I'm starting to enjoy the analyze-the-tone game, so here's my contribution
Favorite tune of mine, early 70's progressive stuff from Vangelis' first solo album. This is interesting to me because I go for a fairly clean modern tone and am just really starting to appreciate the bass tones of yore

The bassline is obviously very repetitive but it serves the song well. It only changes at 2:21 when he switches up the groove with a quarter-note figure that i think is just brilliant.
I'm really curious to break down the tone too - not that I'm trying to get it, but just for fun. I'm thinking P-Bass with a pick for starters and definitely some EQ in the high mids...
