Notes: We begin with just Akkerman's guitar playing very simply, backed by organ and cymbals (09:29-09:56). Next comes a hauntingly beautiful continuation of that backed this time by synthesiser and rhythm section (09:57-10:22). This leads into a guitar-led section featuring horn-like 'violined' then plucked and sometimes very jazzy guitar (10:23-13:09). A second guitar is then overdubbed and the organ slowly becomes more prominent (13:10-14:13). The effects pedal is again depressed next and handclaps are heard as things slow a little (14:14-14:39). This gives way to guitar, keyboards and finger cymbals (14:40-14:53). This sequence is more or less repeated (14:54-15:05/15:06-15:30) until things slow down to a silence.
