Comments

• Joe Clay: "Anyone who got into BOC because they quite liked the mellow vibes of "Davyan Cowboy" is going to run screaming for the hills after hearing "Jacquard Causeway". It opens with a classic 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."

Trivia

• 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.
