Boards Of Canada: Music Has The Right To Children (Vinyl 2xLP)

This is pure machine soul, reminiscent of some forgotten Japanese animation soundtrack or a rusting Commodore 64 just about to give up the ghost. Alternating broadly sketched works with minute-long vignettes (the latter of which comprise several of the best tracks on the album), Music Has The Right To Children was easily the best electronic release of 1998.
