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.

Krzysztof Penderecki "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima" composed in 1960 for 52 string instruments. Krzysztof Penderecki is one of Poland's greatest Contemporary Classical composers.

Here it says "Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima", which is incorrect, it's "Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima"

The composition is 8 minutes and 38 seconds in duration.

Rose Murphy "Busy Line" recorded in 1947 on 78 RPM and I'm sure released on His Master's Voice Records in UK and on RCA Victor records in the US. This song is just crazy.

Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band "Big Eyed Beans From Venus" from the 1972 album "Clear Spot" on Reprise Records.

I love Don Van Vliet, a genuine original. It's impossible to choose a favourite Beefheart song, but "Big Eyed Beans From Venus" is pretty special.

Absolutely. I was a big beefheart fan back in the day. Must have let it slip away. I'll be rectifying that shortly. Thanks!
