{{Infobox Song|

[[Image:1984-pontiac-knightrider.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[wikipedia:Knight Rider|Knight Rider]]: A 1984 Pontiac Trans-Am]]

== Comments ==
* Part of the melody in a recurring section of the track is built from what sounds like a 1980's corporate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jingle jingle] (e.g. at 0:27-0:30 on the right channel). This helps the listener remember (if they lived through it) the time period when corporations and organizations were using a certain type of synthetic sound for their catchy jingle melodies to seem "futuristic" and "forward-thinking" while their logo was displayed on the TV. For many this sound should create a nostalgic feeling. Today we still come across these audio-visual artifacts on certain old VHS tapes, which are usually pretty worn out and imperfect, further enhancing the nostalgia when we re-experience them. [[Boards of Canada|BoC]], using a jingle in a track with such a title, might be illustrating how certain sensory perceptions experienced repetitively in waking life (as these jingles were in 1984) can become part of the texture in a dream and furthermore that the worn quality of the recording reflects the imperfect quality of memory.
* In a recent interview from Humo Magazine, [[Marcus Eoin]] elaborates upon the above comment.
<blockquote>
''[[Marcus Eoin|MARCUS EOIN]] (enthusiastic) "Did you hear that on ''[[The Campfire Headphase|Campfire]]'', I played a small part that resembles the jingle of Stephen J. Cannell Productions – you know, the producer of The A-Team?"'' Whether or not this particular jingle appears in this track is unknown.<ref>https://bocpages.org/wiki/Cross_Out_the_Inappropriate</ref>
</blockquote>

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* The sampled piano chord from 1'02 on comes from the second part of "[[Chromakey_Dreamcoat|Chromakey Dreamcoat]]" (at 4'29). The sample is from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtzXvEZcK4&t=278s Gary McFarland & Peter Smith - Rain On The Ocean (4:38)]
* The descending chord progression starting at 0:59 and melodic flourish at 1:09 are similar to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Light_Orchestra Electric Light Orchestra]'s "[https://youtu.be/5nWulNjTR2U?si=hUoPjRcNIvijRFLD&t=98 The Whale]" (starting at 1:38). This is most likely an intentional homage by [[Mike]] and [[Marcus]], and ELO may be an influence on Boards of Canada, being known for including subliminal/hidden messages in their music from the mid 1970s onwards.

== Trivias ==
* Pontiac were a make of American automobiles manufactured by General Motors.
* Chief Pontiac was a well-known Native American leader, for whom the automobile make was named.
* The car from the well-known 1980's television show "Knight Rider" was a 1984 Pontiac Trans-Am.

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Chromakey Dreamcoat
| runtime=5:47
| appearson=[[The Campfire Headphase]]}}

==Comments==
* The title could be a reference to a musical by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber called "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat."<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_and_the_Amazing_Technicolor_Dreamcoat</ref>
* "Chroma key" (or color key) is a technique used in video production to swap in a separate signal source over a particular chrominance range across the source video, e.g. in bluescreen cinema effects.<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_key</ref>

== Samples/Lyrics ==
* 0:45, 2:40, 3:10 - A bird call can be heard from the credits of the 1983 nature documentary "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvIneE_fcHM&t=53m45s On The Tracks Of The Wild Otter]". This sample was discovered by [[Twoism (messageboard)|Twoism]] user personman. This same segment of the documentary can be heard at the beginning of "[[The Smallest Weird Number]]".
* 5:16 - A sample from an early 1970's anti-drug social hygiene film "[http://www.archive.org/details/social_seminar_tom Social Seminar: Tom]".<ref>{{#ev:youtube|_abTIS0Lg0I|480||||start=602|false}}</ref><ref>http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=65400</ref> The sample starts at 10:00.
<blockquote>"Woman: ...two weeks ago for the Christmas formal. [laughs] 
Man: For the Christmas formal?! That's a fuckin' sacrament! 
Woman: Just so, you know, 'cause the Christmas formal last year was so funny. I thought well, maybe... I didn't like mescaline before but I had such a good time. [laughs] It was just so funny. [laughs]"</blockquote>
* 0:32, 0:42 - What appears to be a sample of a whispery, male voice saying what sounds like "Seven" throughout the song.
* 4:29 - A piano chord which is reused as a sample in "[['84 Pontiac Dream]]". The sample is from [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHtzXvEZcK4&t=278s Gary McFarland & Peter Smith - Rain On The Ocean (4:38)]
* 4:30 - A slowed down voice on the right channel repeating "peanut butter. It's doggone good!" sampled from a [https://youtu.be/Wty8UYT6PGw?t=9 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercial]<ref>{{#ev:youtube|Wty8UYT6PGw|480||||start=9|false}}</ref><ref>https://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=287174#p287174</ref>
**[[File:Chromakey Dreamcoat Peanut Butter.mp3]]
* 2:01, 3:01 - Looped faint voices including what sounds like a woman saying "hey".

