Boards Of Canada ‎– Music Has The Right To Children

I got one used without cover, and if anyone knows where I could buy a cover for it or is for some reason willing to sell theirs, please let me know.

I purchased this at the (now defunct) Ozone Record store in Portland, OR, USA, on the strength of it being "Album of the Issue" in Jockey Slut magazine.
I was able to preview it on the in store decks and was instantly sold.
I would sell you my copy for top $, but every night I close the curtains, put it on and just make total love to myself.

This album is absolute perfection. Never has music been this beautiful, nor do I think it ever will again.

Best album ever made, that's all I have to say about that.

It'd be pretty easy to dismiss this album as relatively simple but that's really just on the surface. There's tiny details that reveal themselves after several plays that you could have sworn were not there before - that's just the nature of BoC's music.

This is also the most psychedelic album I know (in the purest sense of the word "psychedelic")

I can describe this outfit very simply. Minimal repetitive loops strung together by non-sensical interludes over trip-hop beats.

One of my top 20 albums, maybe even in my top 10 of all time ever. I would seriously consider spending a lot of cash on expensive audio gear so that I could hear the vinyl album.

This CD makes me want to create photographs that "sound" like the album.

You can't think of this so much as music as a journey, as a ticket to a trip. This is one of those albums you should not be casual about. This is a recording where you sit or lay down and just kind of let it enter your head. It is perfect listening for a lazy Sunday, as daylight is fading but the air is still warm. I think that is why I like this album so much. It completely transcends sound and takes you a place, mood and maybe even a time in your life.

It also would work as a make out album.

Absolute timeless masterpiece of the semi lo-fi, low key experimental electronic genre. It is too bad BOC never recorded anything as good but then, how could they have? It takes several listens to "get it" and it probably isn't for everyone but as far as I am concerned, BOC were able to sneak inside my mind, figure out all of my triggers and turn them into an album.

5 out of 5.

If anyone was wondering about the track "Roygbiv" and why it was named that, it is actually a common way to remember the order from top to bottom of the color spectrum (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green Blue, Indigo ,Violet).

A pretty important album for 90's electonic music. The retro theme here is very obvious. The artwork and overall sound of the album reflects that of being in the 1970's. I wasn't born until the 80's, so I can't say that I honestly get memories from listening to this, but I can certainly appreciate what Boards of Canada were trying to do. My personal favorite on here is track 14, Pete Standing Alone. You can feel the loneliness in this song. Also worth mentioning is the eerie The Color of The Fire, which has a small child's voice repeating "I love you". Sounds harmless enough, but it gives me goosebumps hearing it. All in all this album is a wonderful contribution to the electronica and IDM scene... This being the re-press version, the buyer gets a bonus track from BoC's Peel Session. What else could you ask for?

This album isn't for everyone. Despite the positive comments and opinions, I find this music very dull. The lack of anything remotely interesting makes it difficult for me to sit down and listen to. The sounds are there, floating around, with seemingly no purpose.
