I worked at a television station in the 80s...I would go in Saturday afternoon and not get home until Sunday night. I helped produce a sports highlights show and it went on live on Sunday morning. Live, meaning you can't screw up at all. Someone had to wait in the control room on the top floor until the crew got back with the game tapes and we'd start editing, writing what it was you were looking at and all the sports endings for the day. I also did a feature story during the week that needed to be edited in.
When we had night away games it was a b#tch to do. We simply didn't have the technology of today.
When it was my designated time to sit in this empty building for an hour while they came back from an away game, I shut off all the lights and doors and I would pop in any available CD and since it was a studio the speakers were fantastic. The editing and television equipment were in one room on an entire panel that stretched the entire room, looked like the starship enterprise, and I'd only leave those lights on and pop in a CD and crank it to full - no one is around to care.
Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason came out then and there was the CD and I popped it in, turned it up full sound and just got absorbed in the music. The first track gave me the chills so I walked around to make sure the doors were locked.
This was the first track that overlapped the second.
Never heard of the song, ~21 minutes long... interesting, in that many of my wife's aunts, uncles and cousins live in Wichita, and I live 40 minutes from The Falls. Some Spirogyra and early jazz-blues guitars and maybe some South American influence?

It's an unusual combination of elements, definitely. "Ambient world jazz fusion" or something like that. The percussion is by Naná Vasconcelos, who is from Brazil.
This was actually a "hit" on the college radio station I used to listen to a lot in the 80s.
