You're exactly right, Nacho. It is the same single remix that appeared in North America in 1973. Nothing "strange" about it.
With all due respect to Korg's opinion, I find the edits flow very smoothly and in a very natural way. The edits themselves were aided by very subtle (just a few frames) crossfading and corresponding volume levels were nicely matched. It easily gives the novice listener the impression that the "song" was deliberately conceived and performed this way. It has an intro, cooks along nicely, builds to a climax, then returns to the intro for the fadeout. It provided the blueprint for the single mixes of the "Ommadawn" single, "Sentinel", "Far Above The Clouds" and the TB 2003 "Introduction".
I am inclined to wonder just how others would have edited the piece for radioplay, given the limitations of 1973-era equipment. I cannot imagine a better calling card for MO's first excursion into radio.
