z_tbd is right. The sessions for *Spirit of Eden* and especially *Laughing Stock* were insane. Darkness, lava lamps, lots of acid. Tens of musicians passed through the studio, were given no real idea what they were contributing to, and simply encouraged to improvise. The songs were pieced together by Hollis and Phill Brown over the course of months. It basically broke everyone involved.

when's the key change you mention?
2:28, and it's not even a key change, just a chord change from i to v, but it feels monumental. The Floyd get a lot of mileage in this piece switching back and forth between G natural minor (which scale includes E♭), and G dorian (where E is natural); they first introduce the latter in the four note guitar fanfare.
