Yep. They took some songs and bits of music from previous works and reworked them in order to arrange the two thematic suites known as "The Man" and "The Journey", with the addition of Behold The Temples Of Light which I believe was the only original piece of music.

thanx...

thought Man and the Journey was an abandoned album concept/demo?

Both parts of the piece happened to be about an album's length each, but they weren't properly recorded because most of the components had already been released in some for or another. This is what was played:

MORE FURIOUS MADNESS FROM THE MASSED GADGETS OF AUXIMENIES

PART ONE: THE MAN (representing a day in the life of a man)
Daybreak ("Grantchester Meadows")
Work (sawing and hammering of wood in a musical fashion)
Teatime (the band was served afternoon tea on stage at this point)
Afternoon ("Biding My Time")
Doing It! ("Grand Vizier's Garden Party, pt. 2: Entertainment")
Sleep (organ solo, some guitar and breathing sound effects)
Nightmare ("Cymbaline")
Daybreak (reprise)

PART TWO: THE JOURNEY (a quest)
The Beginning ("Green is the Colour")
Beset By Creatures of the Deep ("Careful with that Axe, Eugene")
The Narrow Way ("The Narrow Way, pt. 3")
The Pink Jungle ("Pow R Toc H")
The Labyrinths of Auximines ("Moonhead")
Behold the Temple of Light (instrumental, reminiscent of "The Nile Song")
The End of the Beginning ("A Saucerful of Secrets, pt. 4: Celestial Voices")

Nor turn the final page

I'm definitely going to have to check that album out now.

It's the floyd's best unofficial live recording from 1969 and the Dutch radio announcer aside it's incredible - well worth getting hold of!

I just acquired this album myself. There are some really nice arrangements on it.
