**The music bears a resemblance to the orbit music from ''[[Destiny]]'', named ''The Great Unknown''. | |||
**The track title ''Eighth'' refers to the music being an excerpt from ''[[Music of the Spheres]]'' track eight, ''The Hope.'' It can also be interpreted as an eighth in the context of a musical scale, or one full octave from the starting note. This is also in reference to ''The Hope,'' as each track in ''Music of the Spheres'' is meant to play the Lydian flat-7 scale, with ''The Hope'' returning to the starting note of C, representing an octave. | |||
***This is not the only reference to ''Music of the Spheres'' in Alpha Lupi. Some of the prose includes references to the track titles in their corresponding poems. For example, in Monday's poem, it says "The path is set." This is because Monday represents the Moon, and the piece from ''Music of the Spheres'' that represents the Moon is called ''The Path.'' | |||
