Earlier I was listening to Béla Bartók "String Quartet No. 5", on the record player.
You Tube being amazing, they have all of Bartók's String Quartet's uploaded.
The painting in the background of course, this is Wassily Kandinsky's "Composition VIII" from 1923, Kandinsky's early Bauhaus period....I love Kandinsky, one of my favourite artists.
This is the Allegro from "String Quartet No. 5":
Then I listened to Imarhan, who are Tuareg from Algeria and are on City Slang Records which is owned and run by some friends of our's in Berlin:
City Slang Records
Imarhan
The whole Imarhan album is completely astonishing.
This is Imarhan's song "Tahabort" which is amazing, incredibly intricate guitar work and in general just extraordinary noise, they're on tour throughout Europa this month and also March, we must go and watch them do their thing:
Edited to add comment.
Adam & The Ants "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" released on 7" in 1980 on CBS Records, the B Side is "Press Darlings"...."Kings Of The Wild Frontier" is also the title track of their second album also released in 1980 on CBS Records.
Completely ridiculous clothing they wore of course, but a great song with Burundi Drumming. I chose Adam & The Ants because of the two Bow Wow Wow songs chosen earlier....David Barbarossa was a member of Adam & The Ants from 1977-1980, he then left them to join Bow Wow Wow in 1980, he doesn't appear on "Kings Of The Wild Frontier" but does appear on Adam & The Ants preceeding album, their first, "Dirk Wears White Sox" released in 1979 on Do It Records.
