There are a few things we can infer from this. Firstly, The Greatest Show On Earth is most likely the epic 25-minute long track, given the title and the fact that it has a whole side of an LP to itself. It is also likely to be the track that Richard Dawkins will speak on, as it bears the same name as Dawkins' book on evolution. Secondly, the exclusion of the tracks My Walden (likely named after Walden, the book about living in nature by Henry David Thoreau) and Edema Ruh (named after a nomadic group in Patrick Rothfuss' Kingkiller series of novels) from the orchestral CD implies that those tracks will not feature any orchestration.
