* Play "[[Dandelion]]" in reverse, and a richer melody will become evident. The "[[Dandelion]]" of the track is apparently a deep-sea creature, perhaps an anemone. Attempts to bring one to the surface resulted in its disintegration because of pressure changes. The narration describes attempts to make a device to bring one to the surface intact.
