*All of the percussion on "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" was created using cut up samples of [[Michael Sandison]]'s girlfriend's voice ([[Interviews#2002-07-01:_Remix|Remix Magazine, 2002]]).<br />
* A video (made for the [[WATMM video contest]]) was created for "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" by "[https://on-go.bandcamp.com/ Jesse Anderson]" using stock footage sampled from Tatsuo Sato's anime film "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385586/ Cat Soup]." This video also offers an interpretation of the vocal sample heard during the track.<br />
<br />
==Samples / Lyrics==<br />
<br />
* Between 1:53 and 2:50, a speech sample can be heard. It comes from the documentary "On the Tracks of the Wild Otter (1983)" <ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/2sndzz/sound_familiar/</ref><ref>http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/film/467/On+the+Tracks+of+the+Wild+Otter.html</ref>, narrated by Hugh Miles. The sample can be heard at around 26:40 <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVMh7r0LHW4&t=26m40s</ref>, and says :<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
the holts are nearly always close to the sea<br /><br />
in fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs<br /><br />
all at the top of a stack, like this<br /><br />
high above the sea<br /><br />
a safe place for cubs<br /><br />
I wait, tense<br /><br />
then disappointed<br /><br />
she leaves her spraint to notify others of her visit<br /><br />
the holts are evenly spaced<br /><br />
about 500 yards apart, [enough for the use of any otter who passes by?], with or without cubs<br /> </blockquote><br />
<br />
*Right after this sample, around 2:50, a different voice, saying "I love you", is heard.<br />
<br />
* [JimE] noticed something else:<br />
<blockquote><br />
"there's a background sound throughout the song which could be "sweat-sweat" (in the first part of the song), with "tension" coming in later. It's hard to recognise as speech, but it could well be; one of the interviews says that the "percussion" in the track was constructed using the voice of the girlfriend of one of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]." </blockquote><br />
<br />
* A voice that sounds like a black male singing "No" fades in at 4:35 and continues throughout the song. (Sounds like another 70s/80s disco/funk sample). At 5:27 A scratchy sample saying "Yeah" is played forward, then backward, then forward again, with some additional scrubbing in between. At 6:00, "Yeah" plays again, but only once.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*This track's title is referenced in "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" on ''[[Geogaddi]]''<br />

<br />
[[The Smallest Weird Number]] is track number 9 on the [[Geogaddi]] album. An excerpt of the track appears in the video portion of the [[Trans Canada Highway Microsite]].<br />
<br />
== Title ==<br />
In mathematics, the smallest [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird_number weird number] is 70. 70 is part of the name of the band's private label ([[music70]]); [[Sixtyten|sixtyten]] is another way of saying 70.<br />
<br />
== Samples/Lyrics ==<br />
*At 0:03, the ending of "When the Music Starts to Play" by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incredible_String_Band The Incredible String Band] is heard in reverse and at a lower speed. The sample seems to have been taken from an old phonograph record, as crackling is present. See [[The Smallest Weird Number#Videos|Videos]] and this [http://instagram.com/p/yFEgcOD8BH/ short clip] by [[wikipedia:Bibio|Bibio]].<br />
* From the beginning until around 0:24, the song samples birds singing in the documentary "On the Tracks of the Wild Otter (1983)" <ref>http://twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=244015#p244015</ref> <ref>http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/film/467/On+the+Tracks+of+the+Wild+Otter.html</ref>. The sample can be heard at around 53:47 <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVMh7r0LHW4&t=53m47s</ref>.<br />
*Track 10 from side B of [[Random 35 Tracks Tape]] appears in reverse at 0:11. Reverb has been applied to the last chord heard in the present track.<br />
<br />
== Comments ==<br />
* [[The Smallest Weird Number]] is 70. As in Music70, [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]'s own label. A "weird number" is a number that is "abundant" but not "semi-perfect". Meaning? Take all the "proper divisors" of 70 (i.e. all the divisors of 70 except for 70 itself). They are 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35. When the proper divisors add up to more than the original number, the original number is said to be abundant. For 70: 1+2+5+7+10+14+35 = 74 > 70, so 70 is "abundant". Now, if there was some SUBSET of these numbers 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, 14, 35 which added up to 70, then 70 would be said to be "semi-perfect" (or "pseudoperfect") But there isn't. Try it. You can make 71 by missing out the 1 and the 2, or you can make 69 by missing out the 5, but you can't make 70. I hope that explanation is clear. The first few weird numbers are: 70, 836, 4030, 5830, 7192, 7912, 9272, 10430, 10570, 10792. You can find a longer list of weird numbers in the "online encyclopedia of integer sequences", from which my shorter listing was taken. This explanation of weird numbers by [DC].<br />
* Even though the track runs for 1:17 minutes, the melody cuts out at exactly 1:10 (70 seconds).<br />

*All of the percussion on "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" was created using cut up samples of [[Michael Sandison]]'s girlfriend's voice ([[Interviews#2002-07-01:_Remix|Remix Magazine, 2002]]).<br />
* A video (made for the [[WATMM video contest]]) was created for "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" by "[https://on-go.bandcamp.com/ Jesse Anderson]" using stock footage sampled from Tatsuo Sato's anime film "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385586/ Cat Soup]." This video also offers an interpretation of the vocal sample heard during the track.<br />

==Samples / Lyrics==<br />
<br />
* Between 1:53 and 2:50, a speech sample can be heard. It comes from the documentary "On the Tracks of the Wild Otter (1983)" <ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/2sndzz/sound_familiar/</ref><ref>http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/film/467/On+the+Tracks+of+the+Wild+Otter.html</ref>, narrated by Hugh Miles. The sample can be heard at around 26:40 <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVMh7r0LHW4&t=26m40s</ref>, and says <br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
the holts are nearly always close to sea<br /><br />
in fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs<br /><br />
all at the top of a stack, like this<br /><br />
high above the sea<br /><br />
a safe place for cubs<br /><br />
I wait, tense<br /><br />
then disappointed<br /><br />
she leaves her spraint to notify others of her visit<br /><br />
the holts are evenly spaced<br /><br />
about 500 yards apart, [enough for the use of any otter who passes by?], with or without cubs<br /> </blockquote><br />
<br />
* Thanks again to [JimE] for noticing something else:<br />
<blockquote><br />
"there's a background sound throughout the song which could be "sweat-sweat" (in the first part of the song), with "tension" coming in later. It's hard to recognise as speech, but it could well be; one of the interviews says that the "percussion" in the track was constructed using the voice of the girlfriend of one of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]." </blockquote><br />
<br />
* A voice that sounds like a black male singing "No" fades in at 4:35 and continues throughout the song. (Sounds like another 70s/80s disco/funk sample). At 5:27 A scratchy sample saying "Yeah" is played forward, then backward, then forward again, with some additional scrubbing in between. At 6:00, "Yeah" plays again, but only once.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*This track's title is referenced in "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" on ''[[Geogaddi]]''<br />
