CD ReviewsOriginal Giuseppe A. Paleologo | Riverdale, NY United States | 11/29/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "The first full-length album of BoC is a masterpiece of sorts. The material is accurately chosen and sorted in a way to resemble a "mini suite". The music shows influences from various musicians, but always manages to be original. "Telephasic Workshps" is a bit of "My life in the bust of ghosts" (especially "Mea Culpa"); "Turquoise Exagon Sun" has trip-hop overtones (of the Portishead variety). Electric piano and Moog (with additional sound treatment) are ubiquitous, providing a pleasant progressive (say, Tangerine Dream) and/or electric jazz touch to the songs. And are the numbers in "Aquarius" a little quotation from "Einstein on the Beach" by Glass? Overall, I would play the influence of Autechre (and AFX) down: it is present in the rythm programming, but not overwhelming. BOC is not rythm-driven as Autechre or AFX, but rather melody-driven. In fact, what I most liked in this CD is the beauty of the progression of the chords. The melodies are original and never trivial. Sandison and Eoin seem musicians-turned-musicians and not DJs-turned-musicians. This is what makes a BOC piece so easy to recognize and fresh. A recommended CD for any fan of high-quality electronica who wants to listen to something different than the usual suspects." A NOSTALGIC MASTERPIECE Krikey | 11/17/1999 (5 out of 5 stars) "Were you a kid in the late 70's and early 80's? Remember Narnia and Atari 2600 and the theme to St. Elsewhere? If so, Music Has The Right To Children will feel nostalgic. I got immersed in this album at the same time I happened to be reading Into The Wild. They went beautifully together. (no, that's not a plug for Amazon.com). Both transported me back in time, high into the mountains, and to vast contemplative spaces.If you're a fan of Aphex Twin or Brian Eno's early ambient work, acquire this cd; one track sounds suspiciously like a song from Brian Eno/ David Byrne's My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts.Start to finish, this album is truly artistic while unpretentious, which I can't say the same for much of Aphex Twin's work. And no matter how many times you listen, Music Has The Right To Children holds a mystique. Thus is Boards Of Canada" Yes JR... Krikey | 07/28/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "... and writing a great novel is easy, you only need a pen and paper and you just have to put one word after another."
