It's a work made by an artist from the fluxus movement...it's possibly J.Beuys invention

sorry guy...but I just don't remember the site...

A note for 'Tarkus': 6 / 10...great instrumental parts but songs are just too pop. I can't bear the voice and melodies of the singer.

Good to see people sticking up for side 2 of the album even if I personally had a go at it! I still think it comes across as 'filler' or a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's Parade'.Why couldn't they have done Tarkus Pt2 and put it on side 2 ?? The answer
