Wasn't this piece made in collaboration with Blaine Reininger from Tuxedomoon? It has this characteristic atmosphere that is very 'reiningerian'.

Check out Dr. John Campbell on YouTube. 
He started off, like you, accepting that the Vax was probably safe, yet 3+ years later after following the evidence and knowing the science, he's found that excess deaths have increased more from the poison shot than any impact from the virus. 
Or continue to be lied to by MSM, and all the government agencies helping big pharma profit by selling the crap Vax.

The violin tone reminds me of the difference between Dave Swarbrick and Rick Sanders. I like the former, and not the latter. However, I do like Curved Air. There is something in this piece/arrangement that doesn't seem to meld contentedly.

This is, like it or not, the greatest prog album ever. Yes is the greatest prog band (close tie with Crimson and ELP and PFM). And for those of us who were in our teens when it was released, this is about as close to a religious and transcendent experience as folks could put on vinyl.

Hmmmm.  Good observation.  Identified similarly in Wikipedia's entry for Cult with No Name:

"The band's second album, Careful What You Wish For, was released a year later and included the instrumental track "You Know Me Better Than I Know Myself", which featured Tuxedomoon's Blaine L. Reininger on violin, ... "
