17 | * AlliterativeTitle: "'''R'''ose '''R'''ouge". |
18 | * {{Blues}}: "Sure Thing", a melancholic track with a John Lee Hooker sample. |
19 | * DeliberatelyMonochrome and DesignStudentsOrgasm: The cover. An old photograph from the early 1900s, with some color added to it. |
20 | * GratuitousFrench: Not exactly gratuitous since this is a French album, but it's notable since they are the only two track titles in French: "Pont des Arts" ("Bridge of Art") and "La Goutte d'Or" ("The Taste of Gold"). |
21 | * IndecipherableLyrics: "Sure Thing" makes use of a Music/JohnLeeHooker sample, but it's quite difficult to make out what the man is mumbling half of the time. We can make out: "It's so hard, morning, droning, to you-ou, and that ain't right". |
22 | * {{Instrumental}}: All tracks are instrumental, save for occasional StudioChatter, laughing and a few throwaway lines. The major exception is "Rose Rouge" with the lines "I want you to get together. Put your hands together one time. I want you to get together" and "Sure Thing" which has a sample of Music/JohnLeeHooker's voice. |
23 | * {{Jazz}}: All the tracks have a jazzy feeling, exemplified by trumpets, piano, bass and the like. |
24 | * LimitedLyricsSong: "Rose Rouge" |
25 | --> ''I want you to get together'' |
26 | --> ''Put your hààààààààààààààànds together one time'' |
27 | --> ''I want you to get together'' |
28 | * NonAppearingTitle: The album title doesn't appear in any of the tracks of the few lyrics that appear. |
29 | * OneWordTitle: "Tourist" |
30 | * QuestioningTitle: "What You Think About?" |
31 | * {{Sampling}}: |
32 | ** "Rose Rouge" uses samples from Marlena Shaw's "Woman of the Ghetto" from her album "Live At Montreux". The drum and bass loop are lifted from Dave Brubeck's "Take Five". |
33 | ** "Montego Bay Spleen" uses excerpts from "First Dangerous Match" from the Scientist album "Scientist Wins the World Cup" and "Laser Attack" from "Scientist Meets The Space Invaders". |
34 | ** "Sure Thing" has sampled elements from "Windy C" by 100% Pure Poison and "Harry's Philosophy" by Music/MilesDavis and Music/JohnLeeHooker from the soundtrack of the film noir "The Hot Spot" (1990). |
35 | * ShoutOut: "Rose Rouge" was featured on the soundtrack of ''Much Ado About Nothing'' (2013) by Creator/JossWhedon. |
