one very important thought
  • It would be wise to remember that the same people who would stop you from listening to Boards of Canada may be back next year to complain about a book or even a tv program. If you can be told what you can see or read then it follows that you can be told what to say or think. Defend your constitutionally protected rights, no one else will do it for you. sopastrike.com

[edit] Comments

  • A weather phenomenon, prominent in Calgary and the surrounding area - [pete from phaelam], [averythefishpeddler]. Also, a native American people of Oregon (in light of the other track titles Kaini Industries and Pete Standing alone) [DC] - see comments on those tracks elsewhere on the page. A make of helicopter. Also [Will], a famous checkers-playing program, the first to win a world championship (since one of BoC has studied AI, this is a good suggestion; more so, since the program was written in Canada.)
  • The opening melody is nearly identical to that of Wildlife Analysis.

[edit] Samples

  • It is thought that the sound made by a fishing reel (perhaps casting a line) was sampled and used as part of the percussion loop early in the song.[1]
