"OHM: the early gurus of electronic music. Met with critical acclaim, this award-winning box set celebrated the composers and inventors who led the electronic music revolution. Five years later due to continued demand from passionate aficionados (eBay sales at $150, etc.) we're now re-releasing the Special Edition OHM+ containing a bonus DVD w ith over two and a half hours of performances, interviews, and experimental video. Three CDs (42 original music tracks from 1948-1980) packaged in a deluxe fold-out digipak, slipcased with a 112-page book of notes and information about the contained material (texts by: Brian Eno, DJ Spooky, Otto Luening, Francois Bayle, David Toop, Robert Moog, etc.). Plus, unique to this new version: a Special Edition DVD -- Over two hours of rare performances, interviews, animations, and experimental video." Most works are in excerpted form (full versions of everything here would have required a much bigger set to say the least), but there are a number of exclusive, previously unreleased tracks as well (Richard Maxwell, MEV, Raymond Scott, La Monte Young, Maryanne Amacher & Jon Hassell). Crucial release for the beginner or the connoisseur, and everybody inbetween. Artists: Clara Rockmore, Olivier Messiaen, Pierre Schaeffer, John Cage, Herbert Eimert/Robert Beyer, Otto Luening, Hugh Le Caine, Louis and Bebe Barron, Oskar Sala, Edgard Varese, Richard Maxfield, Tod Dockstader, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Vladimir Ussachevsky, Milton Babbit, MEV, Raymond Scott, Steve Reich, Pauline Oliveros, Joji Yuasa, Morton Subotnick, David Tudor, Terry Riley, Holger Czukay, Luc Ferrari, Francois Bayle, Jean-Claude Risset, Iannis Xenakis, La Monte Young, Charles Dodge, Paul Lansky, Laurie Spiegel, Bernard Parmegiani, David Behrman, John Chowning, Maryanne Amacher, Robert Ashley, Alvin Curran, Alvin Lucier, Klaus Schulze, Jon Hassell, Brian Eno. The DVD is NTSC format, region free." [label info]
