*All of the percussion on "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" was created using cut up samples of [[Mike]]'s girlfriend's voice. <ref>[[Interviews#2002-07-01:_Remix|Remix Magazine, 2002]]</ref><br />
* A video (made for the [[WATMM video contest]]) was created for "[[An Eagle in Your Mind]]" by "[https://on-go.bandcamp.com/ Jesse Anderson]" 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.<br />
<br />
==Samples / Lyrics==<br />
<br />
* Between 1:53 and 2:50, a speech sample can be heard. It comes from the documentary "On the Tracks of the Wild Otter (1983)" <ref>http://www.reddit.com/r/boardsofcanada/comments/2sndzz/sound_familiar/</ref><ref>http://www.wildfilmhistory.org/film/467/On+the+Tracks+of+the+Wild+Otter.html</ref>, narrated by Hugh Miles. The sample can be heard at around 23:56 <ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVMh7r0LHW4&t=23m56s</ref>, and says :<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The holts are nearly always close to the sea<br /><br />
in fallen boulders, old ruins, and cliffs<br /><br />
all at the top of a stack, like this<br /><br />
High above the sea<br /><br />
A safe place for cubs<br /><br />
I wait, tense<br /><br />
then disappointed<br /><br />
She leaves her spraint to notify others of her visit<br /><br />
The holts are evenly spaced<br /><br />
about 500 yards apart, [enough for the use of any otter who passes by?], with or without cubs<br /> </blockquote><br />
<br />
*Right after this sample, around 2:50, a different voice, saying "I love you", is heard.<br />
<br />
* [JimE] noticed something else:<br />
<blockquote><br />
"there's a background sound throughout the song which could be "sweat-sweat" (in the first part of the song), with "tension" coming in later. It's hard to recognise as speech, but it could well be; one of the interviews says that the "percussion" in the track was constructed using the voice of the girlfriend of one of [[Boards of Canada|BoC]]." </blockquote><br />
<br />
* A voice that sounds like a black male singing "No" fades in at 4:35 and continues throughout the song. (Sounds like another 70s/80s disco/funk sample). At 5:27 A scratchy sample saying "Yeah" is played forward, then backward, then forward again, with some additional scrubbing in between. At 6:00, "Yeah" plays again, but only once.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
*This track's title is referenced in "[[Sunshine Recorder]]" on ''[[Geogaddi]]''.<br />
