Chance
An instrumental, the fourth track of Peace on Venus.
Bardo Pond, from Peace on Venus (2013)
It is track four, 10:37 by MusicBrainz's count of the reissue, and an instrumental. Michael Gibbons told The Quietus that it grew from a riff by John Gibbons; we found no writing credit, recording date, studio or personnel. PopMatters says it opens with acoustic guitar, notable on an otherwise plugged-in record, later covered by loud Crazy Horse-style guitars and a wistful flute part, so engaging that a listener might not notice the lack of vocals. The Fire Note calls it the album's standout, adding layers and intensity before drifting into feedback and fading into "Before the Moon". Setlist.fm's 178 setlists show no performance of it, and we found no chart, video, covers or samples. We could not read our upload, so we cannot confirm it is the album track.
