Max Neuhaus historic (and controversial) record reissued!!!
Forced Exposure has the following record listed: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SONY (JAPAN): NEUHAUS, MAX: Electronics and Percussion -- Five Realizations CD (SICC 79). Japanese-only reissue of this classic electronics & percussion album, originally issued by Columbia in 1968. First time on CD. Produced by David Behrman, recorded in Feb., 1968; includes a reproduction of the original Max Neuhaus liner notes. Featuring works by Brown, Stockhausen, Cage, Bussotti & Feldman, performed by Max Neuhaus. The pieces are: "Four Systems -- for Four Amplified Cymbals" (Earle Brown; 1954); "The King of Denmark" (Morton Feldman, 1964); "Coeur pour Batteur -- Positively Yes (Sylvano Bussotti, 1959); "No.9 Zyklus for One Percussionist (Karlheinz Stockhausen, 1959); "Fontana Mix -- Feed (John Cage, 1958). This would be considered one of the first "live electronic music" albums and the front cover photo of a bare-chested Neuhaus in front of this percussion kit is one of the unforgettable images of the avant-garde. Neuhaus is better known in recent times for his real-world Times Square sound installation. $29.00 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't know how the Feldman specialists rate his interpretation of "King of Denmark" but I have never been able to forget it and was still desesperatly looking for something approaching it (and failed).
