@[Infil:5182] The "time bell" refers to the fact that legally, British pubs have to stop serving liquor at a certain time, and the bartender rings a bell to signal that it's "last call for alcohol." However, it's not unusual for a performer in a pub to also announce that it's "time, gentlemen" (back when only men were allowed in pubs, of course, or at least had their own entrances and areas). I think the man doing the talking here is the band leader. |

@[jpjames:4753] No, the music isn't played backwards. Try this: "Musically, the song takes its instrumentation from an altered backing track of "A Sort of Homecoming". "
The phrase "backing track" doesn't mean "track played backwards," does it? |
