From 4:27 to 5:30, I can hear Spirit of Carnival, composed by Mark Loquan/Chris Morris sung by Denyse Plummer (Panorama song 2007). Good video

Takes my breath away. It's awesome to see that such high class studios are still pushing themselves to be innovative. The band couldn't have had it any better!
