Boards Of Canada is an electronics duo, consisting of the Scots Michael Sandison and Marcus Eoin, that move in the no man's land between electro, trip hop and ambient. After releasing a number of EPs, the official debut Music Has The Right To Children was released in 1998. On this acclaimed piece of work, Boards Of Canada is audibly influenced by the early Aphex Twin and Autechre. The name Boards
