Colors of Tyme

about

An altered-dominant droning signals the entrance of the last track, with rhythmic splashes echoed by the lush harmonic backdrop from Frank and Mike. Dave provides pedal point as Rickie begins a driven free-form funk groove suggesting multiple time signatures. Mike provides an ethereal melody above the explosive colors of the un-dampened tones. A keyboard solo emerges out of the texture, dancing in and out of pulses and harmonic centers, gelling for a while in a harder groove before flowing into a melodic guitar solo from Mike, with Dave playing a more aggressive funk line below. There is more flirting with conventional time, but syncopated rhythms quickly interrupt the four-pulse pattern. A cymbal roll signals a rhythmic cue from the keyboard, which leads to a final kick.
