John Lennon - Unfinished Music #2 - Life With The LionsReleased: May 9th, 1969 This album is a major improvement compared to Two Virgins. There is even the use of real music instruments and there's singing! 01 Cambridge 1969Yoko is exploring the possibilities of her voice, while John is trying to figure out how distortion works on his guitar. Yoko is trying to imitate a dying wulf, a kicked dog and a howling cat. There's moments when John and Yoko are almost in tune accidentally! Pure magic. The song is 26 minutes which is a bit short to expect more accidents like that. 02 No Bed For Beatle JohnYoko is surprising her fans with an à capella song in a Gregorian style. The story is about John giving his hospitalbed to an emergency case when he was there to be with Yoko who had problems with her pregnancy. Well, it's a song. A very bad one, but it's a song. 03 Baby's HeartbeatFive minutes of the sound of John and Yoko's unborn child's heartbeat. The fact that they lost their child due to a miscarriage doesn't make it an enjoyable thing. I'm glad Yoko keeps her mouth shut. 04 Two Minutes SilenceBest song on the album and it's not even an original idea. 05 Radio PlayJohn switching the radio on and off. The thing is a bit long, over twelve minutes. That's twelve minutes too long. All in all, a waste of production time and talent. And a waste of vinyl. Nevertheless, should you feel the need to know more of the album: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfinished_Music_No._2:_Life_with_the_LionsRating:

Of all Lennon`s Solo albums this is one I must have only played once ( circa 1979 again ) Enough said .

It occurred to me that "Two Minutes Silence" is "4:33" by John Cage, except taking the second endings.
