What I call "virtual non-linear" is the polyrythms AE develop that
are not
reduced only to playing 3/4 over 4/4 or stuff like that. One good
example
it track 5 "Iera". Listen to time 3.47. The section that starts there
combines different tempos and time signatures within the same bar
or group
of bars. Sounds like they had combined completely different tracks
into
one groovy fluid musical unit.
The passage you're referring to is actually not that complex.
There are two parts, or two bars if you wish.
The first one is a very straightforward 4/4 at 112.
The second one uses exactly the same tempo -- only, the reference
value is doubled. So it's like a 2/2 at 56. Same tempo.
The only "tricky" thing is that the last beat of this second bar is
somewhat elongated. It is "organically stretched" -- not quite enough
to get a 5th quarter note.
That's how I perceive it, anyway.
So, I don't hear any superimposition of time signatures or tempos.
