Music Has the Right to Children is the debut studio album by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was originally released on 20 April 1998 in the United Kingdom by Warp and Skam Records and in the United States by Matador Records. The album was produced at Hexagon Sun, the duo's personal recording studio in Pentland Hills and continued their distinctive style of electronic,, featuring vintage synthesizers, degraded analogue production, samples, field recordings, and hip-hop-inspired rhythms that had been featured on their first two EPs Twoism (1995) and Hi Scores (1996). The album received critical acclaim upon its release, and has since been acknowledged as a landmark work in electronic music, going on to inspire a variety of subsequent artists. Reissued 10/22/2013 on double LP by Warp Records.
