V/A - New Zealand Electronic Music

Originally released in 1975 on the wellington-based kiwi / reed pacific records ltd. label in a deluxe 3lp box (beautifully replicated here; despite conforming to the c.p. -جø¬-??flat-جø¬-?-جø¬- spec - everything down to the grain of the cardboard is visible!), this set features more or less a side of music each by 6 pre-eminent new zealand electronic composers; douglas lilburn, john rimmer, rolf harris, jack body, ian mcdonald, and john cousins - all composed and executed at the victoria electronic music studios in wellington between 1966 and 1975. This is most certainly the defining artifact of the early new zealand electronic/experimental music scene. absolutely essential if any number of murky drones & scraping improvs pressed into lathe-cut polycarbonate discs that followed in its wake are of interest to you... - Miramoglu Music
