BACKGROUND
All three tracks have some loose connection with Western classical music/Indian classical music.
1). Hilarious song with gorgeous spoof operatic chorus. Haven't heard any ISB yet on late Junction. Can this be rectified?

2). Typically brilliant Beefheart with bit from Ravi Shankar in the middle.

3). Lovely off-the-wall take on Holst.
