Listening from start to finish is ok, but for taking out tracks this album is less rewarding. The deformations sound too much like interferences. In minimal conditions the techniques used sound better, at times very good, and sporadically nearly unique. Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/electronicmusic4.html#anchor_510 * Sub Rosa Alireza Mashayekhi / Ata Ebtekar aka Sote : -Persian Electronic Music -Yesterday and Today 1996-2006- (IR,2007)**°°° CD1, Alireza Mashayekhi : Tr.1, “Shur,op.15” 7 min -31 CD2, Ata Ebtekar aka Sote :- Very special combination of Persian contemporary classical music with electronic music.

Review : http://www.psychemusic.org/MayaBeiser.html#anchor_121 * Innova GVSU New Music Ensemble : (Terry Riley's) In C remixed -2CD- (US,2010)°°°° CD1: Tr.3, Glenn Kotche : “Smooth” 7 min CD1 : Tr.7, Phil Kline : “In Cognito” 7 min 14 -58 One of the most famous minimalist pieces transformed in a remixed form by many collaborators. A convincing concept. Very special/original is Phil Kline's interpretation as if in C has reminiscence to a swan lake (& some swan lake composition).
