odd music times pieces

I always knew that Take Five is 5/8 times, therefore Take Five.
Money of Pink Floyd has 7/4 times.
Now I recently learned another two odd music times pieces which are Quintile 5/4 times and Septuor From Antares 7/4 times by Stan Kenton from the same album Adventures In Time(MASTERPIECE).
Anyone else can share knowledge?

Not to be argumentative, but "Take Five" is in 5/4, not 5/8. Don Ellis' Big Band was (is?) INSANE! Saw them live in '69.

I own the double LP set *Dave Brubeck/Adventures in Time* (Columbia G30625).  From the liner notes, here are the time figures from some of the tunes:  Unsquare Dance - 7/4; Castilian Drums - 5/4; Countdown - 10/4; Maori Blues - 6/4.  The music is interesting, but the sound quality of these '70s sides ain't the best.

6/4 is just like waltz -- nothing odd about 6/4. 10/4 must be pretty lunatic ;)

Celestial Terrestrial Commuters (Mclaughlin/Mahavishnu Orch)   is mostly in 19/8 with the occasional measure of 18/8 or 22/8.  Somehow very danceable.
