White Cyclosa
Running time	3:13
Appears on	Tomorrow's Harvest

Joe Clay: "Another beatless drone-piece, with arpeggiated synths and a subtle melody. It sounds retro-futurist as only BOC can – the perfect marriage between the warmth of analogue and the stark clarity of digital; a theme that is repeated throughout the album. As it evolves it gets darker, reminiscent of John Carpenter. It's pretty spooky." ^[1]
"White Cyclosa" is highly reminiscent of, and maybe a homage to, music from the film Day of the Dead (1985). Suggested comparison - the opening sequence of "The Dead Suite" on the soundtrack album, credited to John Harrison.

The persistent drone heard throughout the track sounds very much like whirring helicopter blades.

Cyclosa may refer to a species of Spider part of the Araneidae family which creates life-size decoys of itself in order to hunt for its prey. ^[2]
