Oh look - a Stonehenge cover I'd not seen before!
Presumably a pre-Photoshop 'cut-up' to make the stones into the shape of an A.

I don't think it's directly related to the music, other than being a sundial, but does anyone know where the large stone sundial shown on the clifftop in the video is?

BARADELAN "lange vor dalem" the music is based 'on field recordings made at megalithic buildings and places throughout Northern Germany, such as Gromlechs, inside graves chambers, hills etc.'.
I like everything from baradelan, but this album is particularly beautiful.

Stampeders - From the Fire
Some obscure vinyl I picked up in my favourite Oxfam shop, which caught my interest due to some song titles, and for being stamped ex-property of US radio WNPC - very exotic for these parts. That turns out to be an AM country station from Newport, Tennessee.
The Stampeders are a Canadian rock trio and the album is a very listenable bit of 70s psychy/country rock.

The Alphabet Business Convention

Salisbury Arts Centre
£20, £15 students and benefit claimants
The Alphabet Business Convention is a musical extravaganza that celebrates the legendary cult musician, composer and producer Tim Smith. Formed in the late seventies, his iconic band, Cardiacs, were a thrilling combination of post-punk rock and psychedelic pop. The convention is a gathering of affectionate friends and ex-Cardiacs band members performing in their own right.
All across the Doggerland
All across before the tides
Across with boar and elk and wolves
Take the high lands near and wide
Strike with rock and flint and
bone, follow trail and hoof.
Onwards to another place, a place to raise a roof.
And these four walls to shelter
us upon this blessed plot:
This earth, this realm, this England
- island, alone, aloof.

Thanks Jackdaw and Boeddel. Fans of kind of chillout techno, that the creators call Psybient / Ambient / Psychill / Chillout (!) should like the Ancient Realms series of mixes, named evocavely Yggdrasil, Persepolis, Nazca, Inca, Angkor Wat and suchlike. The one below is named after the 'lost empire' of the Mitanni which I confess not to have heard of previously, but 'hardly more than a name and a handful of archaeological and linguistic hypotheses' according to Livius. (see how educational this is )
So - a question - which stones are these in the rather amazing photo below (and as a supplementary - whose photo have they appropriated) - it looks possibly like a Scandinavian ship burial but I don't recognise it:
"Dun Ringill"
References to stone circles in the song.
Wiki:
Dun Ringill today is a stacked stone ruin overlooking Loch Slapin. The present structure is approximately 4 meters in height and 16 meters on each side with a ditch following the outer wall. Its most notable feature is the central landward facing doorway approximately 1.8 meters high that leads into the center of the structure. The interior of the structure contained two rectangular buildings 4.5 meters by 2.4 meters.] The original layout was similar to that of a broch, a form of complex Atlantic roundhouse.
