David Borden/Mother Mallard - "Part 6 " - Full Length = 14:22
A chattering, astringent rhythmic pattern on electric guitar is overlaid with a legato melody line and then a deep foghorn bass note. Guitar and sampled brass and tenor saxophone provide intricate counterpoint which weaves in and out of the mix. A restless, sometimes dramatic musical journey.

An lively opening marimba-like minimalist pattern is joined by a contrapuntal higher-register tuned percussive riff, to which are added a wordless vocal line and long, low ostinato motifs – all contributing to a pleasing, tuneful kaleidoscope of sound.
