Notes

Comes in a matte/clear with white/silver printing plastic slipcase, with a 112-page booklet featuring quotes from the artists, photos, and extensive notes.

This is a special edition which comes with a DVD featuring over two hours of rare performances, interviews, animations, and experimental video.
"In Memory of Robert Moog."

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.
