#2051 Pantha Du Prince - Black Noise

Is there any more important album title in the history of electronic music than Music Has the Right to Children? It's 1998, electronic music is just cresting, and BoC comes right back over the top of those who would call it cold, distant, mechanical.

This is Pantha Du Prince right in the thick of that search for the ghost in the machine, finding a root to the truth of life, the universe, letting field recordings that are naught-but-real in on the manufactured clips and blips and letting god sort em out. It's unknowable, slithery, fascinating, all with pulse and groove, asserting its rights with rough edges and fizzled textures every time you get complacent about your superiority 3.5/5
