"[[Arena Americanada]]" is the fifteenth track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
<br />
== Comments ==<br />
* "Americanada" is a portmanteau of America and Canada.<br />
** It can also be read as a combination of America and "nada", the latter word being Spanish for "nothing".<ref>[https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nada “nada”] Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary</ref><br />
* The jingle in the outro of the track is slightly reminiscent of the Cosecha jingle at the end of "[[New Seeds]]".<br />
* The title [[Arena Americanada]] may be a reference to the Scotiabank Saddledome, which is an arena located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which the father of the sandison brothers had helped work on the construction of the arena in the early 1980s. https://youtu.be/N06boAGV0dg?is=Rt9AlIIND4sxZbcT<br />
* The synth bass that appears in this track from 0:55 onwards is reused from “[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]” at 2:58, from earlier on the album.<br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
* During the fade-out a recording of what seems to be the sea along with occasional seagull calls can be heard.<br />
* There is the faint sound of a crowd of people cheering and whistling present most of the song<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* [[Arena Americanada]] is played in 60Hz, which is the utility frequency in the Americas and parts of Asia.<br />

"[[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]]" is the third track on [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album, ''[[Inferno]]''.<br />
<br />
__TOC__<br />
<br />
<br />
== Comments ==<br />
* [[wikipedia:Hydrogen|Hydrogen]], [[wikipedia:Helium|helium]], and [[wikipedia:Lithium|lithium]] are the first three elements of the [[wikipedia:Periodic_table|periodic table]].<br />
* Unlike the others, [[wikipedia:Leviathan|Leviathan]] refers to a massive sea monster found in [[wikipedia:Jewish_mythology|Jewish mythology]].<br />
* Hydrogen, helium, and lithium were the first elements to be "produced" [[wikipedia:Big_Bang_nucleosynthesis|during, and shortly after, the Big Bang.]] All further elements are created during the formation, evolution and death of stars, potentially the "Leviathan" the track title is referring to.<br />
* The title of the track can be abbreviated/initialised as "H He Li L", which bears resemblance to the word Hell, the abode of the dead in various cultures and religions. Boards of Canada have used this title trick before - "[[Satellite Anthem Icarus]]" can be abbreviated as "SAT AN IC".<br />
* Interestingly the title [[Hydrogen Helium Lithium Leviathan]] may be connected to the four books of The Satanic Bible, which contains four books (Satan, Lucifer, Beilal, and Leviathan), and the name of the third track contains four words (Hydrogen, Helium, Lithium, and Leviathan), meanwhile each of the four books is given are element an element to go with them (in order they are fire, air, earth, and water), interestingly Beilal is earth and lithium can mainly be found inside the crust of the Earth, Lucifer is air and helium is famously known to be lighter than air, hydrogen isn’t exactly connected to fire but it is highly combustible and is one of the primary elements of stars (which are often thought of as balls of fire) and one of the primary symbolisms used in connection with the occult is a pentagram, which is a five pointed star.<br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
* Starting at 2:58, buried chanting can be heard.<br />
* At 2:58, what sounds like shattered glass being moved can be heard along side the bongos.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The chords and sound of the violin like lead synth are reminiscent of "[[Aquarius]]" from [[Boards of Canada]]’s 1998 album ''[[Music Has The Right To Children]]''.<br />
* The bongos starting at 2:57 are the same bongos that can be heard in the track “[[Alpha And Omega]]”.<br />

[[Vol.4 - P. Primers - 177 Giraud's Mirror]] is a track released exclusively on a hexagonal [[wikipedia:flexi_disc|flexi disc]] which was included with the Red 2LP vinyl edition of ''[[Inferno]]'', [[Boards of Canada]]'s fifth studio album which released in 2026.<br />

== Comments ==<br />
* The name of the track may be referring to a vintage ceramic mirror from the 1960s designed by French artist Marcel Giraud, which the mirror has 6 sides (which makes it a hexagon, akin to the flexidisc) and five loops (5 BoC albums) with a beginning and ending place for the candles but connected overall possibly unifying the whole discography together, and one of the colors the mirror was made in was turquoise, perhaps connecting it to the “[[Turquoise Hexagon Sun]]”.<br />
<br />
== Samples / Lyrics ==<br />
<br />
The repeating garbled vocal sample in the track is from the outro of a McDonald's training film from 1972:<ref>{{#ev:youtube|l0NOhQj1m3s|480||||start=804|false}}</ref><br />

<blockquote>You have just one life to live<br /><br />
Make it rich with what you give<br /><br />
To your brother<br /><br />
The greatest gift is the smile you give<br /><br />
To your brother</blockquote><br />
* At 0:50, 1:13, 1:37, 2:00, 2:24, 2:47, and 3:12, a heavily obscured, and reverberated voice either saying “Push” or “Punish” can be hear, which the distortion of the sample causes a kind of auditory illusion, making listeners either hear “Push” or “Punish”.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* The liner notes appear to refer to the "P. Primer trigger recordings" from the "MBI Institute" as [[2026_Promo_Campaign#Analysis:_Moody_Bible_Institute|mentioned in the promo VHS tapes]].<br />
* The "MBI Institute" is also mentioned, along with the "Mass Behavioral Initiative," in the introductory audio for the [[Inferno_listening_parties#Inferno_Sessions|Inferno Sessions]].<br />
* Boards of Canada's fascination with numbers seems to pop up here. 177 has a few correlations but one of the more notable is that 177 is the smallest full 3x3 Magic Square, Magic Constant of distinct prime numbers.<br />
