A synth part may be sampled from (or inspired by) Kraftwerk's 'Showroom Dummies' from their 1977 album 'Trans Europe Express'. ^[1]

Jacquard may refer to a Jacquard Weave, also known as a Jacquard loom. It is a fabric in which the design is incorporated into the weave instead of being printed or dyed on.
Jacquard may also refer to Albert Jacquard, a geneticist well known for defending the concept of 'degrowth'. 'Degrowthists' aim to maximize happiness and well-being through non-consumptive means—sharing work, consuming less, while devoting more time to art, music, family, culture and community. Jacquard also took a strong stand against commercial use of the human genome in the 1990s.
A Causeway is a road or railway route across a broad body of water or wetland raised up on an embankment.

-* [http://thequietus.com/users/10546 Joe Clay]: "Anyone who got into [[Boards of Canada|BOC]] because they quite liked the mellow vibes of "[[Dayvan Cowboy]]" is going to run screaming for the hills after hearing "[[Jacquard Causeway]]". It opens with a classic [[Boards of Canada|BOC]] woozy, tape-distorted melody, backed by rumbling bottom-end and a stark rim-shot snare drum. Sounds are piled on top of each other, all to an ominous backbeat, until the sonic clutter becomes quite overwhelming. It's intense, repetitive and disorientating. A luminous swell of synths finally washes over the track after about six minutes of that relentless racket. Definitely the most extreme thing BOC have ever committed to tape." <ref>http://thequietus.com/articles/12364-boards-of-canada-tomorrows-harvest-review</ref>
