Synopsis

Album Description
Long awaited fourth release in series of reissues of the eary works of the minimalist pioneer and revolutionary composer. These ground-breaking early works laid a foundation for his later masterpieces, 'In C' and 'Rainbow In Curved Air', and his work with tape manipulation, loops and drones is a direct precursor of much of late 20th century electronica, from Can to Steve Reich. Featuring Chet Baker. Standard jewel case.

Incredible Riley

(5 out of 5 stars)

"i've had the time to really dig into this cd and i am still amazed at these early experiments.Most of them are done from recordings made by a mid sixties Chet Baker (!) and his group. And Riley then starts messing around with these recordings sending Baker to a whole different plateau. There are other tracks which are equally interesting and more in the nature of later works. Overall, a one-of-a-kind experience.Recommended to searchers of original avant, recording experimentation and jazz."