In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (song)

__TOC__

== Comments ==
*This track also appears on "All Tomorrow's Parties 1.0" ([http://www.discogs.com/release/63128 ATPR CD 1]) compilation in a slightly different form. "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (Edit)" is not simply a shorter edition of the original version, but appears to be an alternative mix of "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country". It starts with a drumbeat instead of the melody, and ends with an extension of the quiet tune heard at the end of the EP version. Additionally, "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (Edit)" does not fade out during the final part.

*While the CD version of the EP makes it clear that the vinyl release should be played at 45rpm, "In a Beautiful Place out in the Country" in particular sounds excellent at 33 1/3, taking on a more dreamlike, haunting quality. An MP3 of the song at this speed was at one time available on the file-sharing network Soulseek.

== Samples / Lyrics ==
* "Come out, and live with a religious community in a beautiful place out in the country", vocoded voice of [[Amo_Bishop_Roden#The_Person|Amo Bishop Roden]] from a 1996 episode of the TV series "Mysteries Magic & Miracles" titled "Visions, Cults, Alchemy & More".<ref>{{#ev:youtube|u6gCmQ1dxek|480||||start=949|false}}</ref>

* The slightly different laughs heard at 3:42 are sampled from Singing Games (Children's Singing Games 1983 Saydisc Records). The sample is about 9 seconds long <ref>{{#ev:youtube|x6zXtOOkfOI|480||||start=303|false}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
*Ranked #360 on Pitchfork Medias top 500 Songs of the 2000's.<ref> http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/7685-the-top-500-tracks-of-the-2000s-500-201/</ref>

== Notes ==
* Track times are from the actual start of mixtape, excluding NTS indent
* Artwork is a vintage photograph of a band playing at the Tomorrowland Terrace in Disneyland, California, dated from the 1970s
* The band in the photograph is playing [[Under The Coke Sign|under a coke sign]], "Cement, Gravel, and Rock Co.", could possibly be the name of the act on stage.
* Track 43 was co-written by Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo. <ref>https://www.boojiboysbasement.com/product/m018/</ref>

== Lyrics ==
* Track at 1:21:54
<blockquote>
On the hill starts a bright new day 
Soon the queen will come our way 
The hillside's a place to share 
A place to grow, love and care

Satellite Anthem Icarus

Mansin: /* Samples/Lyrics */

{{Infobox Song|
| name=Satellite Anthem Icarus
| runtime=6:05
| appearson=[[The Campfire Headphase]]}}

== Comments ==
* The acronym for the title is S.A.I., otherwise known as Strong Artificial Intelligence, or Strong AI. [[Marcus Eoin|Marcus]] of Boards of Canada is known to have studied Artificial Intelligence in university.
* By [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blend blending] of the words in the title, one can form the phrase "satanic elite them are us" ('''Sat'''''ellite'' '''An'''''them'' '''Ic'''''arus'').

== Samples/Lyrics ==

*Beginning at 4:14, a whisper can be heard saying "Satellite."

*The arp that begins at 1:46 was featured as an isolated sample on their old website (15.swf). The loop is pitched up and down and has a sweeping filter.
[[File:15.mp3|thumb]]

== Trivia ==
* Icarus is a character in Greek Mythology who loses his wings when he flies too close to the sun. Icarus and his father were imprisoned on an island and determined to escape by constructing themselves wings and flying from captivity. During their escape, Icarus deviated from the careful lead of his father, flying too high, where the sun melted the wax holding his wing’s feathers together. As a result, Icarus fell from the sky and drowned in the ocean below. Icarus is also quite literally a celestial body orbiting the sun, and could even be considered a satellite, depending on the definition.

== Comments ==

== Samples/Lyrics ==
*The human voices that start around the 3:07 mark are a distorted sample of the Azan/Adhan or the Islamic call to prayer, probably this one in particular: https://youtu.be/wvzVgidWrDM?t=49
*One of the voice samples could also be from The Elegants - Little Star. Here is an audio clip to demonstrate this theory where both tracks are overlayed and slowed down: [[File:Peacock Tail vs The Elegants Little Star.mp3|thumb]]

== Trivia ==
*Apart from being the most colourful feature of the peacock, it was also a figure used by Euclid to prove the Pythagorean theorem.<ref>http://www.freemasons-freemasonry.com/euclid_unveiled.html</ref>
*The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logo_of_NBC NBC Peacock], one of the most famous TV station logo in the USA, features the colours of the rainbow. Rainbows are frequently referenced in Boards of Canada's music (see: [[Roygbiv]] on [[MHTRTC]])
