* ConceptAlbum: Despite being mostly instrumental, the exotic numbers speak of space and an unknown future.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The cover, by an artist known only as “Harvey”, depicts a drum rising over what looks like an ocean of piano keys.
* EchoingAcoustics: Has more reverb than you might expect on a jazz album.
* {{Instrumental}}: Only “China Gate” has vocals.
* PunBasedTitle: “Bassism”, rhymes with “racism”.
* QuestioningTitle: “What’s That?” and “Where is Tomorrow?”
* SpaceRock: Jazz, but a forerunner of the genre. Most of the numbers bear titles having to do with space or flight.
* {{Surrealism}}: The cover looks like it bears a certain Creator/SalvadorDali influence. The music somehow feels surreal and dreamlike as well.
