This collection is a humble but bold attempt to give form to the wonderful, multi-directional, inevitable birth of electronic music. 'Many of the ideas in this collection have now been so completely assimilated into popular listening that it may sometimes be hard to remember how surprising it all was on first outing. Some of it still sounds pretty exotic. These CDs are important as part of the story of how we got to where we are now–the cultural conversation so far–and as a still fruitful repertoire of future possibilities.' —from the Foreword by Brian Eno Three CDs—42 original music tracks from 1948–1980 112 Page Book—extensive artist interviews, commentaries, and archival photographs Special Edition DVD—over two hours of rare performances, interviews, animations, and experimental video. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Electronic Hapiness This CD set is a much needed collection for all musicians or just audio freaks with an ear for electronic music. The great thing about this set is the DVD that comes with it. If you are into pioneers of electronic music and visuals/video art, then this CD is a must for you. If you listen to electronic pioneers like Morton Subotnic to Joy Electric and visual pioneers like Yoichiro Kawaguchi to Silverlage then Don't delay. Add it to your collection. Rating: - The Total Package I recently purchased Ohm, the early gurus of electronic music, and I am very immpressed. By far the most important criteria for judgment must be the quality of the cleaning up of early recordings. Every track on all three CDs has a low noise floor, which has been achieved without the loss of palpability or dynamic range that is so common with the usual cleaning processes. The other stand out feature is that this is the complete package; 114 page booklet with great art work, 13-16 tracks on each CD ... Read More Rating: - An Audio Encyclopedia of Early Electronic Experiments I enjoyed listening to the CD and watching the videos. Some of the selections, however, were not quite what I would call musical quality, but were interesting sound samples. I was glad that I heard them, but once heard they would not be something I would want to listen to as music or for a background when reading a book. Some tracks had a very good ambient environmental quality that would be good for creating a warm background, meditating or deep listening. Some showed that synths could do classical ...

It probably goes without saying, but just to be clear, the music here is part of the academic/experimental music tradition and more popular forms of electronic music such as Kraftwerk or Jean-Jacques Perry are not represented here. There is a great selection of composers here from early musique concrete pioneers like Pierre Schaeffer to technical innovators like John Chowning to unclassifiable geniuses like Iannis Xenakis. There ...

With 3 CDs and a DVD, plus a pretty thick (for a CD set) insert, I thought this was certainly a decent value. While certainly not encyclopedic, this set seems like a good starting point for exploring early electronic music. see more Browse for similar items by category: Rock - Alternative Styles - Alternative Rock - Styles - Music - Experimental Rock Classical - Styles - Music - General Ballets & Dances - Classical - Styles - Music - Waltzes Chamber Music - Classical - Styles - Music - General ( C ) - Featured Composers, A-Z - Classical - Styles - Music - Cage, John
