Guest Chaney Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Thanks Lazaro for those links. On Four Compositions (GTM) 2000 (Delmark) These performances don’t transcend the spiky GTM material as consistently as those on Six Compositions (GTM) 2001 (Ratascan), which was recorded later than the Delmark disc (with a different crop of Wesleyan associates) but released earlier. Six Compositions is a pricy four-CD, five-hour set on a poorly distributed specialist label accompanied by a tract-length booklet of Braxton’s famously impenetrable theoretical/mystical/political justifications of his music’s " tri-centric holistic system " that ends with the claim, " Theories are great but music is better. " But it’s probably the best next step for " friendly listeners " intrigued by Four Compositions. After that, you’ll have only 128 or so recordings to go. Poorly distributed? Probably true but with the Internet, certainly not hard to find. Expensive? Sheesh! A wonderful set and a bargain at $43 from Rastascan.
