The Ten Must-Have Electronic Albums

• #10 Come To Daddy EP by Aphex Twin
• #9 In Sides by Boards of Canada

#8 Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada

If you really want to have your music take you away to a different dimension, then Boards of Canada is what you need. This album is just about as famous as you can get in the electronic/IDM world. Absolutely groundbreaking. There is no accident that “children” is in the title. It somehow creates the sound of childhood, if that can make any possible sense. Atmospheric undulations along with trippy beats. This is audio candy. Enjoy.
