 * "[[Seven Forty Seven]]" is in reference to the [[wikipedia:Boeing 747|Boeing 747]] aircraft, which was first entered into service in 1970. Many themes of BoC's music involve references to air travel and the 1970's.
 * Fans have speculated the number Seven-Forty-Seven could be a devious reference to 666. If added literally, 7 plus 40 plus 7 equals 54, which is also 9 times 6. Nine sixes could be written out as 666 666 666.

 *An early version of this track was featured on the [[Boards of Canada]] website in 2002 (now available [http://www.atomless.com/projects/boc/site/ here]) as an infinite interactive loop. The playback could be controlled via keyboard, making it possible to hear distinct parts of the track separately.
