_The Waterfall_, from Eleven Intrusions.

Listen again! The adapted guitar (I think) plays clear just chords
(which the "waterfall" marimba arpeggios retrace). BTW, howabout
the change on "eager"!

The chromelodeon parts are usually the best for hearing the JI.
I like the 2-part harmony in the beginning of _Revelation_. Thanks,
Daniel, for the excerpt from _Ring Around the Moon_.
