There is something fishy about ATG and Somewhere in Time at large. The albums structure that was defined in Nassau did not end up on the album. The official story is that rhythm section was recorded in Nassau. However Harris said that the end product didn't meet the original aim, that songs came out as longer and "less of them". The Nassau album contained 9 songs, all around 5min mark. If you disregard ATG and cut intros from the some of rest, you can get 7 songs of about 5 min mark from Somewhere in Time. The Nassau album also contained an instrumental. So, how do we go from 5min instrumental + 5min of X = Alexander the Great? Harris says that he wrote ATG at the beginning of the "recording of the LP" in two weeks, which clearly does not correspond with the state of the album as of May 1986.
