I’m very impressed with this series, Musica Eletroacustica Brasileira v.I-III, of which I’ve heard the first two – and probably would have never even discovered them if it weren’t for the library. The compositions here mainly stem from the 1990′s, though there is some small dabbling in 60′s-80′s material. The lateness of these works is what I find most interesting, since the sound is a serious throwback to the French INA / GRM group sound of the 50′s-70′s. Yet, it’s accomplished in it’s own way. I like the covers a lot, as well. Too bad these are seemingly impossible to track down in the states. I even emailed abroad to get information on where to buy them online, but was met with a lot of confusing correspondence. I’ve seen them listed at least one place for $30 a piece. Ouch.
Edit: Just got an email with prices at $13 a piece, plus rather expensive shipping. Catch is that you have to send cash. Anyone want to help them get proper distribution?
