background
The first Simple Minds instrumental was this simple, short, splintered guitar riff. Obviously a quick idea executed fast, the track formed a useful bridge between the more familar territory of Factory and the experimental, obscure Veldt.

It appears on some early set-lists with the alternative title of Bells. It even kept this title after the album's official release e.g. it appears on the Tiffany's set-list of the 7th January 1980.
