# "Movement V: 90 Hour Sleep/Untitled" (hidden track) – 20:21 # "Traversing Through the Arctic Cold We Search for the Spirit of Yuta/Intermission" – 6:38 # "易" (Also referred to as "Symbol Song")* – 4:23 "Leitmotif" was produced and engineered by Dredg and Travis Crenshaw, and was recorded at Brilliant Studios in San Francisco, CA. As claimed in the booklet "all instruments and sounds are real. All of the music on this album is created by Dredg, there are no samples. Most of the lyrics can be found at the lyrics to parts of several verses (and most of one whole song) are unknown outside the band. Aside from the difference in artwork, the two versions of "Leitmotif" remain nearly identical. 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. 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 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. Universal 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 story of "Leitmotif" is about a man with a "spiritual disease" who must seek out different cultures of the world to find a cure for his affliction. It should be noted that the lyrics to the songs are not identical to the words in the booklet, although some passages are quoted word for word. "Leitmotif" was recorded in ten days, and is a concept album in which the songs revolve around a small story written by bassist Drew Roulette included in the album booklet. A " leitmotif" is also a recurring musical theme associated within a particular piece of music with a particular person, place or idea.
The album was re-released by Universal, with different artwork, on September 11, 2001. "Leitmotif" is Dredg's first full-length album, originally released on May 30, 1999. Next album = " Extended Play for the Eastern Hemisphere"
Label = Independent, re-released with Universal Recorded = Brilliant Studios, San Francisco, California
