Oh no, what was it!! I used to play it loads lying in bed in the dark whatever it was,and I always say now every time there's a thunderstorm I hear a jet aircraft go over and it reminds me of the track.

You know I must have it wrong, it can't be Focus at all - I just listened to Focus 3 again and it was something very different, very esoteric like the beginning of Caravaserai, that kind of vibe? And it was a double alsum - I was convinced Focus £ was a double, so it may have been something that had a similar colour cover or something stupid, sorry..........I can't even think what band it might be though!!! Yes, maybe, they had a double.......?

For some reason, as a young one listening to the LP for the first time, I thought that was about a guy running for a train, and then it crashes when he's on board......am I wrong?

No, defo not Floyd, I know every note on that album! Not, it was a much longer piece, several mins of nothing but an electronic thunderstorm. I can hear the melody that went with it, aaaaaaargh!!!!!!
