"Mother Whale Eyeless" by Brian Eno

from Taking Tiger MOuntain by Strategy

all these early eno lps where he does actual songs are getting to me, there's so much going on and just as you think you know whats gonna happen it turns another corner, anyway the whole lp is stuck to the turntable but this track is the one for me at the moment cos its got girls singing on it

"Tihar Bayatin" by Tartit

from Festival in the Desert

its the hyperventilating sound of the vocals, the wheezing joined with the handclaps, therhythms they pick out are unbelievable, pure joyouness and exhausting! dont try this at home!

"Bravura in the Face of Grief" by Michael Nyman

from The Draughtsman's Contract

Its a long track but it grabs, looping strings andi even like the harpsichord, one of those records i keep coming back to and playing even louder each time
