Yeah, it is another one that is used a lot by HW.  Same basic chord
progression (if you forgive the odd minor, rather than major, chord here
and there, and the key in which it is set) is also in 7 By 7 and Lord of
Light.   It's not as prevalent as the "Magnu" chord progression, but IMHO
this is one of the things about HW that I most enjoy....the re-use of a
familiar riff in a completely different way, to create something new and
different.
