Album Review
Although Boards of Canada's blueprint for electronic listening music — aching electro-synth with mid-tempo hip-hop beats and occasional light scratching — isn't quite a revolution in and of itself, Music Has the Right to Children is an amazing LP. Similar to the early work of Autechre and Aphex Twin, the duo is one of the few European artists who can match their American precursors with regard to a sense of spirit in otherwise electronic music. This is pure machine soul, reminiscent of some forgotten Japanese animation soundtrack or a rusting Commodore 64 just about to give up the ghost. Alternating broadly sketched works with minute-long vignettes (the latter of which comprise several of the best tracks on the album), Music Has the Right to Children is one of the best electronic releases of 1998.

Fantastic.
by From A Motel 6This is the best electronica/LoFi album I have yet to hear. You get lost in it. Roygbiv is amazing. The Color of the Fire and Aquarius bring me back to childhood.
Aquarius...
by Jaredius...this track is so hot to me it compelled me to check out everything Boards of Canada has.
My Friends Hate This Album
by syphon77My friends and family can't tolerate this album anymore because I listen to it so much. It's easily one of my top ten albums of all time. I just love their eerie sentimantality sound. I just can't listen to it in the dark :-D
