 * Listen to Schoenberg's "Heimfahrt" (Homeward Journey) from ''Pierrot Lunaire''. You'll notice a melody that Gentle Giant used for their song [[Edge Of Twilight]]. (Thanks to Jeff Clement.)
 * The first four notes of [[Edge Of Twilight]] are the same as those of "God Save the Queen," which Gentle Giant used to perform as [[The Queen]]. It is unknown whether this was intentional or coincidental. (Thanks to David McCalman.)
-* The guitar solo in [[HOUSE, THE STREET, THE ROOM The House, The Street, The Room]] is played over a whole tone scale. (Thanks to Michael Beauvois.)

 * The main theme from [[The Moon Is Down]], played on saxophones, contains a quote from '''Medea''' by the classical composer Samuel Barber. (Thanks to Jeremy Lakatos.)
 * The title of [[The Moon Is Down]] is found in Shakespeare's ''Macbeth'', Act II, Scene 1, Line 2. (Thanks to Jason Rubin.) In addition, John Steinbeck had a book of the same name, and according to E. Shaun Russell, "upon reading the lyrics (and having read the book a few years back) there is a distinct possibility that the song was named after Steinbeck's book rather than Shakespeare's line."
