Revision as of 08:59, 26 July 2008

Production

• All of the percussion on "An Eagle in Your Mind" was created using cut up samples of Michael Sandison's girlfriend's voice (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 "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
