Any anthology that explores the dawn of phonograph recordings promises to be rough going: I can't discern anything meaningful from the primitive recordings by the legendary conductor Arthur Nikisch. However, everything is more clear and vivid after the implementation of the microphone in 1926, and this material occupies four of these five CDs. Still, some artists sound a bit inhibited, and it's frustrating that we're often given only one movement from concertos played by pianist Elly Ney and cellist Enrico Mainardi. However, seasoned collectors will find recordings by Victor de Sabata, Paul Van Kempen, and others that they never even knew existed, plus a great, little-known 1943 performance of Schumann's Symphonic Etudes by Geza Anda. The set is crowned by an emphatic, rugged, deeply felt complete 1941 performance of the Mozart Requiem conducted by Bruno Kittl. The clarity of the remasterings is often amazing. --David Patrick StearnsCustomer Reviews:

Mayo Thompson has led the Red Krayola through 32 years, countless different lineups, and stylistic shifts from freaked-out psychedelia to Marxist funk, but he's rarely chosen to step out from under the Krayola's umbrella. This collaboration, which was recorded in 1983 but remained on the shelf for 15 years, is one such occasion. The other participants were veterans of Germany's electronic-music scene; keyboard player Dieter Moebius has recorded with Cluster, Harmonia, and Brian Eno, while trumpeter and producer Conny Plank has worked with Devo, Kraftwerk, and Ultravox. The two Germans constructed Ludwig's Law's backing tracks using the emulator, an early sampler that enabled them to duplicate the other instruments without having to deal with the musicians who played them. The duo recorded a series of stately fanfares and brittle Talking Heads funk, over which Thompson narrated a series of skewed monologues about philosophy, art, history, and careless farmers. --Bill MeyerCustomer Reviews:
