* [http://thequietus.com/users/10546 Joe Clay]: "An instant classic and the most playful track on the album, featuring a juddering slo-mo beat, a bouncy, pinging bass line and warm chords with the occasional flourish of classical strings. It sounds a bit like [[wikipedia:Aphex Twin|Aphex Twin]]'s 'Cow Cud Is A Twin' or something else from the album, I Care Because You Do.

  • "Palace Posy" is an anagram of "Apocalypse". [1]

Trivia

  • A palace is the official residence of a sovereign, archbishop, bishop, or other exalted person. The word derives from the Latin palatium, from Palatium, the Palatine Hill in Rome where the emperors' residences were built.[2]
  • A posy is a brief sentiment, motto, or legend. Alternatively it is a word for a flower or bouquet of flowers. During the Plague, posies of herbs were carried as protection and to ward off the smell of the disease.[3]
