This is the longest track on the album and still considerably short by the usual standards of "Kool & The Gang" and as it is entirely instrumental I have no lyrics for it.
However despite it's being the longest track on the LP I still get the impression that it could easily be longer and may in fact be "Kool & The Gang's" first back to back track.
What this phrase means is that this track along with one or more others were originally created as one incredibly long track and then major editing has resulted in the one long track been made into several smaller ones (another part to this is track "Sea Of Tranquility" and there are undoubtedly others if it is indeed a back to back track) the only definite example I know of this is "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)" a track that "Kool & The Gang" covered and then extended by continuing two parts of "Blowin' With The Wind" from it and possibly more as well.
I'm not quite sure about that second percussion I put in the instrumentation list and also this could be a 7" EP rather then a 12" LP track but this is currently considered unlikely.
This track forms the second jazz template of the album it is one of only two on the album that have this template ( the other being "Sea Of Tranquility").
