Iām sure NCC will be aware of this artist - Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - an Aboriginal singer who was born blind, only speaks a few words of english, and sings in his native language. He used to be with Yothu Yindi, but released his critically acclaimed album 2 years ago, Gurrumul. Amazing voice, we haven;t a clue what heās saying of course.
A brilliant portrait of him won the Archibald prize a few years ago.

What are the parameters for this thread? Kraut and Post Rock obviously and the odd bit of Japanese noise core or Sun Ra. What about long forgotten classics from another era? Would the Associates be in this thread or smashing tunes? Or somebody like Jonathan Richman. Alternative or smashing tunes? A bit of guidance would be nice if itās not too much trouble.
A top tune from an Australian three piece, one of which is an electric violin. Warren Ellis, the violinist, is now a member of Nick Caveās Bad Seeds.
