I understand perfectly well what they were trying to achieve at the time. I just don't think they did it very well. Its a long, meandering boring piece of music that should have been given the chop or at least cut down to a more listenable 5 minutes or so. Really it would have been best if theyd made a song out of that riff and forgot about the improvisation which, yes, is what they started as but that doesnt make it anymore listenable or enjoyable for me at least.
