How about the AMM track (Disc 2, track 2)? They were an experimental/
improvisational jazz outfit, that made recordings as early as 1966...
Though the copyright is from 1994, that's *unlikely* the year the
piece originates from. Sounds very much like Barrett-era Floyd's early
experimentations to me, c. 1966-67, but I know I must be biased ;)
All in all: good scary headfuck stuff like the whole compilation, which at
last didn't sound like Virgin had put it together from Eno's, Laraaji's and
Budd's Sunday morning hangover surplus tapes :)
