I'm loving this series.

A question about the "Disease" modulations, though. Isn't the song and initial jam really in A Mixolydian, which makes the jump to G maj less jarring? In the 9/6 "Disease," it almost seems like they go from A Mixolydian to A Minor for a few bars before shifting that to C Major for about 20 seconds before landing in G.
I believe you're right about that. The MOD flat-VII move isn't totally jarring anyway, just (maybe) in relation to the others, which are just slightly closer moves. And yes: that A mixo > min > C maj > G pathway is one clear way to go.
