Just getting into Boards of Canada, liking it a lot. Any similar stuff for someone new to electronic?

Plenty. Try Aphex Twin's I Care Because You Do... If you like that then try out some of his other stuff and Squarepusher.
If that isn't your thing and you want more relaxed, melodic stuff, try Plaid, Prefuse 73, Bibio, and Flying Lotus.

Machine Drum's early output is somewhat similar

Delve in the 'IDM' genre. Try Aphex Twin, Autechre, Flying Lotus. Most artists have a distinct vibe to them, so try to explore and find what suits your taste

Old deadmau5 albums like Get Scraped and Vexillology.
Joel is a big Boards of Canada fan and there's a track on Get Scraped called "Bored of Canada".

Not OP but any suggestions that are close to Autechre's Incunabula (besides aphex twin)?
Songs like Bike still have a strong melody, bass line etc. which I miss in some IDM stuff

Most of the best recs have already been made here. From Aphex Twin I'd suggest starting with Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - his other stuff is harsher and more ''I'DM' and resembles BoC less. Tycho is also a pretty good one - listen to Past Is Prologue. The Fall Into Time by OPN as well.

There are 3 unreleased tapes from BoC's very early work which has been leaked. Think they're all on Youtube, soif you've gone through BoC's released discography (Twoism - Tomorrow's Harvest) then listen to Random 35 Tracks Tape and A Few Old Tunes 1 & 2.

Check out this. Has more of a post-rock feel st points, others a more BoC sound. Also check out Disjecta - Pit. Great stuff.

You must now find every single release from the Aphex Twin and then accept him into your heart as your personal savior.
