Yeah, it segues into Strange Relationahip for the last couple minutes. It's a 51 minute track (though looped a bit, from what I understand of an earlier thread on the topic.)

afaik 10 mins are looped, so you hear that part twice. The version on Sab's Purple Rush is edited and looped, they split the Strange Relationship part into a seperate track.

Don't mind the loop at all. Have it on repeat anyway, could listen to it all day.

10 minutes in and I'm ready to turn it off when I hear a melody so I wait and wait (10 more minutes, lol) and there it is - the part with vocals that I remember. At about 30 minutes I stopped, and that's more than enough for me.

(I didn't actually time it.)
What?
