Reissues
Ze Wörmnest
Lovely. Here’s a Creelpro of Jonas Palm’s 1980 Piglet-label outing “Ze Wörmnest,” widely considered as one of the canonic crater-dwellings of early 80s “Minimal Synth” pedagogy. To wit, here’s a perfectly zenzible stammer by John “Inzane” Olson, re…
Provocative Electronics
Creel Pone treatment of this 1970 hidden jewel in the Westminster Gold catalogue - an imprint enjoying something of a cult following amongst record collectors due to their amazing & often ridiculous cover designs - not sure how marketing Wagner / O…
Journey to the Land of Forgotten Dreams
Total downer one-man-against the world synth action from one Lorq Damon; “Dedicated to all who believe in the beyond.” The artists’ liners cite strict instructions on how to enjoy this music; i.e. that this “is a psychic experience and not a musical…
Reality Gates
Creel Pone treatment of this set of deep-fried one-man-against-the-cosmos synth-automaton gunk from the distant US midwest - specifically; Bloomington, Indiana - of the early 70s, initially released on / by the “Custom Fidelity Records” label / plan…
Electronique Et Stereophonie, Musique Spatiale
Amazing Early Electronic / Experimental Instrument / Tape-Manipulation work from these two Composer / Performers, with Sala perhaps the better known of the two due to his innumerable contributions to film-sound design - he did all of the bird-sounds…
Trip-Tych
Originally brought to light in 1977 by Serenus - the same folks that unleashed the early Creel Pone “Hit,” “The Inside of the Outside ... or the Outside of the Inside”) this is a fine example of a record that straddles the divide between library-mus…
Contemporaneos 4, Musica Electroacustica
Last C.P. of 2010, finally available after countless delays, mostly involving the tricky /expert-level remastering job needed to resuscitate this incredible, historically-important music from sub-par vinyl pressings - a high-spec issue of Cuban comp…
Works of Electronic Music
Something of a “companion” volume to the “Greek Electronic Music -1” compilation (one of the most popular & enduring entries in the early Creel Pone replography) issued a decade later, comprised of late-70s & mid-80s works by a successive generation…
Musiques de l'O.N.F., Music of the N.F.B.
reproduction of a lovely 1977 double-lp set collecting only the earliest electronic music made in canada; with a majority of pieces remarkably made without the aid of magnetic tape (!?) but directly on optical film... music of the n.f.b. (volume 1)au…
The Inside of the Outside, or The Outside of the Inside
"Who Are They? Where Do They Come From? Why are They Here?" After a short beauty res(e)t, Creel Pone returns borne anew with this pristine nugget, a reproduction of this 1965 Serenus-label lp by one George Engler - with one piece credited to “Heinz …
Tropes on the Salve Regina
I've heard rumo(u)r of the Creel Pone "shortlist"; i.e. the member-curated selection of "candidates" for the Creel Pone treatment, each title nominated then judged according to strict set of attributes found running throughout the series (intangible …
Iowa Ear Music
This one’s certainly a mold-breaker; closer in spirit to Cage / Tudor’s “Indeterminacy” than the sort of bedroom solo composer / producer / performer LPs that have been the Creel Pone archetype thus far. Improvisors were set up in 4 different isolat…
Electronic Tricks
L’Illustration Musicale - more commonly known as simply “IM” - was a Parisian production library active during the early to mid 70s, during which they issued a couple-dozen titles by the cream of the crop: Eddie Warner, Johnny Hawksworth, Bernard “B…
Musica Elettronica 1
Here’s something of a Holy Grail amongst the “Electronic Library” spec; Romolo Grano’s 1973 Joker-label “Musica Elettronica 1,” touted as no less than an all-encompassing “New Dimension in Sound, Electronically Tested in Sound Laboratory,” The polar…
IPEM 1963-73
Easily the most elusive of the three “I.P.E.M.” (Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music) titles released by Alpha Brussels (you want to do this? alright, here we go - this one, CP 138, was the first to be released, SP-6015, 1973 - follow…
Live Electronic
After a long winter-hiatus, Creel Pone returns anew in fine form w /a reproduction of this 1979 Hungaroton-label burner, covering a series of "Live Electronic" pieces composed by Laszlo Dubrovay during the mid-late 70s. After an extended "Modern Com…
Elektronische Musik, Konkret - Instrumental - Vokal
1982 compilation of late 70s & early 80s "Konkret - Instrumental - Vokal" work composed at the Studio für Elektronische Musik der Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Stuttgart. Includes pieces by Jürgen Bäuninger (incredible trans…
Organum Quadruplum
Here’s a special one: the 1974 “Edizioni Musicali e Discografiche Pubbliart” - essentially, a private imprint - issue of Vittorio Gelmetti’s electronic music, including the extended 1969 piece “L'Opera Abbandonata,” composed at the Studio Eksperyment…
Dimensione Sogno
Despite being something of a self-professed “Enthusiast” of exactly this kind of thing - privately-released LPs of minimal, experimental electronic music from the 1970s - I had literally never heard head nor hide of the storied Italian actor - he was…
Íslensk Raftónlist / Electronic Music From Iceland
Ah, yes ; here's Mr. P.C. C.P.'s treatment of the other known Icelandic Early Electronic music LP - the first, while not really Icelandic in the sense that it was composed @ UCSD :: Thorkell Sigurbjrnsson's "La Jolla Good Friday;" Creel Pone #52 - bu…
