| + | 4. Referenced in the song 'Sunshine Recorder' off the 'Geogaddi' album. |

− | * 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 26:31 <ref>{{#ev:youtube|NvIneE_fcHM|480||||start=0|false}}</ref>, and says :
| |
− | | |
− | <blockquote>
| |
− | The holts are nearly always close to the sea<br />
| |
− | in fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs<br />
| |
− | all at the top of a stack, like this<br />
| |
− | High above the sea<br />
| |
− | A safe place for cubs<br />
| |
− | I wait, tense<br />
| |
− | then disappointed<br />
| |
− | She leaves her spraint to notify others of her visit<br />
| |
− | The holts are evenly spaced<br />
| |
− | about 500 yards apart, [enough for the use of any otter who passes by?], with or without cubs<br /> </blockquote>
| |
− | | |
− | *Right after this sample, around 2:50, a different voice, saying "I love you", is heard. It cames from the same source as the vocal sample of "[[The Color of the Fire]]"<ref>{{#ev:youtube|pfTks0bgEO4|480||||start=120|false}}</ref>.
| |
− | | |
− | * [JimE] noticed something else:
| |
− | <blockquote>
| |
− | "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>
| |
− | | |
− | * 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.

− | ==Trivia==
| |
− | | |
− | *This track's title is referenced in "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" on ''[[Geogaddi]]''.
