1	Mobile (2006) more music like this by Glenn Kotche Mobile, percussionist Glenn Kotche's third solo offering, is his first for Nonesuch. Being a member of Wilco made scoring a record deal with his band's prestigious label a bit easier to come by, perhaps, but it's well-deserved nonetheless. Kotche has played on over 70 recordings and performed in a variety settings over the past decade. He's a ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $4.35!
2	And Their Refinement of the Decline (2007) more music like this by Stars of the Lid After the near symphonic exercise of engaging the void that was Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid in 2001, it was hard to believe there was anything left to do. Wrong. Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie emerged from the studio in early 2007 with the equally huge And Their Refinement of the Decline. The notion of symphonic here is, without doubt, still ... see all copies from $12.96! new only from $15.43!
3	Reed Streams (1999) more music like this by Terry Riley Finally we have a worthy reissue of composer Terry Riley's debut album from 1966. There have been a few bootleg attempts, but this collection is official, featuring the original "Untitled Organ" and "Dorian Reeds" that make up the album, and as an added CD bonus, a psychedelicized big-band -- as in jazz, not orchestra -- version of "In C" called ... see all copies from $11.27! new only from $13.70!
4	Music on a Long Thin Wire (1980) more music like this by Alvin Lucier Recording of an installation made on May 10, 1979 in the Rotunda of the US Customs House, Bowling Green, New York City. The wire was extended 80 feet through the oval of the Rotunda and was driven by one pure wave oscillator. The wire played itself: all changes in volume, timbre, harmonic structure, rhythmic and cyclic patterning, and other sonic ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
5	Mobile for Shakespeare (1999) more music like this by Roman Haubenstock-Ramati Roman Haubenstock-Ramati is a European counterpart of the New York School having been born around the same time as John Cage (1919) and died near that time as well (1994). Interestingly, his "mobiles," of which there are several in his cannon, and this one dates from 1958, are strange amalgams of early-20th century systems and indeterminacy. ... see all copies from $13.93!
6	I Am Sitting in a Room (1990) more music like this by Alvin Lucier "I am sitting in a room, different from the one you are in now." So begins one of the masterpieces of 20th century music merging processed music, minimalism, and self-reference into an utterly amazing and ultimately beautiful work. The instructions for producing the piece are, in fact, the piece itself. The composer sits and describes what will ... see all copies from $16.37! new only from $16.37!
7	The Sweetness of the Water (2004) more music like this by Spring Heel Jack When the U.K. hard drum 'n bass "duo" Spring Heel Jack began collaborating with Thirsty Ear and their Blue Series curator Matthew Shipp, one doubts they had any idea that their own sense of proportion and direction would shift so far away from their source material as it has. Sweetness of the Water is the band's fourth outing in the Blue Series, ... see all copies from $8.98! new only from $15.30!
8	24-24 Music (1981) more music like this by Dinosaur L Of all the posthumous recordings in Arthur Russell's voluminous legacy, the Dinosaur L recordings from 1981, titled 24-24 Music on the original Sleeping Bag Records imprint, are the most delightful to listen to. While it's true in one way they are not the most musically sophisticated of his many recordings -- and this is not a disclaimer -- in ... see all copies from $10.71! new only from $12.33!
9	Lisbon (2006) more music like this by Keith Fullerton Whitman With all of his recent explorations into vintage analog equipment, drones, collaborations, and everything else under the sun as Hrvatski, it's amazing that Keith Fullerton Whitman has time to eat a good meal, let alone release albums and tour with such breakneck speed. But this particular recording is something special when placed in contrast to ... see all copies from $7.21! new only from $9.39!
10	The Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music [Collector's Choice] (1975) more music like this by Beaver & Krause It's strange in the 21st century to think of Beaver & Krause's debut album as being the Nonesuch Guide to Electronic Music -- an instructional recording on how the then-new Moog synthesizer could be used. Originally issued as a double album, it contained 68 short tracks over four sides; not bad considering the entire thing is only 48-minutes long. ... see all copies from $9.90! new only from $16.05!
11 view cover	Panzer Division Lou Reed (2007) more music like this by Sunroof! Those familiar with Sunroof!'s other recordings may be more than a little startled by Panzer Division Lou Reed. Matthew Bower's previous explorations into uber-drone music have been very, um, pretty. They have were woven themselves from whispy elements of feedback and open chord tunings, allowing sustain pedals to shift almost imperceptibly for ... see all copies from $10.24! new only from $11.87!
