"[[The Process]]" is the sixteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.

== Comments ==
* "[[The Process]]" most likely refers to [[wikipedia:The Process Church of the Final Judgment|The Process Church of the Final Judgment]], which was a brief controversial religious group that was established in 1966 and disappeared sometime in the mid-to-late 1970s. [[wikipedia:The Process (collective)|The Process]] was the title of the group's self-titled magazine.
* Additionally, the title could also refer to Process theology, which is a philosophical-theological movement inspired by mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, which claims that God is constantly evolving and deeply connected with the universe, which contradicts traditional theism, which views God, as unchanging and all powerful.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The track contains lyrics that seem to be spoken by a [[wikipedia:Speech synthesis|synthetic female voice]]. From what can be heard, they seem to be nonsensical strings of babble, such as "we noticed the required although they were refreshingly piped and" and "between various Grecian Bishops, it should be vastly seductive."

We noticed the required although they were refreshingly piped and

Sloppily alight, whatever do they tilt often? 
Between various Grecian Bishops

They have the magical discharge 
The rusting have directed it down our palatability 
With lease uncalled shot shelf

* At 0:12, the track contains a sample of the Russian shortwave radio station [[wikipedia:UVB-76|UVB-76]], recorded on February 21st, 2006.<ref>{{#widget:YouTube|id=jOWExpS6q0c}}</ref> Known more widely as "The Buzzer", its broadcast consists of a repeating buzzing sound, which reserves the frequency. This buzzing is occasionally interrupted by short strings of numbers and text, like the one sampled on the track, which are presumed to be codes intended for military and/or intelligence purposes. This also appears to have been sampled on the [[2026_Promo_Campaign#VHS_Tape_Mailings|VHS tapes]] mailed to fans prior to the release of ''[[Inferno]]''.
* During the piano section of the track, what seems to be birds chirping can be heard, accompanied by garbled voices of children, which BoC has used samples of children’s voices in many other tracks.
