Boards of Canada - Music Has the Right to Children

Unique, abstract, innovative, trippy, entertaining IDM. Unlike anything you've ever listened to. The Sandison bros. use a variety of weird sounds to craft their atmospheres and beats. This album is arranged in an interesting way; beat-oriented IDM tracks with ambient interlude tracks in between.
The beat-oriented songs are really fucking cool. As mentioned, they are complex beats constructed with tons of weird noises and sounds. They also have a hip-hop edge to them (see: "Roygbiv"), just the way I like my IDM. The ambient songs are nice breaks in between the intense beat tracks. Yes, I like to think of them as breaks but they are definitely not filler tracks since Boards of Canada is able to keep them interesting. Take "Olson" for example -- it's short, simple, sweet, and has a beautiful melody.

One of my all-time favourite albums. Check this one out if you're feeling adventurous.
