No, it isn't. Only the very start of the melody sounds vaguely like "Excalibur", the rest doesn't sound like it at all. That melody appears various other times in MotS (the first instance is a minor-key version at the start of "Animus") and it sounds very NewAge-ish/TresLunas-ish in MotS, while it sounds very Irish in "Excalibur". At least to me. And anyway, if we were really to count all the instances where Mike used a similar-sounding melody, we should at least include "Mont St. Michel" and the end of the "Boat" section of Amarok, from 28'31'' to 29'27''. Evidently this theme is hidden somewhere in the recesses of Mike's mind, and keeps popping up every now and then.