12 view cover	Autumn Response (2007) more music like this by Richard Youngs For those who have followed the strange, enigmatic "career" of composer, songwriter, and experimentalist Richard Youngs, Autumn Response will be a bit of a shock. Recording for labels as diverse as VHS and Jagjaguwar, Youngs has employed everything from extended song structures that give way to dissonant improvisation, whether in collaboration or ... see all copies from $13.25! new only from $13.25!
13 view cover	Yasunao Tone (2003) more music like this by Yasunao Tone see all copies from $10.24! new only from $12.31!
14 view cover	Memory/Vision (2004) more music like this by Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble The Evan Parker Electro-Acoustic Ensemble has been an ever-changing entity in both personnel and musical direction. Originally structured as a free jazz unit whose players were given "electronic shadows," this model has given way to something entirely other in composition and execution. The ensemble now numbers nine members. Only five of these ... see all copies from $9.84! new only from $28.99!
15 view cover	Worldfood (2004) more music like this by Ramon Sender In his entertaining liner notes to this splendid pair of extended electronic works from the heyday of San Francisco's mythic Tape Music Center, Ramon Sender relates how Eldon Corl of the Ampex Corporation provided the fledgling studio on Divisadero Street with equipment. Much of this would seem pretty primitive today, but, like many composers ... see all copies from $10.88! new only from $16.39!
16 view cover	Patterns of Plants (1997) more music like this by Mamoru Fujieda The musical material for this elegant and serenely beautiful ensemble work, written in 1995-1996 and scored for Eastern and Western instruments in alternative tunings, is based on data derived from two electrodes, attached to various plant leaves, that measure slight changes in the plants electrical potential. This dynamic data is then translated ... see all copies from $11.65! new only from $14.78!

18 view cover	Solo Works: The Lumina Recordings (2006) more music like this by Ned Rothenberg Solo Works: The Lumina Recordings is a double-disc set of Ned Rothenberg's three early solo recordings, made between 1980 and 1985 and previously released on LP on his own Lumina label. The titles include Trials of the Argo, Portal, and Trespass. Given what an amazing composer and ensemble arranger Rothenberg is, these outings are revelatory ... see all copies from $17.25! new only from $20.75!
19 view cover	Yearlong (2005) more music like this by Keith Fullerton Whitman/Greg Davis Nearly a year-long in the making, friends and musically kindred spirits Greg Davis and Keith Fullerton Whitman embarked on a year-long excursion taking them to various coffee houses, galleries and living rooms across the country performing for the most captivated of audiences in the most intimate of settings. The result is a 13-track-long ... see all copies from $11.11! new only from $12.56!
20 view cover	Myrninerest (2005) more music like this by Ikue Mori Ikue Mori has been on a roll since 1996's Garden was issued by Tzadik. She has worked in many settings, from trios -- with Robert Quine and Marc Ribot -- to sextets, as she did on One Hundred Aspects of the Moon, to completely solo works, such as Garden. This effort, Myrninerest, is another solo work, played entirely on a computer. The inspiration ... see all copies from $14.78! new only from $14.78!
21 view cover	Night Chant (1995) more music like this by Mamoru Fujieda The genius of Mamoru Fujieda is that he manages to produce albums thick with theory and concept that still manage to sound quite beautiful. The Night Chant is no exception. Though a good deal of planned randomness was involved in its execution, the album manages to never sound chaotic or discordant. Though not precisely controlled, the instruments ... see all copies from $11.94! new only from $14.47!
22 view cover	Extraditional: New Pieces for the Shakuhachi (2000) more music like this by Kojiro Umezaki Extraditional is Kojiro Umezaki's first CD, on which he presents us with modern pieces for shakuhachi and electronic instruments. Two of the pieces includes two conventional instruments as well: guitar and vibraphone. Umezaki is a composer and computer scientist specializing in audio technology. His main interest is to use real-time interactive ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $16.39!
23 view cover	Four Electroacoustic Compositions (2002) more music like this by David Dunn This album is the first major addition to David Dunn's discography since Innova's double-CD set Music, Language and Environment in 1996. There has not been much of the composer to go around and these Four Electroacoustic Compositions portray another side of his work. The four pieces, all between ten and 15 minutes in length, date from the '80s and ... see all copies from $9.50! new only from $18.45!
24 view cover	Multiples (2005) more music like this by Keith Fullerton Whitman After the release of two highly sought-after limited-edition vinyl pieces (Schoner Flussengel and Antithesis) on the Kranky imprint and the fantastic collaborative release on Carpark with Greg Davis, Keith Fullerton Whitman returns to more widely available solo endeavors, offering up an eight-song sonic assault on the ears recorded during his ... see all copies from $12.70! new only from $12.70!
