From Bob James' album "One", this is "Valley of The Shadows". This tune is incredible. It is very much a fusion number and has echoes of the same kind of spacey, psychedelic jazz of the same era in the early 1970s that was being played by Miles Davis and Weather Report. This tune is crazy! Almost like something that Miles recorded on "Bitches Brew" in terms of it's intensity. It morphs from swirling psychedelic cacophony, into strains of Martin Luther's epic hymn "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God", at least briefly towards the end of the tune, as something jam bands like to call a "tease". But, don't ask me where the album artwork came from. That is bizarre.
