Boards Of Canada - Music Has The Right To Children CD


Our Price: $14.09 For Sale Usually ships in 1-2 days

The first American release by this Scottish duo has drawn rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic. The music ranges from goofball, Perry-Kingsley style retro-techno to ambient (in fact, sometimes eerily reminiscent of Eno's "Ambient Music I") to just about anything else you can dream up for a couple of synthesizers and a drum machine. Boards Of Canada's music has drawn frequent comparisons to wildlife documentaries from the '70s, but you've got to wonder what kind of nature documentary would have distorted drum machines and weird voices darting in and out of the mix. Weird? How about downright goofy? Like the nitrous-oxide flashback of "The Color Of Fire" where a distorted girl's voice keeps repeating "I...love...you" through the dizzy haze. Much of the disc has delightful vignettes interspersed between the longer tracks, and the longer tracks will reveal something different with each listen. Unabashedly lo-fi, this is the soundtrack to a drug experience for which no drug exists.

Q (Magazine) (p.124) - "[A] thing of wonder....The aural equivalent of old Super 8 movies..."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.54) - Ranked #91 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[T]hey took electronica into space. Cleverly referencing the esoteric side of '70s Test Card music in all its trippy glory."

5 stars I love you
Will having you saying I love you. Reminiscent of old documentaries on mountains, bears, or even world war II. THis is not music, as one reviewer said, better described as "experiments". These tracks take you to another world, honestly, some tracks, like Telephasic Workshop, can be intense and unnerving. Very melancholic, autistic sounds. Emphasis on autistic and it social connotations.

5 stars hypnotic
I really don't know how to describe their sound. Not that I have to thanks to the miracle of track samples. What I can tell you is that I've never encountered a single electronic composition that is so masterfully constructed, so lovingly put-together. It's one of the rare albums that can be listened through as a whole "work" just as easily as it is to pick out your favorite song. There's something frighteningly complex within their sound...the feeling of being somewhere familiar, like the songs are triggering subconscious memories. (This is btw coming from a person who believes 99% of musical-analysis is pretentious BS). The word 'genius' gets thrown around a bit to much for to carry the weight it used to but it's applicable here. You need this album.

5 stars . . . this is ambient beat bass. . .
the review that describes this masterpeice as goofy is a bit off. this is the new "given." the most intense, creepy and beautiful awe-inspiring beat bass record i've ever heard. a moody and mysterios collage of every vibration in the rainbow.
the album that will define future genius. if any bone in your body has the slightest affinity for a universal rythym you will make this your new credo in life, trust me.
