Interesting you mention this, I was listening to Tin There yesterday and wondered why UW chose to release this as a remix, when it really doesn't have
that much in common with the original PG. It could have easily stood as its own track, why lump it in with another? I kinda feel the same way about Dark & Long, there are many mixes out there and besides a few elements most mixes sound completely different than the original.

It's cool you mention the observation of our brain expecting the structure, specifically the 16 bars. One thing I've noticed is the "lazy" ride cymbal in Food a Ready. I call it that because it's not in perfect timing all the time with everything else in the mix. I like it, but because it's not "perfect" it jumps out at me. I'm not criticizing UW at all, I'm sure they did it on purpose and it gives the song a great, unique feel.
