"Trails" is a loop that appeared on an early official Boards of Canada website[1], which featured this loop (among other looped Boards of Canada tracks) set to visuals (in the case of this song, a sky with contrails).

Comments[edit]

  • A 'remixed' version of "Trails" that has a drum loop can be found in a widely circulated fake of the unreleased album, Closes Vol. 1, as track 8, "Close2". This is a mislabeling, and the audio itself is nothing more than a fan-made remix/fake.

Samples / Lyrics[edit]

  • A sample of "Space Fantasy" by Isao Tomita provides the flanging sound in the background.[2]
