Alternative version: The briefest snatch of the main melody here can be heard on the Ramses Shaffy album Sunset Sunkiss.
Notes: The piece now comes to its climax first with the synthesiser-led crescendo backed by piano and the rest of the band (18:58-19:31) then a triple repetition of the original 13-note Akkerman riff heard at the beginning (19:32-20:15). On the last hearing, the mellotron choir is added for a triumphant ritartando ending that closes with cymbals, guitar and majestic piano chords in two groups of four.
