New work, and a 'pelog' tuning

I didn't want to crosspost, but I didn't get any feedback at MMM, so I'll mention it here.

I uploaded a few snippets of a major work-in-progress at MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/dannywier). They're the ones with French titles, but only the last one uses pitches outside of 12-et. There are references to 8-et and 9-et; in the latter case, a pelogish pentatonic scale in the trombones. Nothing there is hardcore microtonal.

Which leads me to a question: how's this for a pelogic heptatonic gamut in 72-edo?

{0, 9, 18, 32, 40, 49, 58, 72}

I derived this tuning from 41-tone, using a generator of a fifth lowered by a comma (23 commas, that is), going down one fifth and up five. Then I mapped this to 41-out-of-72-tone Miracle.
