		<title>Terry Riley + ARTE Quartet &#8211; Assassin Reverie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Within this silly little realm we call reality, Terry Riley is simply one of the most awesome musicians to ever play a note. Every time he touches an instrument or opens his mouth to sing, magic fills the air. Terry came to prominence in the 1960s as an early minimalist with his groundbreaking compostion, In [...]]]></description>

		<title>Barbara Kolb &#8211; Millefoglie and Other Works‏</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Born in 1939, Barbara Kolb is an American composer of challenging classical music. Case in point: The title track of this ancient 1992 CD serves up a nearly 20-minute helping of dissonant avant garde classical chamber orchestra music layered with quiet electronic drones via computer generated tape. Here and there, the listener encounters starts and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Larry Polansky &#8211; Lonesome Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
This CD is full to the brim with a continent-sized ball of piano music of maze-like complexity written in 1989 by experimental composer Larry Polansky. Very difficult to play but lovely to hear, the piece is often far more melodic and song-like than Larry&#8217;s experimental output—which typically veers toward the austere and conceptual. &#8220;Wait a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Evan Ziporyn &#8211; Gamelan Galak Tika</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Gamelan Galak Tika  is a nice merger of traditional Balinese-style percussion with two Western instruments: “Amok!” for gamelan, double bass and sampler and &#8220;Tire Fire&#8221; for gamelan and electric guitars. Gamelan Galak Tika (&#8220;Galak&#8221; means wild, fierce or passionate, but when combined with &#8220;Tika&#8221; it merely puns on Battlestar Galactica) is a seven-person ensemble [...]]]></description>
