Comments[edit]
- In the adult film "Summer of '72" (which is the source of samples found in "Sixtyniner" / "Sir Prancelot Brainfire", "Niagara" and "P:C:"), there is a character duo named "Julie" and "Candy", so the title may be a reference to them. But it could also be a reference to Julie Ponder and Candace Newmaker, and the lyrics "Your putting me on!" might be a reference to the Candace Newmaker "Rebirth Therapy" event.
- In interviews, Boards of Canada have used "Julie And Candy" as a point of reference for their approach to music production:
In the past, we've taken a much more minimal approach to the texture, like single melody lines where you could clearly hear the instrument. I guess we're heading back toward that empty sound now after Geogaddi, but sometimes it's nice to make a track that just sounds like a weird cacophony of undefined instruments. Most of "Julie And Candy" was actually made up of recorders and flutes.[1]
We don't like using digital things or computer effects so we get sounds by doing things like running whole parts through a really bad tape recorder or something like that. Like the intro on "Julie And Candy" for example, we just played the melody on a couple of whistles and then we bounced it back and forward between the internal mics of two tape-decks until the sound started disappearing into hell. Like when you look at an image reflected within two mirrors forever, in the distance it gets darker and greener and murkier.[2]
Samples / Lyrics[edit]
- In the opening bars of "Julie And Candy" (and again at 2:46), a sample of dialogue taken from George A. Romero's 1972 film "Season of the Witch" (alternately titled "Hungry Wives") can be heard:
Shirley: "You're putting me on!"
Gregg: "We're going to try it, you ever try it?"
Shirley: "You're putting me on!"
Gregg: "I'm TURNING you on."
Shirley: "You're putting me on! Where did you get that stuff?"
Gregg: "Oh, Nikki's growing a patch out in the backyard".
Shirley: "Come on, you're putting me on."
Nikki: "Yeah, he's putting you on, he's a brat!"
Shirley: "Uh-huh. Sure, sure!"
The original audio sampled from "Season of the Witch". MP3 sample
- From 4:00 to about 4:40, a female voice can be heard quickly saying, "Hey!" It starts at 4:00, it's very easy to hear at 4:26 and 4:33. It comes from the left side.
