Ayako Shinozaki
Music Now For HarpDenon/We Want Sounds (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
A bold new frontier for use of the harp in experimental music – and that's saying a lot, given that Ayako Shinozaki recorded this album during the generation of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby! Shinokazi takes the instrument a bit back towards its use in more serious music, but with ... LP, Vinyl record album
Pauline Oliveros
WandererImportant Records, 1984. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$28.99
30.99
One of the most lovely albums ever recorded by Pauline Oliveros – the kind of standard-setting set that immediately helped distinguish her as one of the most inventive voices of all time on her instrument! And yes, that instrument is the accordion – but in the hands of Oliveros, it's ... LP, Vinyl record album

Musique Concrete 1956 to 1962Fremeaux & Associates (France), Late 50s/Early 60s. New Copy 2CD
CD...$20.99
29.99
The birth of a key moment in avant garde music – served up here in a series of recordings that are nicely different than some of the other musique concrete material on the market! The package brings together some early "panorama" presentations of the work – two from the Club ... CD
Steve Birchall
Reality Gates – Electronic MeditationsOvation/Soave (Italy), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$35.99
37.99
A wild set of electronic work from the American heartland of the 70s – a set that claims to bring you to a "higher stage of truth" – but which has a sound that's a lot more bracing at times than more meditative electronic and new age albums from the decade! Steve Birchall ... LP, Vinyl record album
Rhythm Productions, 1955. New Copy
CD...$14.99
16.99
Very early work from Ruth White – a set that's very different than her late 60s electronic experiments, yet one that also still manages to have a similarly sort of creepy vibe overall! The work is exactly what's promised in the title – a set of 24 lullabies, sung in different languages ... CD
Ruth White
Short CircuitsAngel/Rhythm Productions, Late 60s. New Copy
CD...$14.99
16.99
Beautifully crazy moog material from Ruth White – an artist who could sit on both sides of the moogy fence – approaching the instrument with a bit less of the pop styles of her contemporaries, but in ways that are still plenty darn compelling over the years! Most of the work here is of ... CD
Cold Spring (UK), 1971. New Copy
CD...$15.99
17.99
Very noisy work from the Soviet scene of the 70s – modern music experiments on the ANS synthesizer, which was one of the darker forces in electronic music at the time! The set really showcases the new wave of avant inspiration that was brewing up after so many years of Soviet-promoted more ... CD
Julius Eastman
FemenineFrozen Reeds, 1974. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
LP...$42.99
46.99
A fantastic piece of minimalist magic from Julius Eastman – a lesser-known composer of the 70s, but one we'd rank right up there with Steve Reich, given the beauty of this work! The CD features one long piece – "Femenine" – which builds slowly out of small passages of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Kristen Roos
Universal Synthesizer Interface Vol 2We Are Busy Bodies (Canada), 2023. New Copy 2LP
LP...$35.99
37.99
Spare, minimal sounds served up on a contemporary recording – but one that's inspired by early Midi references from the 80s – which are used here to set the pacing, but warmed up a lot more than they might have sounded back in the day! The music has a rhythmic, almost organic pulse ... LP, Vinyl record album
Pierre Henry
Pierre Henry Collector (with bonus tracks)Universal (France), 2010s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
LP...$29.99
32.99
A mindblowing journey in sound – a dip into the archives of French composer Pierre Henry – the postwar master of electronics and musique concrete, and an artist who was still very active in the final years of his life! The material here was all either recorded or reworked in Henry's ... LP, Vinyl record album

