Improvisation ... CD Artis/Cramps (Italy), 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A well-titled album from the legendary Derek Bailey – definitely a set that lives up to his tremendous reputation over the years!

Columbia/Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $16.99 19.99
One of those landmark meetings of mighty talents that sounds even better on record than it does on paper – as the set somehow finds this really special space that's completely between all the best early 70s modes of both Terry Riley and John Cale! Cale was really coming into his own at the ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more CD

There'll Be No Tears Tonight ... CD Parachute/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1980. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 15.99

Alvin Curran —
Songs & Views Of The Magnetic Garden ... CD Catalyst, 1993. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Beautiful early solo work from Alvin Curran – a set that's much more cerebral than his sounds with MEV, but which also has maybe a more personal vibe than some of his later works! There's a very organic approach to the music here – as Curran mixes source recordings with bits of voice, ... read more CD

Hat Now (Switzerland), 1991. Used ... $14.99
Morton Feldman pays great tribute to Samuel Beckett here – with music full of dark shadows and lonely shapes, almost a perfect soundtrack for any of Beckett's works on stage! The instrumentation here is all a bit muted – played by the Ensemble Modern, but not credited individually ... read more CD

Hat Now (Switzerland), 1990. Used ... $9.99
The first-ever recording of Morton Feldman's Neither – billed as an "opera", but unlike anything you're likely to hear at the Met! Instead, the piece has a depth and darkness that rivals most of Feldman's key compositions – full of sonic textures and offbeat tones, presented ... read more CD

Souvenirs ... CD Mississippi, Late 1970s/Early 1980s. New Copy ... $12.99 15.99
Very early work from this legendary Ethiopian musician – a very haunting blend of voice and piano, often recorded with a very echoey tone – in a style that's completely unique!

Amazing work from Philip Glass – his second great opera, and a long-overdue follow-up to Einstein On The Beach – a set of music that's every bit as great as that groundbreaking work, but maybe even with stronger, fuller execution overall! The piece looks at the early political years of ... read more CD

One of the most meditative albums ever recorded for the Folkways label – two side-long tracks from composer Craig Kupka, each of which has a dream-like, very hypnotic quality!
