One thing along these lines which I think is genius is a track like "Ire"
from Imminent Starvation's Nord cd. It doesn't stray from 4/4 time and the
rhythm part cycles in standard 32 bar phrases, but the melody cylces in
something wierd like 10 bar or 15 bar phrases, so when you land on the "one"
of the melody, you're midway through some rhytmic figure, and when your kick
drum finds "one," the melody isn't finished and the whole thing has to
continue until both of the things land on "one" at the same time either
naturally or by adding or subtracting some part of that melody or rhythm
part.
Oliver Moreau is genius.
