It was firstly appeared on the web because of 1993 Dead Can Dance bootleg album "The Golden Age" and mostly considered as a misattributed to Dead Can Dance.

According to tracklist it's called "Oceania" and the duration is about 20 minutes. Among with some other DCD tracks, such as Awakening, Ocean, and others, it is never released and appeared on various bootleg albums.
