"[[Naraka]]" is the seventh track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
== Comments ==<br />
* "[[Naraka]]" is the [[wikipedia:Hinduism|Hindu]] place for the expiration of sins after death, roughly corresponding to the Christian concept of hell (or perhaps purgatory).<ref>[[wikipedia:Naraka (Hinduism)]]</ref><br />
* [[Naraka]] is structurally similar to “[[Palace Posy]]” from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 2013 album [[Tomorrow’s Harvest]], with a first half that starts immediately with no intro followed by a second half that heavily involves chanting.<br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
* From 2:39 onwards, a [[wikipedia:International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness|Hare Krishna]] chant sampled from a short promotional film showcasing the worldwide activities of the [[wikipedia:International_Society_for_Krishna_Consciousness|International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON)]] in the early 1980s.<ref>{{#ev:youtube|5PDzmY9A6pY|480||||start=5|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/1tqh8h0/boards_of_canada_inferno/</ref><br />
