One of the very earliest and most important examples of electronic tape music to be pressed on to vinyl presented here for the first time since its the original release. TIP!!!

Packaged in rare facsimile artwork by Folkways designer Ronald Clyne Cacophonic bring you one of the earliest/most important examples of electronic tape music to ever be pressed on vinyl. A 1952 concert at New York’s Museum Of Modern Art from the melodic tape-music pioneers that went on to found the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center and teach Ilhan Mimaroglu, Wendy Carlos and Dariush Dolat Shahi (amongst others). Rivalling the French concrète movement these tape experiments with flute samples and percussion serve as percussive doppelgangers to early Kraftwerk. Including an extra 14-minute track recorded with the Danish Radio Orchestra this is an iconic piece of vinyl on account of its forward thinking sonic, visual and theoretical legacy.
