No, to me, the RubJon is somehow completely unique. All the timbres seem to
be of a pleasing color, the melodies are from somewhere else, and the
stop-start breaks are strange too. Are they Latin? I dunno.

And yes the snare rushes are beautifully orchestrated.

One should always be drunk. That's all that matters: that's our one 
imperative need. So as not to feel Time's horrible burden that breaks your 
shoulders and bows you down, you must get drunk without ceasing. But what 
with? With wine, with poetry, or with virtue, as you choose. But get drunk. 
And if, at some time, on the steps of a palace, in the green grass of a 
ditch, in the bleak solitude of your room, you are waking up when 
drunkeness has already abated, ask the wind, the wave, a star, the clock, 
all that which flees, all that which groans, all that which rolls, all that 
which sings, all that which speaks, ask them what time it is; and the wind, 
the wave, the star, the bird, the clock will reply: "It is time to get 
drunk! So that you may not be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk, get 
drunk, and never pause for rest! With wine, with poetry, or with vitrtue, 
as you choose!"
