Music Has The Right To Children (CD Format)
Originally released in 1998, Music Has The Right To Children is the landmark debut album from Scottish electronic duo Boards of Canada and one of the most influential electronic records of its era.
Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin created an instantly recognisable world from warm analogue synthesizers, dusty hip-hop rhythms, fragmented voices and melodies that feel both comforting and strangely unsettling. Its nostalgic textures evoke faded educational films, childhood memories and half-remembered television broadcasts, establishing the distinctive sound that would define Boards of Canada’s acclaimed catalogue.
Featuring enduring tracks including Roygbiv, Aquarius, Turquoise Hexagon Sun, Telephasic Workshop and An Eagle In Your Mind, the album moves seamlessly between atmospheric interludes and richly layered compositions. Its combination of ambient music, downtempo beats and experimental production helped reshape electronic music and continues to influence artists across IDM, hip-hop and alternative music.
This CD reissue includes the complete original album plus one bonus track, offering an essential edition of a modern electronic classic.
