That very well could be.
I just found the Rosegarden file in which I put a quantized version of the
piano part for the whole song, and that's what we studied and discovered that
it basically can be divided into common time.

Great!
I take advantage of this topic to (auto-)advertise the Drummer's
"Gigsaw": polymetric possibilities will be integrated in next whole
update. Many thanks to Lilypond again.
It took me ten minutes to make up the joined midi file. (And an half an
hour to play around)
Like an illustration of what you said above:
Kick-hihat is in 4/4 and clave-woodblock in 7/8, 6/8, 5/8 and 4/8.
By the way i'm looking for a way to randomize 'note On' beetween two
values. I want to process that from a midicomp ascii file.
I haven't success with my search. (It seems to me Bash don't fit the bill.)
Thanks for any ideas.

To drift
even farther off topic: I've noticed that people who do not have
formal music schooling tend towards chromaticism, and make it work in
interesting ways. Speaking of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett didn't have any music
schooling, and "Interstellar Overdrive" is highly chromatic. As are a lot of
Radiohead songs-- no music school for Thom Yorke (Jonny Greenwood was the
only member who had music training). I was stunned some years ago to find
out that the progression of the verses of "Morning Bell" was A Also, a
friend and I learned "Pyramid Song" years ago, charted it out, and
discovered it's actually in 4/4: the phrases are highly syncopated but they
add up to 8 (IIRC) bars of 4.
That's interesting - I Ran that song through Sonic Visualiser last year -
and to me it seems as if the percussion is in 4/4 but the piano part repeats
mostly over 22/8 (11/4) but sometimes 10/4... When I broke down the part
into separate phrases I got 7/8, 6/8, 5/8, 4/8. I placed the output of Sonic
Visualiser on a grid which seemed to match perfectly and given the name I am
inclined to think that this is what is going on. It's a very interesting and
contentious song and I could very well be wrong - but that is my theory
