Robert Wyatt on "Rock Bottom" (Part 1 of 6)

From an interview made in 2001, this is a series of edited excerpts that deal with the genesis and contents of Robert's masterpiece "Rock Bottom". In this first part, Robert talks about composing the music in Venice in the Winter of 1972/73, then on his hospital bed after his June 1973 accident, and how Alfie's gift of a cheap organ helped shape the album's unique soundworld.

What's the name of the song playing on the background?

[@aymericleroy8500]

It's actually several different things - instrumental sections from a couple of songs on "Dondestan" and the intro to "Strange Fruit" from "Nothing Can Stop Us".
