* [http://thequietus.com/users/10546 Joe Clay]: "An instant classic and the most playful track on the album, featuring a juddering slo-mo beat, a bouncy, pinging bass line and warm chords with the occasional flourish of classical strings. It sounds a bit like [[wikipedia:Aphex Twin|Aphex Twin]]'s 'Cow Cud Is A Twin' or something else from the album, I Care Because You Do. It almost has a standard vocal, albeit one generated by a radio tuned into a station playing the chorus of a totally different song." <ref>http://thequietus.com/articles/12364-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest-review</ref>

* Under the influence of so many apocalyptic cinema comments, the first few times I heard this track I imagined some kind of populist Matrix Reloaded Zion-esque rave. But repeated plays lent a more martial & baroque vibe than that, and now every time Palace Posy comes on I imagine the dance of death from Bergman's Seventh Seal: http://www.google.com/search?q=seventh+seal&client=safari&rls=en&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=KdnEUcqFMcasigKEsIHIBw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1026&bih=611#client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=seventh+seal+dance+of+death&oq=seventh+seal+dance+of+death&gs_l=img.3...1895650.1900558.0.1900742.15.15.0.0.0.0.1124.1837.10j1j7-1.12.0...0.0...1c.1.17.img.Z1ZTgxLinj4&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=bv.48293060,d.cGE&fp=c2d7593cc136b61e&biw=1026&bih=589
