"Nucleus" - Alan Parson's Project - I Robot - 1977 - compare this piece to the PS5 Menu music! It's not 1-for-1, but the similarities are unmistakable!....and yes, yes, I chickened out of just putting it in the episode. Figured it wouldn't do to have our year-in-review episode taken off Spotify, right? Anyway, give this track til about the 01:30 mark and then the similarities to the PS5 track will just leap off the page to you - I promise!
