An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like). 

Stanley Kubrick's movie 'A Clockwork Orange' is listed as a1971 film release. Which is confusing because while the film premiered in New York City on 19 December 1971, it was not released in the UK until 13 January 1972. So, by my reckoning, I wouldn't have seen it at the cinema until February. 50 years on and the dystopian tale that used a soundtrack of Ludwig Van Beethoven played on a moog synthesizer by 'Switched-On-Bach' creator Walter (but now Wendy*) Carlos, sounds as weirdly remarkable as ever. 

Certain restrictions on showing the movie may have resulted in videos not remaining on YouTube for terribly long. I hope this stays long enough for you to enjoy the film's irony of 'Ode to Joy'.

Warning: Video contains disturbing (if distorted) scenes and images
