GS: When we were looking to get "definitive" versions, we realized we wanted to do another one after this, because the composed sections in this verson were good but weren't "definitive". Meanwhile the improvised portion after the main body of the song was so good we thought about including it as an edit and calling it "Headless MIRV". When we abandoned the idea of trying to make a single ultimate version of anything and decided to include several if they were good enough, the composed section of this take suddenly appeared to be very good. We definitely prefer to use unedited takes, and there was time, so you get it all here.
HS: Greg's loop in this version lends a lot of forward motion to the head section-it seems to be pulling the drums ahead along with it. At about 8:15 the time changes to 11, but after a minute or so the piece transmutes into having no definite meter, which we stick with until the last 30 seconds or so.
