I have a vinyl copy of Poeme Electronique that I got
through my aunt- a librarian with access to musty
schoolhouse storages. I lifted a bizarre flute
interlude from the piece and it fit eerily into a
track I worked on with a friend of mine. It fit
without any tempo or pitch adjustment, which resulted
in chills running up and down my spine. The track was
never finished but I still listen to the components.
My copy has a fold-out sleeve that explained its
impact on electronic music and a few bars of the theme
in musical notation.
