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

Focus On The Spiral
Running time 1.28
Appears on Closes Vol. 1


  • Golden spiral: start with a rectangle whose length and breadth are in the golden ratio (about 1.618:1). Remove a square from it, and it leaves a smaller rectangle of the same shape. Repeat this process. You can then draw a logarithmic spiral called the "golden spiral". The centre of the spiral is sometimes called "the eye of God". [DC]

  • When discussing dynamical systems in mathematics, a "spiral" is also often called a "focus". When drawn on a phase plane, this appears as an infinite asymptotal spiral, an example of which is mentioned above. This probably has relevence to this track title, considering the other mathematical themes in this album. [Thatch]
