OK, I totally misunderstood the original tone shifting discussion. Damn
me for skimming ;-)

So you're talking about perceptual reactions to repetition, eh?

Soft Machine, back in the day had a track where they repeated the same
one bar phrase for nearly 4 minutes-- they repeat the lyric 'We Did It Again'
for the whole song.  Many people who listened to this track actually heard
different lyrics and attempted to write them down.

That track is on the first Soft Machine record, which is TOTALLY off topic
here of course, but is a killer record nonetheless:

They also have a crucial minimalist track "The Soft Weed Factor" on their
album "Six" which is another classic bit of tone-shifting...
