As I've noticed a few Brazilians submitting reviews and posting in the forums, here's a really obscure quiz question:

Which track from a band considered one of the giants of Progressive Rock had an excerpt used as the musical intro to the TV evening news program of a major Brazilian TV network in the early 1970s? (Great choice of music!)

Very probably I´ll be wrong, but even so I'm posting the following just for curiosity sake:

The Brazilian TV Globo network - the world's fifth largest in terms of audience, with slightly more than half of the Brazilian audience - presents its TV evening news program "Jornal Nacional" since 1969 with the same opening theme, based on the composition “The Fuzz”, by Frank DeVol, nowadays on the 7th version.

The original version (1969) may be heard after download a WAV file, 122 KB, 55 seconds, stereo, from
http://www.novomilenio.inf.br/santos/lendas/h0173a5.wav

But I really think that DeVol´s Orchestra can not be considered "one of the giants of Progressive Rock"...

Is it Tom Sawyer by Rush?  I'd heard that was used on TV in Brazil.

Since we're talking early 70s, that can't be it.

It's Mammagamma (Alan Parsons)? It was played on "A Semana" (Fantástico)

It's about 7 months since I looked in the Trivia Game forum, so I'd forgotten about this one. Perhaps it's about time I gave the answer!

And the answer is... Summer '68 from PINK FLOYD's "Atom Heart Mother".

Listen to the refrain starting at 1:24 (also at 3:11) and that's the excerpt that was used. It was used for a while in the early 1970s as the intro to Rede Globo's Jornal Nacional. I *think* the part starting at 3:29 (also at 4:46) was also used. I can't remember precisely when they stopped using it, but it was definitely before 1975 and probably a year or so before that.

And, yes, I'm sure. I heard it every night, after all.

What a fantastic track, by the way.

In Santa Catarina's news (Jornal do Almoço), it was played "Spirit of the Radio" (Rush)... that's interesting!!

Ok, we´re all losers...
While we wait for the rigth answer, let me post one more curiosity about music in Brazilian TV:
In 1984, the TV Globo´s sunday nigth program Fantástico presented the Camerata Villa-Lobos with no more no less than 1001 acoustuc guitars being played simultaneously, conducted by Maestro Antonio Manzione, performing classical and brazilian "chorinho" musics, from Bach to Pixinguinha, from Mozart to Chopin...

Did you know that "Tom Sawyer" was used for the theme tune to McGyver on Brazilian TV?

 I see you made it recursive, Prog-Brazil. The forum equivalent of a Möbius strip?
