It starts with what sounds like a standard jazz pattern, and then it transforms into the 6/4 pattern that was shown in example 4.
The illustration on the CD cover is a drawing by M.C. Escher.

This Dutch designer left a work in which there are many optical illusions and distortions of perspective.
Peter Magadini - Polyrhythms LP
I was experimenting with similar concepts on my own, already at the end of the 70s. I thought I had heard this kind of ideas in David Garibaldi's playing, for example, although I later realized that his approach was a little different.
Then I found an LP by Peter Magadini called Polyrhythms, that I had seen advertised in Modern Drummer. The first song of the LP was called Doin' Time and a Half, and is an interesting approach to the same concept.
I still have the LP, but it seems there was a CD issue as well.
The same song is also available on the accompanying CD of one of Peter Magadini's drum books called Polyrhythms for the Drumset. I think the song has been renamed into Doin' Time in 4+6, which can make sense if you understand my article.
This song was co-written with Georges Duke, and it is nice to hear him play as well, especially if you like what he was doing around the time he left Frank Zappa's band.
