"The Unmerry-Go-Round” was recorded in the summer of 1984 and mixed later in December after IOU completed their third U.S. tour with original members Gary Husband and Paul Williams and bassist Gary Willis replacing Jimmy Johnson. The same rhythm section recorded on the studio version of this fifteen minute instrumental, which features an extended drum solo by Gary Husband. Allan's long-time friend, keyboardist Allan Pasqua, who more recently recorded and toured with Santana and Bob Dylan among others, played keyboards on "The Unmerry-Go-Round." Holdsworth and Pasqua, once members of Tony Williams New Lifetime, hope to work together again in the future. | "The Unmerry-Go-Round” was recorded in the summer of 1984 and mixed later in December after IOU completed their third U.S. tour with original members Gary Husband and Paul Williams and bassist Gary Willis replacing Jimmy Johnson.

Som returns to the preservation chamber, knowing that the most important adventure of his life lies before him. When Som recovers from the preservation chamber nearly half a Millennium after he left Earth, he can barely restrain his enthusiasm. He studies the planet from afar, noticing how different she appears on the computer scanning screens. As Som approaches in his landing shuttle, he waits with sadness, fear, and excitement: "I feel like the immigrants of ancient times," he thinks, "when they first saw the shore of a new continent." | Som returns to the preservation chamber, knowing that the most important adventure of his life lies before him.
