Wasn't part of that featured in Single Video Theory? It sounds very familiar to me.
It's Red Dot.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Yep. It's probably part of the original piece that was edited out for the album. Being a kind of improv track, the original was probably quite long.

Yeah, but it's different steel drums and chanting. It's not Red Dot. I think Jack plays a piece of it during a mini-montage in Single Video Theory.

If it's got steel drums and chanting I'm guessing it's the blueprint for red dot. That song is an abomination so I can't imagine they wrote it twice.

it's just an extended version that jack initially brought in to the band before they filed it down into filler form.

It's funny how non-songs like "Out Of My Mind", or "Moon" improv, or even "Red Dot" are better overall numbers than songs like "Low Light", or "Future Days", or "Just Breathe" :twisted:
