Ellipsis Arts: Ohm: The Early Genius of Electronic Music 1948 - 1980 (3 CDs & book)

Reviewed by Larry Crane

For those who thought electronic music started with rave culture or people like myself, who don't really want to buy whole Morton Subotnick albums but have always been curious, this is a cool find. Three CDs of the most important electronic music pioneers: Clara Rockmore, Milton Babbit, Brian Eno, Louis and Bebe Barron, Varese, Stockhausen, Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveros... the list goes on. Educational and fun. (Ellipsis Arts, 20 Lumber Rd., Roslyn, NY 11576)
