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

"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 sound of a large helicopter's blades whirring plays throughout most of the track.

Cyclosa is a species of spider that spins its silk into life-size decoys of itself to aid in hunting prey. ^[1]

-* [http://thequietus.com/users/10546 Joe Clay]: "Another beatless drone-piece, with arpeggiated synths and a subtle melody. It sounds retro-futurist as only [[Boards of Canada|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 [[wikipedia:John Carpenter|John Carpenter]]. It's pretty spooky." <ref>http://thequietus.com/articles/12364-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest-review</ref>