La Monte Young/
31 VII 69 10:26 to 10:49 PM/Edition X/Superior Viaduct, 1969. New Copy (reissue)
Some of the most haunting music we've ever heard from spiritual minimalist La Monte Young – a set that was issued on his own small label at the end of the 60s, as a series of duets with his wife, Marian Zazeela – who's a heck of a creative force on the album! The set's got plenty of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Tiziano Popoli
Sull'Accordo MimeticoSoave (Italy), Late 80s. New Copy
LP...$24.99
34.99
A sublime creation that was originally created for a sound installation on a street in Italy during a late 80s festival – music that seeks to draw out the noise of the street, and replace it with a warmer, more sensitive progression of music! Tiziano Popoli uses a range of Korg and Yamaha ... LP, Vinyl record album
David Cunningham
Grey ScalePiano/Superior Viaduct, 1976. New Copy (reissue)
One of the most unusual albums from the 70s minimalist scene – a set that features different tracks with cyclical passages of instruments layered over one another – but with a vibe that's sometimes a bit more chaotic than similar work by artists like Terry Riley or Steve Reich! That ... LP, Vinyl record album
Soul Jazz (UK), 1960s/1970s/1980s. New Copy
CD...$21.99
22.99
A deep look at the electronic music underground in the 60s, 70s, and 80s – not the academic theoreticians who were slaving away in university laboratories, but the more independent, freewheeling talents who were using the initial analogue moment to open up their own boundaries in time and ... CD
Erik Hall
Canto Ostinato – Simeon Ten HoltWestern Vinyl, 2023. New Copy
Erik Hall gave us an amazing reworking of a piece by Steve Reich on a previous record – and here, he does maybe an even more incredible job on the long "Canto Ostinato" composition by Simeon Ten Holt! The original work was originally penned for four pianos – in a 70s ... LP, Vinyl record album
Honest Jons (UK), 1953. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)
LP...$18.99
24.99
Gentle genius from the legendary Moondog – a rare album recorded right around the same time as his mindblowing work for Prestige! The style here is very similar to those Prestige albums – very spare and rhythmic – often just using simple acoustic percussion alongside an ... LP, Vinyl record album
Honest Jons (UK), 1955. New Copy (pic cover, reissue)
LP...$18.99
24.99
An extremely rare slice of early work by Moondog – recorded right around the time of his early albums for Prestige! This 4 track ep features short tunes recorded by Moondog in his hauntingly spare style of the time – using earthy percussion to set the pace of the tracks, and also ... LP, Vinyl record album

El (UK), 1950s/Early 60s. New Copy 4CD
CD...$14.99
30.99
A really great idea for a collection – one that brings together postwar modern music in all of its many formats – from avant jazz, to early electronics, to Indian music, 20th Century classical, and even a bit of straighter jazz moments too! The package is very ear-opening – as it ... CD
Joanna Brouk
Hearing MusicNumero, Early 80s. New Copy 2 CDs
CD...$13.99
17.98
Beautiful sounds from Joanna Brouk – an artist who was sometimes lost amidst the new age scene of the 80s, but one who's got a much deeper, more intellectual approach overall! True, Brouk's music does have a certain meditative spirit – but she also was a student of Terry Riley and ... CD

A fantastic record – and a really mindblowing mix of spiritual jazz and electronics! The set is an amazing collaboration between trumpeter Don Cherry and pioneering electronic musician Jon Appleton – one of those rare meetings of the minds that goes far deeper than you'd expect! On ... LP, Vinyl record album
Salvatore Martirano
L's GaPolydor, Early 70s. Very Good Gatefold
A wild record! The album features extended works by Salvatore Martirano – tripped out avant classical pieces with a hippy dippy approach! L's Ga takes up all of side one – and it's an extended bit of noise that includes some great tape trickery. Side two features works played by more ... LP, Vinyl record album

Nonesuch, Late 60s. Very Good
Lots of nice early computer music stuff, realized in the computer centers of Princeton and Columbia, by J.K. Randall, Barry Vercoe, and Charles Dodge.

Conlon Nancarrow
Complete Studies For Player Piano – Vol 3Arch, 1984. Near Mint-
Amazing stuff! This is one of the now out-of-print series by Arch that compiled all of Conlon Nancarrow's fantastic music for player piano. If you don't know this stuff, it's music that Nancarrow scored by punching holes in rolls of paper, so that the player piano could "play" the ... LP, Vinyl record album
