hello, can anyone recommend a good version(s) of IN C by Terry Riley (how many recordings of this piece are there out there anyway?) I have a copy of one, but have no idea what group it is because i got it from the internet. I see that both Bang on a Can and the Acid Mothers have versions out. . . serge _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
I'd get the first one, on Columbia, before anything else. The Acid Mothers version is pretty fun, and it's interesting to hear the piece recast as a sorta Amon Duul psych-rock piece. There's also a Chinese one - I don't have it, so I can't give you any details - that sounds as though it'd be pretty intriguing. At 08:16 PM 12/8/2002 -0800, serge dautricourt wrote:

I agree with Chris, the original version of 'In C' on Columbia is the place to start. But I'll also put in a kind word for the Bang on a Can version, which is in a lot of ways the best performance available (and has been called "definitive" by much more exalted souls than myself). I also fondly recall a version on the New Albion label by the Rova Saxophone Quartet, Henry Kaiser and others. I haven't heard the Chinese version or the Acid Mothers version, but I do have one unusual version in my collection, a rock-oriented guitar swarm performance by art-punk band the Styrenes, formerly of the same Cleveland scene that coughed up Pere Ubu and now based in New York. (That one is on Enja, of all labels...) And it would have been really nice if someone had recorded the all-DJ and electronics version at the Lincoln Center Festival a few years ago... Jason Gross, weren't you at that one? Steve Smith ssmith36@sprynet.com NP - Derek Bailey & Franz Hautzinger, "Talk," 'Derek Bailey Franz Hautzinger' (Grob)
