Finally got round to listening to these today and tonight (6 Lps!)...Amazing music in it's purest earliest form with a sprinkling of up to date electronics...

Image
Got this one the other day and it's the second volume of the 5 volume series.Contains fabulous notes and rare music with an amazing tactile sound. Contains stuff by the likes of Luc Ferrai, Tod Dockstader, Morton Subotonick, Daphne Oram (former BBC Radiophonics operator),Alan R. Splet (David Lynch's sound guru and sadly not with us anymore - remember Eraserhead,The Elephant Man),Autechre (an unbelievable unreleased track from '91, at least 4 years before their debut Lp for Warp),Sun Ra (has to be heard to be believed!),Capt. Beefheart etc .....

Image
This is the first vinyl edition and still available in Tower. A little bit more serious early electronics and more difficult to digest;contains contributions from the likes of Pierre Schaeffer,Gordon Mumma,Konrad Boehmer (another unbelieveable 15 minute piece of raw electronics that again has to be heard),John Cage, Sonic Youth,Edgard Varese/Iannis Xenakis (featuring the two pieces that were heard at the Brussels Pavillion (see sleeve) in the Autumn of 1958.Incidentally Xenakis actually designed the Pavillion!,Pauline Oliveros (with a massive 31 minute piece featuring the Moog System) etc etc

Still the benchmark by which other so called ambient records should be judged!'It's a tremendously radical and rebellious record, because not only does it negate all your expectations of what music should and can do, it renders them irrelevant.'(NME '94)

Haven't listened to this in a long long time.
I must try to find it and have a listen later.

They actually played it in Tower a while back and everything else sounded totally irrelevant. An amazing document and one I was praying he'd do after hearing one of the Analogue Bubblebath remixes he did for the Trans Europe Express compilations -remember them? He didn't let me down :-))

Trance Europe Express:I remember having the first three still do i'd say.
Some of the best at the time.They really opened my mind to the different types
of Techno/ambient/trance out there.

Cybot,
Those booklets were a wealth of information and if I remember correctly the used
to have previous releases of the artists.I can't remember where i've put them it's been a long time.
I've just came across TEE3 and another one Trance Atlantic which features artist form America including the likes of
Plastikman and Joey Beltram.
