''Leitmotif'' is Dredg's first full-length concept album, originally released on May 30, 1998. The album was re-released by Interscope Records, with different artwork, on September 11, 2001. A "leitmotif" is also a recurring musical theme associated within a particular piece of music with a particular person, place or idea. The album is currently out of print. ==About the album== ''Leitmotif'' was recorded in ten days. Interscope Records re-released ''Leitmotif'' unchanged from its original version, both in the recording and in the booklet's text, essentially duplicating the band's original, independently released demo. The newer case features the uniform brown paper package with white text as pictured, to the upper right, with only the phrase "We live like penguins in the desert. Why can't we live like tribes?" printed on the inner sleeve; a phrase used in the lyrics to ''Triangle'' on Dredg's next album, ''El Cielo''. The older case features the cover pictured, to the lower right, as well as more brown and blue topographical photos on the case and the booklet which are similar to the cover. Aside from the difference in artwork, the two versions of ''Leitmotif'' remain nearly identical. Most of the lyrics can be found at (Traversing ); the lyrics to parts of several verses (and most of one whole song) are unknown outside the band. All of the music on this album is created by Dredg, there are no samples. As claimed in the booklet "all instruments and sounds are real. No samples." ''Leitmotif'' was produced and engineered by Dredg and Travis Crenshaw, and was recorded at Brilliant Studios in San Francisco, CA. In May 2010, to celebrate the album's 11th birthday, the band re-released a limited edition of the album on vinyl, with only 500 copies produced.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Note from the band )〕 In addition, the band performed the album in its entirety during the tour dates surrounding the anniversary. During the live performance of the album, Gus Lyndon Farwell, who sang the operatic parts on track 6, "Movement III: Lyndon", on the original recording, made a guest appearance on the song. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leitmotif (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
