Trivia
- 'Hexagon Sun' refers to the studio of Boards of Canada in East Scotland, but also to the collective of musicians and friends of Michael and Marcus.
- This song has been speculated to contain samples from inside the Hexagon Sun studios. These samples have also been said to match up to voices in the recordings of some live shows backing up the claim that they are from the inside.
- Turquoise Hexagon Sun might be a reference to the Hexagon Sun "collective" of musicians and artists who work at BoC's Hexagon Sun Studio in the east of Scotland.
Samples/Lyrics
- Various bits of speech, repeated elsewhere in the track. It's hard to make out much, but here's [DC]'s guess at some of it:
"there's been a [release/leak]"? [female voice near start] - 0:36, 1:58 "Oh, ... I know" [Scottish girl] - 1:14, 2:35 "Just slightly" [different Scottish girl] - 4:29 "... just [come in at the] end, right?" [English man] - 4:19 "fan - tastic" [same man?] - at about 4:38.
- The girl speaking at about 1:22 and 2:44 sounds (to me) like the same one who speaks all the way through all 3 live recordings of BoC at ATP, Lighthouse, and Warp - which adds to suspicions that these are recordings of people talking at the the Hexagon Sun studio, as the title of the track would suggest.
