* "[[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 />

* 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 />

* Boards of Canada’s fascination with numbers seems to appear in this track, as the chant in this track loops 9 times, and in the religion of Hinduism, the number 9 is considered a complete perfected and divine number, as it represents the end of a cycle in the decimal system, which dates back to as early as 3000 BC.<br />

* Throughout the track, a voice saying either “Push” or “Punish” can be heard repeating 6 times, a clear reference to the six sides of a hexagon, this could have been alluded to in the [[VHS Tape Mailings]], which at one point the voice narrating over the track could be saying “Six voices and music to guide your path.”.<br />

<br />
"[[Acts Of Magic]]" is the eighth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''. It was partially heard in the album's official teaser trailer, released on April 22nd, 2026.<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
<br />
== Comments ==<br />
* While there does not appear to be a correlation between the track numbers and their song titles throughout ''[[Inferno]]'', there appears a few track titles and numbers that could. "[[Acts Of Magic]]" is track 8. This could refer to any of the following;<br />
** The 8 types (acts) of magic practiced by magicians: prediction, vanishing, transformation, restoration, transposition, penetration, levitation and appearance.<br />
** It could also refer to the 8 types of forbidden magic: necromancy, sex magic, goetia, diabolic pact magic, maleficium, blood rites, forbidden divination, and dream divination.<br />
** Thirdly, is the possible Biblical link. "[[Acts Of Magic]]" could be a reference to [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts%208%3A9-25&version=NIV verses 9-25] from the eighth chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, in which a Samarian magician named Simon encounters Peter and John and asks to receive the power of the Holy Spirit in exchange for money.<br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
* Samples of birds chirping, and the buzzing of an insect swarm, can be heard throughout the track.<br />
* Meanwhile, unintelligible radio chatter can be heard buried beneath the sound of the insect swarm.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The trailer version adds the drone heard at the beginning of "[[Prophecy At 1420 MHz]]" on top of the track.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9h6fJg-KoA "INFERNO. 29 May 2026."] [[Boards of Canada]] & [[Warp Records]], YouTube</ref><br />
