Etherclock – Ozric Tentacles

For me the highlight from 2006’s album The Floor’s Too Far Away is “Etherclock”, which opens trickily in 13/8 and includes syncopated, layered counterpoint and time signature shifts throughout.  The opening melody is played by an almost-indistinguishable doubling of synths and heavily processed guitar.  The drums are a little flat but the rhythmic complexity, unique melodic ideas, and driving dub section toward the end make for an interesting listen.
