• Some of the songs on Embryonic are edited free-form jams. Frontman Wayne Coyne explained this one in the album's press notes: "Another of the early freak-out jams that showed us a new way. We began to name our free-form sessions using astrological signs. We didn't know how many we'd end up with, so this naming system was a solution to keeping track. But it quickly began to color what the little pieces of music meant. I guess everybody already has an abstract concept in their mind that is evoked by the zodiac stuff."
• Coyne spoke further about the astrological theme in an interview with Glide Magazine: "I can say for sure that these ideas of believing that your life is really driven by some cosmic entity - the stars, or whatever - I mean, part of me knows that that's just completely bullshit. But, part of me wants to believe that we are, in some way, a slave to something. Instead of everything in our lives necessarily being about, 'Here's what I want. Here's what I believe. Here's what I think is right, and I have the power to do it. F--k it.' There's a surrendering. I know it sounds stupid and very hippie-like, but there are times when I just like standing with trees, and dirt, and with my dogs and animals. I'm not more powerful than a tree or my dogs - I'm just one of them. Those things, I think, can add little nuances to expression that are really unspeakable. And maybe that's why I think this kind of music is kind of... I mean, words like 'animalistic' or 'primitive,' they don't really do it justice, but they hint at something that is less contrived."
