I was assuming the OP was considering the instrumental section starting at 5:02 to be ragtime, even though it's really not, but I thought I was just "out of the loop"..lol. Anyhoo, I do like the 'tickle section' on LNF because it does kinda disrupt the flow at that point and I always liked the "holy crap...what was that?"..type of breaking the rules parts. That''s why, IMO, it's called progressive. Then once I get used it, it kinda fits perfect because there is nothing to compare to what coulda shoulda been there. I hope that makes sense.
