"Triangles and Rhombuses" is the fifth track on Boards of Canada's debut studio album, Music Has the Right to Children.

Comments

  • The initial tune of "Triangles and Rhombuses" is notably detuned, with note pitches falling in between conventional "tuned" pitches.
  • The separate vignette at the end of the track, which it shares with "Basefree", is believed to be a composition named "It's Too Orangey", and also appears on Random 35 Tracks Tape.[1]
  • Worth noting that when a triangle & a rhombus are placed adjacent they create a five-sided polygon, making it significant that this is track 5. This trend is of course followed on track six, ‘(Six)tyten’. [JayeBirdDown]

Samples / Lyrics

  • The drum loop that can be heard throughout the song is sampled from the 1982 song “Length of Time” by Stephen Mallinder.
