I never paid much attention to the individual titles but the part with the ‘spidery’ sounding mellotron part - “ I can see the lemmings coming, but I know I’m just a man ...”

I'm not sure about which parts are which, but mostly it is the theme with which the song starts, so I guess it's Eyewitness.

Needless to say, I love it all, but I've always particularly loved Eyewitness, Custard's, and Clot.

I'll go the later this time.

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

The Clot Thickens is easily one of my favourite freakouts in prog, so I'll go with that

Hard to say, really. Maybe I’ll vote for (Custard’s) The Last Stand, later I might change my mind.

Oh, my.  We are getting granular, aren't we.  Actually, this one is really easy and I knew what my answer would be even before the question was asked.  After all the chaos, dissonance, extreme changes in volume that preceded it, the consonant & magisterial We Go Now makes the entire thing work.  If this exercise was done (was it?) for Nine Feet Underground, I'd go with 100% Proof for exactly the same reason.  Both are perfect endings for outstanding and complex work.

It's been years since I even tried to remember which section goes with which subtitle...luckily I found the lyrics online with the section titles included Wink

There's something I love about every section, but the favorite is a toss up between S.H.M. (the section that begins with, "Unreal, unreal ghost helmsmen scream and fall in through the sky") and Presence of the Night (the section that ends with, "Maelstrom of my memory is a vampire and it feeds on me, now staggering madly over the brink I fall".) 

Went with S.H.M.

I love this entire piece of music, but I might enjoy The Clot Thickens the most.
