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.

Dusty Springfield "Some Of Your Lovin" released on 7" in 1965 on Philips Records the B Side is "I'll Love You For A While"

I like a lot of Math Rock of course, they do not exist as a band anymore but I always liked very much June of 44.

June of 44 "Equators To Bi-Polar" from the album "Anahata" released in 1999 on Quarterstick Records, the below features some excellent trumpet toward the end.



June of 44 "Wear Two Eyes (Boom)" from the same above album, the below also features some excellent trumpet.

More Math Rock, Slint one the most wonderful bands ever only released two albums "Tweez" in 1989 on Jennifer Hartman Records (later reissued in 1993 on Touch and Go Records) and "Spiderland" in 1991, their final album features some exceptional angular melodies, atypical rhythmic structures and dissonant chords the best single example of is "Good Morning, Captain" which is the final track on Side Two of the album.
