I did point out that the track uses historical archive footage. I suppose
it is a backhanded compliment that you cannot discern any obvious edits
and it all sounds like one recording.

Maybe I could have called it "NO tempo" track but then someone else would
point out that the Jarre inspired soundscape meandering through the
background was obviously composed to a specific tempo so I would be
pissing them off instead.

There is just no way to please everyone on this list...
