  • More interestingly, "June 9th" is the date the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) opened its investigation into the WACO compound following the purchase of a significant number of firearms. according to the report " it was classified as sensitive, "thereby calling for a high degree of oversight" from both Houston and headquarters." There are many references to the WACO compound and branch davidians like in the song 1969 or In a Beautiful Place out in the Country (release).
  • In numerous interviews, Boards of Canada have referred to "Red Moon nights", free-form outdoor gatherings with friends, music, movies and bonfires that Hexagon Sun has celebrated for years. The Red Moon incident appeared to reference an event on June 10th, 2006. Also, the album Tomorrow's Harvest was released on June 10th, 2013.
