I just listened to the sample on itunes, and to me it sounds like 4/4 but with a LOT of weird syncopation.
I'm just about to head out the door, but i'll give it another listen, probably download it to figure it out because it sounds awesome.

First I heard...
one and two THREE FOURRRR one and two three
and I thought it was in 7 or switching between 3 and 4 like Nico Muhly's arrangements of Glass's "The Hours" soundtrack especially like in "Morning Passages"
THEN I was listening to the microbeat and thought it was in 4/4 with weird syncopation like the above poster said
THEN I kept pondering it and found myself with the same reason you posted this entry

p.s. the horizontal sheet music on the piano in the youtube video sure as hell doesnt give any hints either

guhh I LOVE THAT VIDEO. i really want to be able to play that song. i wonder if he has an arrangement for it for 2 pianos or something, orrrr if he expects the performer to play along to a recording of the other part with the sampled percussion stuff... god i am wayyy to obsessed with his music. he's just so damn good though!!!!!!!! methinks he's the mozart of our generation. such a vunderchild.
