==Production==

*All of the percussion on "An Eagle in Your Mind" was created using cut up samples of [[Michael Sandison]]'s girlfriend's voice ([http://fredd-e.narfum.org/boc/interviews/#remixmag Remix Magazine, 2002]).

==Samples/Lyrics==

*At 1:53 an unidentified speech sample (thought by some to be the voice Welsh actor Philip Madoc) begins narrating a story. It is difficult to understand, but thought to be the following:

the holts are nearly always close to sea
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs
all at the top of a sand edifice
high above the sea
a safe place for cubs
we wait, tense
we're disappointed
she leaves her [?] loaded by others of us
the holts are evenly spread
about 500 meters apart
[?]
or so they advertise


Another variation is as follows: 
 
Holts are nearly always close to the sea, 
fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs, 
all atop the sand edifice, 
high above the sea: 
a safe place for cubs. 
We wait ... tense. We're disappointed. 
She leaves her [?] to look for [others?] 
The holts are evenly spaced, about 5 meters apart, 
Only enough to fool the passers-by, or so they advertise 
 
I love you
 

==Other Versions/Contexts==

* A video (made for the [[WATMM video contest]]) was created for "An Eagle in Your Mind" using stock footage sampled from Tatsuo Sato's anime film "[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0385586/ Cat Soup]." This video also offers an interpretation of the vocal sample heard during the track.

==Trivia==

*This track's title is referenced in "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" on [[Geogaddi]]
