Where is the Archades town theme? (FFXII)

On the FFXII OST.  I believe that Momentary Relief on Disc 3 is Old Archades, but I can't find the Archades town theme.  It's a more peaceful and catchy kind of rendition of the Empire theme that I like quite a bit.

The town themes in this game have surprised me.  They're really good.  BoFV had decent town themes but since they didn't measure up to the dungeon themes I started to think they might be a slight weak spot in Sakimoto's repetoire.  I'm glad to have been proven wrong with FFXII.

Edit: I have a psf2 file of it from Oddigy's old gamerip or whatever.  It's number 087.  Hopefully someone else has it so they'll know what I'm talking about if they don't recall the track from the game. (though it should be easy enough to recall since you have to hear it for a while as you try to acquire enough chops to ride the cab)

Ah, I figured it out.  It's part of the Theme of the Empire track.  Sort of like what Sakimoto had done with Apoplexy on the FFT OST, which was actually two seperate battle themes in the game.  It's confusing sometimes when you expect each track to be divided as they were in the game, regardless of whether or not they happen to share the same motif.
