Yes, the turtle song sounds fascinating and likely to be on the album. And on that "Here's the Thing" interview, Gord says his songwriting always starts with the chord progression and then the melody before adding lyrics. It amazes me that, unlike many of his contemporaries whose half-century of albums contain instrumental tracks without vocals, Gord has never released an instrumental track. The coming album is an excellent (and probably final) opportunity for him to record a type of track he hasn't done before. I'm sure his writing and the band's musicianship would justify its inclusion (and the absence of vocals).
