Boards of Canada’s 1998 album is a beat-music touchstone, a record that took the previous decade of home-listening electronic music and essentially perfected it. This reissue offers a chance for a fresh look.
Sometimes an album is so good and makes its case so flawlessly that it spawns a mini-genre of its own and becomes shorthand for a prescribed set of values. The Velvet Underground’s third and Miles Davis’ Bitches Brew are two older records that spring to mind, and I’d toss in Spiderland as well. It’s not a long list, but somewhere on it belongs Boards of Canada’s Music Has the Right to Children.
Earlier this month, Warp Records reissued Music Has the Right to Children worldwide, adding the bonus track “Happy Cycling” (which we Americans with our Matador-licensed copies have always known as the album closer) and redesigning the cover art as a foldout digipak. It’s always a bit strange when an album is reissued when it has not, in any sense, ever gone away. How could we possibly have forgotten about Music Has the Right to Children when the sound Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin created here is still the predominant inspiration in IDM? And yet, here we are, new package and new marketing push. Even so, six years after its original release is as good as any time to look into why Music Has the Right to Children has resonated so strongly.
