Too Clever by Eight and a Half

Alternative Title: You Crunched Those Numbers, Finish What's In Your Mouth
The conceptual hook for this one is that each instrument uses 16 phrases of different length (Phrase 1 = 1 16th note, Phrase 2 = 2 16th notes, etc). This adds up to eight and a half bars of 4/4 (or two groups of 4 + 4 + 4 + 5). I scramble the phrases throughout the song. Does the song rise above the conceptual wankery? You decide!
