Notes

© ℗ 2000 Ellipsis Arts.
Design: The A.V. Dept. at Stoltze Design, Boston

Issued as 8-panel Digipak with transparent trays inside a matte/clear with white/silver printing plastic slipcase, including a 100-page booklet featuring quotes from the artists, photos, and extensive notes. The tracks are presented here chronologically, and if you've read Joel Chadabe's book "Electric Sound: The Past and Promise of Electronic Music," then this makes an excellent accompaniment.

Note that, according to one Amazon review, the Milton Babbitt track is the totally non-electronic 'Phonemena' and not the listed 'Philomel'. Also many of the tracks have inevitably been severely edited.
