* Boards of Canada was included in a "Radical Album Cover Art: Sampler 3" book in 2003 (http://amzn.com/185669352X) for Geogaddi, but included in the book was some band's album art that had this duck (:TW:) giving a tour to a cow of the duck's torture dungeon where another cow was kept locked up, and in the comic the duck precedes to rape the captive cow and invites the cow friend to rape it too. I think, given that Virtual = Foie (Faux Gras/Fauxgressive), and a few other references to ducky, this might just be a :WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWTF:.

Comments[edit]

Samples / Lyrics[edit]

  • "Uritual" shares melodies with the subsequent track, "Nothing Is Real".
  • The low drone throughout the track is possibly a sample of the sound of "singing sand dunes", a phenomenon caused by wind blowing over sand dunes where the sand has certain specific properties, which can be heard in around 35 desert locations around the world. This fits with the desert related imagery used in the packaging and promotion of Tomorrow's Harvest. A clip of the sound of singing sand dunes, very similar to the drone in "Uritual", can be found here.

Trivia[edit]

  • In keeping with the palindromic nature of the album, Uritual is a reprise of sorts of "Jacquard Causeway, featuring one of the same synth motifs.
  • In English, the prefix Ur- means "original" or "primitive."[1]
  • Ur was a Sumerian city-state in Mesopotamia.[2]
