The title track of WFC - kind of Brian Eno Ambient ripoff. Bought it because
it sounds so similar to ENO on the surface. But even one layer beneath
this surface (not even speaking of "depth") it's absolutely boring - very unlike
Eno. One lesson to learn, or better one thing to avoid: Did you notice that
every even numbered FX sound moves from left to right and every odd 
numbered from right to left ? I can't claim I've been keeping track over
all the 45 minutes, but you get the idea !
