Beck - Harry Partch

Good old Beck has released this new song, a ten minute long tribute to the avant-garde composer loved by Tom Waits and other musicians who like to bang on shit. Beck's jam uses Partch's "43 tone scale" and it sounds more adventurous and crazy than anything he's done since 1993.
