"You Retreat In Time And Space" is the seventeenth track on Boards of Canada's fifth studio album, Inferno.

Comments

• The first nearly three minutes of the track may have inspired by the 1979 track Sea Cathedral by Christian Chevalier, which was included on Boards of Canada's 2019 mixtape Societas x Tape as the outro track, prior to Inferno’s release.

Samples / Lyrics

• During the first half of the track, sounds of ocean waves hitting a shore can be heard.

Trivia

• The first half of the song sounds nearly identical when played forward or reversed.
• At the Inferno listening parties, this song had its own unique visuals, which consisted of sped-up turquoise-colored 1970s-era home videos of children. This was unlike the other tracks, which were accompanied simply by a hexagon flower spinning with fire inside. The visuals shown have not been officially released.
