what's stuck in my head

I'd recommend listening to this with headphones; just don't turn it up too high during the quiet section.  The video itself is static, so you don't need to watch it as it plays.

I'm not sure that i can explain why i like this track so much without going full-on nerd.  The odd time signature, the layering of elements, the use of dissonance to create tension, the seemingly incidental noises leading up to the shape of the song's climax... honestly, i'd love to hear this scored for a symphonic orchestra.  It's nothing less than a showcase for John Stanier's brilliant percussion without being anything as vulgar as a prolonged drum solo.

I can understand why you like this piece... it is very interesting in all the ways you indicated. It lends itself very well to the instrumentation (both acoustic and electronic) used here, but yes, I agree that hearing a symphony orchestra perform a well-scored version of this would be very powerful!

The vocals at the end reminded me a lot of This Mortal Coil, which I like! Thx for sharing.

nice catch...

Not sure it is my cup of tea, but interesting.

Holy shit! That's right up my alley! Never heard of 'em, but I'm gonna swim for a while and see if they can hold my interest.
