That's not right - loads of them do;
stud is 3/4
five is 5/4
drane and cichli are 10/4
characi is 9/4
and those are just the ones of the top of my head

Actually, can anyone help me out on slip, pule or 777 - still haven't
worked those ones out, and when you do sometimes the track makes a lot
more sense.

Other wierd time signitures you might want to check out;
squarepusher - my sound 6/4
bola - forcasa3 3/4
amon tobin - bridge 5/4
loads of black dog
almost all the tracks on the stereolab dots & loops lp

Dan Shoebridge.

np:  music is rotted one note - I have no idea of the time signatures in
lots of this.  Loads of complex jazz structures no doubt.
