, indescribable human emotions, and the subject ties the emotions evoked to memories of the past. I think that is why some of these like minded artists are credited with having that strange sort of childhood nostalgia in their music. Pure, unadulterated art.

Boards can play the human nostalgia circuits like a fine-tuned piano. That luminous flash of memory breaking forth from the gray fog of the past... Just the right layer of fuzz... Some decades-old wear and tear, then the dust of being buried untouched for so many years... Then that shining bright, warm upwelling from the center, unexpected, impossible to hold or recapture, different every time... as these forgotten memories are replayed in a new context, held forth against a background of hard-earned maturity, patience, acceptance, cynicism... Plus that tiny hope, held hidden in a box, perhaps for another day. The nostalgia and the longing. Boards are masters of that.
