"First impressions:



I do like it. If you like Xenakis, and severe noisy electronic tape music, you'll like it too. Even my 3-year old liked it, which is unusual (he usually only likes Thomas the Tank Engine).



Definitely a worthy new release (of old 1970's Xenakis tape music, previously unavailable).



I do recognize some sounds from some of Xenakis' other tape works.



The CD is "only" 42 minutes long (which would have been about right for a vinyl LP release). The booklet discusses one more work ("withdrawn" by Xenakis from his official ouevre), that's only on the DVD.
