Curiously, since writing this Finnissy's hair has fallen out.

@23BET23 Me too!

@CatholicRoyalist I'm sorry, but I really don't think this kind of music has anything to do with communism. They didn't even tolerate Shostakovich for crying out loud!

@annadod That must have been amazing!

Michael Finnissy taught me composition. Listening to this makes me realise how lucky I was to have learnt from him. Incredible.

@CatholicRoyalist  I fucking concur

[CatholicRoyalist]

This doesn't evoke anything but a dark, muddy vision of dirt washed upon an ill-cared-for beach. It is an indication of the communist infiltration into the arts that such an institution as the L.P.O. would even consider playing this. I beg everyone to stop purchasing this mind-breaking rubbish.
