I believe it's a new recording of the song QS&C, played the way HW have
been playing it live since the last couple of years. You'll probably
get a much more detailed secription of this disc from someone else, if
not Bernhard. When I read the review, I chose not to buy it. I can;t
remember what it said, though.
You'll undoubtedly get lots of other HW recommendations to buy. These
are my favourites: In Search of Space, Space Ritual, Quark Strangeness
and Charm, Levitation, Warrior On the Edge of Time, Astounding Sounds
Amazing Music. All records are from before 1980, I believe.
More recently the BBC have released recordings from 1972 (a couple of
months before Space Ritual was recorded). I like that one very much,
but all songs are also on Space Ritual (which is a double CD, so it
might be more interesting to get a impression of HW).

I agree on all aspects.
