Description: This is a very nice copy of a great, seminal record of the American avant-garde created by the Sonic Arts union, a collective of electronic composers based in New York.
Additional Info: No need to drool on and on about this one, as it's simply one of the most essential avant-garde records issued in the US, and a pivotal document of an especially fertile period for electronic and experimental music. Though each of the four pieces here are very different, all have something unique and fascinating about them, and most people are floored the first time they hear this album. Best of all, this is an excellent copy of this much sought-after item that only the most stringently anal-retentive collector would ever feel the need to upgrade. (You know the type... curating for a never-to-exist museum that one day all their imaginary friends will visit...) Miss this one at your own peril!
