Brilliant, If you listen to it in the shop youll flick the needle over all
forty minutes and say 'it doesnt change!'... but it does, this is what
trance music is really about. In C is a composition consisting
of several musical patterns all based around one simple musical theme.
The musicians (including Jon hassel on the original mid-sixties recording)
change the patterns at will and in some ways its quite strict, but it is
improvisation, i guess its more like improv similar to traditional indian raga.
The original recording and the 25th anniversary recording are both excellent,
Terry Riley reccommends the 25th anniv. recording over the original i believe,
however either one is excellent.
I also Heavily reccomend 'Poppy Nogood and the phantom band' which is my
favourite Riley piece and 'A rainbow in curved air' (which incidently was
sampled by Howie B on the 'The time has come' remixes on mowax..)
