* "[[Cold Earth]]" could be a reference to a book of the same name by Sarah Moss. In the book, a group of archaeologists visit a medieval dig site in Greenland. They become isolated as a plague pandemic sweeps across the planet, and communication with the outside world breaks down.<br />

* There seems to be a brief phrase in vocoded speach saying "You're too old".<br />
* [[Mike|Sandison]]: "We're definitely vintage hardware freaks. We've always used older gear. Everything we use is decrepit. Our studio is full of wooden things covered with red LEDs. We'll go to great lengths to get hold of a specific instrument just to get a particular sound. For example, there's a sound in Cold Earth that is something like only one second of audio. It comes from an obscure old effect unit that cost us a lot of time and road miles to source, and it ended up being one second of audio on the record. <ref>http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2013/jun/06/boards-of-canada-become-more-nihilistic</ref><br />

* Telepathy is the supposed communication of thoughts or ideas by means other than the known senses. It was a major field of research for scientists during the early 20th century and into the Cold War. <ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telepathy</ref> Upton Sinclair also conducted telepathy experiments in the 30's.<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=ZQEmLUlDXz0C</ref><br />
<br />
* The audio distortions on the vocals of this track may have been modeled after the reported auditory distortions present in Microwave auditory effect <ref>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect</ref>, which was a facet of telepathy research during the Cold War. This auditory phenomenon was used to transmit sounds directly from a microwave emitter into the human brain. Researchers described that the auditory distortions inherent to this process caused "the sounds [to resemble] those emitted by persons with an artificial voice box." <ref> D.R. Justesen. "Microwaves and Behavior", Am Psychologist, 392(Mar): 391–401, 1975.</ref><br />
