Words For Nerds

I was listening to it yesterday, and was ging to try and work out what was going on, rhythmically speaking. (yeah, sure)

This is probably 100% off, but I kinda got 27/32...

Its not is it?

But if you follow the drum track its possible to count (in 7/4) to it I think.

After about 30 minutes, I changed the song in discust (at myself) and proceeded not to listen to it for the rest of the night.

Please ron, help me out, there's no transcriptions around is there?

That song clearly has several different time signatures, so which part are you looking at?

If you can count 7 with the drums, I would say it's in 7 not 27/32 or anything like that.

Just taking a quick listen, the beginning sounds like 7/8, then 4/4...and well....this would just require way more analysis than I have the time to do...

The song not only has different time signatures, but every tune has a different tempo. Keys are all over the place. As I remember, the whole song is an exercise in using multiple 12 tone sets.

Here's part 4, The Technician...
