Speaking of the song swimming from "Waterworld" ... I noticed a variety of instruments...but which one was used in the middle of the song...when the song itself seems to stop, and this one instrument goes solo for a few seconds connecting the 2 halves of the song. It sounds like a deep deep pan flute or something...when you hear it, you think "underwater" ...anyone know? It's driving me nuts LOL

thanks
