Exactly. He was (and apparently still is) an unknown among unknowns. His
pieces are as affecting to me as, say Subotnick, but I'm not sure he'll
never get that much recognition.

Sorry this was confusing the way I worded it. I was referring to GEMM as
in the online music distributor (www.gemm.com). I have no idea if there
was a Dockstader retrospective recently. I know his "apocolypse" release
has been stuck on CD with "quarterstaff" and re-released, but that's the
only re-release I remember off the top of my head.
