I know a 909 still does it for me. :-) -0 wrote: > I read recently that some track on Chichli Suite is > in 12/8... So maybe it's a > 'leeedle' progress, who knows.

I'm sure I've got a 5/4 here somewhere - maybe on an old Laibach tape... I remember Hardfloor did a track on their Respect album (The Last Marshmallow Machine?) in triplets/12ths (ie, each of the 4 beats in the bar divided into threes instead of fours). You usually expect that in 50s/60s rock. But it gives the track a real moving/riding feel (great for car trips). I'll put some odd signature stuff on my site soonish. :-) -- Q-Force xxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx http://www.holon.net/qforce/
