Vibracathedral Orchestra, Various - Anthology of Noise & Electronic Music Vol 4

Each compilation in this excellent series so far has proved an essential primer, and this fourth offering shows no signs of letting up on either substance or quality. As with all of these compilations, the list of artists is endlessly exciting and this time we're treated to exclusive tracks from Rune Grammofon's Maja Ratkje, Lauri Spiegel and the psyche-tastic Vibracathedral Orchestra with rarities coming from Steve Reich, Alvin Lucier, Ligeti, Robert Wyatt, Oliver Messiaen and Jean Claude Risset among many more.
