* Listen to the little synthesizer riffs that occur between songs. They are note-for-note quotes from the guitar part on track 1, [[Giant]], just after the line "The birth of a realization...." The rhythm has been modified, however. (Thanks to Johan Bryntesson.) | * Listen to the little synthesizer riffs that occur between songs.

* In the song [[Giant]], around 2:11, there's a quiet melody played on low brass. That same melody, or one very much like it, appears in [[Intro 74]] beginning around 1:42 on brass synthesizer. (Thanks to Tyler Darnell.) | |||
* The title [[Alucard]] is "Dracula" spelled backwards. (Thanks to Chad Bacho.) To match this, the vocals are processed through a reverse reverb. To accomplish this, Gentle Giant most likely sung the vocals onto tape, reversed them, played them through a reverb onto another tape, and reversed the tape again. The effect is that the reverb comes before the words and backwards. | * The title [[Alucard]] is "Dracula" spelled backwards. (Thanks to Chad Bacho.)

* At the very end of [[Isn't It Quiet And Cold?]], after the instruments fade, a spacy whisper says the word "alone," recapping the lyrical theme of the song. It's very quiet and sounds like wind. (Thanks to Dave Didur.) | * At the very end of [[Isn't It Quiet And Cold?]], after the instruments fade, a spacy whisper says the word "alone," recapping the lyrical theme of the song.
