While I agree with Jon that it probably isn't an Edgar composition, it must have been embellished during the 90's. The harpsichord preset is clearly from 1986, but the pads and strings sound like newer technology. I'd describe it as a lovely 80's song with a Goblins Club/Oasis-esque paint job. Not sure if anyone would agree, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
I bought the Dream Roots collection box set when it came out in the mid 1990s. I love Vanishing Blue as well, but I do remember thinking that this track has been added to and/or rerecorded much later - there's no way that what we are listening to is from 1986!! So I think what you've said above is quite right. The track may well have been composed back then, but otherwise it's another Green Desert
