The
album opens with an a cappella piece called "Peace – A Beginning". An
extended version of this piece, "Peace – A Theme", adds a middle eight
and is performed on an unaccompanied acoustic guitar. This track appears
at the beginning of side two, perhaps conceived as the mid-point of the
album, and a third version, "Peace – An End" appears at the conclusion
of the album. "Peace – An End" is to some extent a combination of the
other two versions, containing both vocals and acoustic guitar as well
as the middle eight, but the lyrics are entirely different from those of
"Peace – A Beginning".
The strongly jazz fusion-influenced "Pictures
of a City" was originally performed live, often extended to over ten
minutes and was called "A Man, a City". An example of such a performance
appears on the live compilation album Epitaph.
The ballad "Cadence and Cascade" is about two groupies.
The
longest track on the album is a chaotic instrumental piece called "The
Devil’s Triangle". This was adapted from the 1969 band's live
arrangement of Gustav Holst's "Mars: Bringer of War" (from his The
Planets suite), later released on Epitaph (where it is titled merely
"Mars"). "The Devil's Triangle" employs a different staccato riff than
the one from "Mars". In 1971, a brief excerpt from "The Devil’s
Triangle" was featured in "The Mind of Evil", the second serial of the
eighth season of the BBC television series Doctor Who. The track
includes part of the chorus from "The Court of the Crimson King", a
track from the band's first album, using a studio technique known as
xenochrony. Despite this, Ian McDonald, who composed "The Court of the
Crimson King", is not given co-writing credit on this segment of "The
Devil's Triangle", only on the opening section, "Merday Morn".
