Avant Garde Project 182 is up and running

[loudav]

This one went up last Friday, but I forgot to announce it here...

AGP182 is the second of two installments featuring volume 2 of the long out-of-print ReR Quarterly, produced by Recommended Records. Released at irregular intervals of no less than three months, the series continued through three volumes of LP releases, before switching to the CD medium for a fourth volume starting in 1994, and then ending in 1997. Each volume except the third consisted of four issues containing a magazine and either an LP or CD of music. A pair of CDs with selected tracks from the first two volumes were released in 1991 and are available from ReR Megacorp.

The tracks in these installments run the gamut from electroacoustic music to avant-pop. Many of the artists participated in the protest movements of that time and were devoted partisans of a revolutionary ethos. Most of the tracks were recorded and produced on a shoestring budget, but even so the sound quality is often excellent. And even in the more primitive recordings, the range of timbres explored can be quite striking.

AGP182 includes all out-of-print tracks from volume 2, issues 3-4, released in 1988 and 1989. The LPs transcribed are excellent pressings in excellent condition, with negligible surface noise or tracking distortion. The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the pages describing the music on the LPs from all four issues of volume 2 of the magazine.
