* "[[White Cyclosa]]" is highly reminiscent of, and possibly a homage to, music from the film Day of the Dead (1985). Suggested comparison - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwHQltabnxU the opening sequence of "The Dead Suite" on the soundtrack album, credited to John Harrison.]

* There seems to be a direct connection with White Cyclosa and the ending of the 1982 animated film [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Plague_Dogs_(film) The Plague Dogs] - as if Boards of Canada wrote the track as an alternative score for this segment of the film.  This is most apparent as the helicopter in pursuit of the two dogs flies directly overhead (synchronising flawlessly with the helicopter sample in the track's intro).  The finding is illustrated below in a YouTube video uploaded by [https://www.youtube.com/user/KensDreaming KensDreaming].

Running time 3:13
Appears on Tomorrow's Harvest


Comments

  • There seems to be a direct connection with White Cyclosa and the ending of the 1982 animated film The Plague Dogs - as if Boards of Canada wrote the track as an alternative score for this segment of the film. This is most apparent as the helicopter in pursuit of the two dogs flies directly overhead (synchronising flawlessly with the helicopter sample in the track's intro). The finding is illustrated below in a YouTube video uploaded by KensDreaming.


Samples / Lyrics

  • The sound of a large helicopter's blades whirring plays throughout most of the track.

Trivia

  • Cyclosa is a species of spider that spins its silk into life-size decoys of itself to aid in hunting prey.[1]
