This is an astonishing document! You rarely hear Feldman and Wolff played in such a visceral manner these days --- and I have never heard a recording of the latter's 'Electric Spring' which brings back some memories for me (I played the bass guitar part for a recital in university many years ago!)

I bought this box set a long time in Antwerp for a ridiculous low price because the seller turned out not to be the owner of the shop but his son in law who did not know what to ask...
On a later occasion I met the original owner, he went crazy by hearing the paid price, I offered him to fill up but he was generous and congratulated me with my find haha

Wow, this is really exciting. I just only recently heard about this box set, and was hoping to find it posted somewhere. What a special collection ... I haven't heard a few of these pieces... "Between Categories" (although I know it's on a Mode 2CD set), Wolff's "Electric Spring" (the instrumentation seems really interesting...), and of course the inclusion of Toshi Ichiyanagi is thrilling and my love for John Cage is undying... Thanks very much for this. Looking forward to listening once it's finished downloading. Nothing like a good compilation of modern composition from the '70s...

Thanks for re-upping everything so far - but especially this, which I seem to have missed the first time around.

Excellent share. Was looking for this LPs for a long time already.
And I'm excited to see 'wolf5th' back!

This is unknown to me. I am especially looking forward to the Toshi Ichiyanagi pieces. Many thanks!

It is impossible to express adequate thanks for this and other treasures you have uploaded for us. I am just soaking-in the marvellous Between Categories. It's quite nostalgic for me to see the name of Frank Wolff, the cellist, since during my 30 years in Frankfurt/Main he was a celebrated figure in the avant-left (to coin a phrase) cultural community.
May you flourish -
Martin

This came out when I was in high school. A friend of mine bought it and we listened with some excitement - we were already familiar with most of the composers.

You may have noticed that the cover has a misspelling. My friend's copy had a teardrop-shaped sticker on it, pointing to the error, bearing the text "it's RIEHN"
