I think we added a few small things, improvised around it quite a bit, and of course tacked Radiohead onto the end of it, but most of that composition was Dan's. I think the first three sections (the intro riff,  the funky/swing section, and whole-tone scale walkup) were peices he'd written some years before, and I remember when he called me with the idea of the 11/4 section which was added later. The 15/4 section might have been a group composition, and then Radiohead for the last bit. Memory's hazy on all that though.

For me this could be side by side with other Jazz artists on shops,
and, things of life, here we have it in this corner of the internet.

Having a great time listening to it. Interesting that "psycho" segment
in the middle, some madness for our ears, and the Rhodes' bending like
a record player running out of battery.

And I also think drummer is really good and a driving force behind.
Good to know where to contact him, just in case.
