"The only main argument about the song is about how long each part is" ... Ok, but shouldn't other views on the timing be aknowledged ? I for one think that the Funky Dung part is *... well, the part with a funky rythm, called Mother Fore here. Xave 16:44, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

I had originally added the timings and did so according to the descriptions (see edit by 69.194.91.148). I did not take much time in finding the movements for myself and put in rough timings, so you may be right on that. I couldn't belive it when Aja-Oki took 7 consecutive edits to break timings down to centiseconds. I laughed for a good 7.68 seconds. --Cerpin Taxt 23:50, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Hmmmm, interesting new timings. Somebody else out there is obviously very bored as well. I agree with Xave above that "Funky Dung" is surely the bit with the "funky" rhythm and bass line. Working backwards from that, I figured that the previous section with the choir must be "Mother Fore". Continuing backwards, I'd say "Breast Milky" is the cello solo, as that is a 2nd theme, and "Father's Shout" is the first theme (the brass band tune).--MackORell 10:25, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Ok, that makes one "you may be right" and on "you're right". Does someone sees a problem if we switch the "main" and the alternate "timing" ? (with proper rewriting, of course.) Xave 16:11, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

No, I think that'd be OK, unless anybody else has got any better suggestions for where each section starts.--MackORell 05:20, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

A citation on the question of who (Ron Geesin, Alan Parsons, or Peter Bown) says the two bits of studio chatter would be valuable. This article seems to be the only web page that suggests a person, and a usenet search turns up only a controversy over whether it is Parsons or Geesin.

[edit] "It is also the only Pink Floyd song over 18 minutes long without lyrics."

The article says "It is also the only Pink Floyd song over 18 minutes long without lyrics.". Which is the one that is 18 minutes, and also is without lyrics? If there isn't one, why was 18 minutes chosen?

Well, the next longest instrumental they have is A Saucerful of Secrets, no? That one's 12 minutes. IceKeyHunter 07:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I modified it with a more convenient time: 15 minutes --200.118.217.125 23:18, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Parsons - Nick Mason

The spoken line - "silence in the studio!" i always thought was a nick mason line rather than alan parsons. Im not sure whether pink floyd had even met alan parsons at this time.
