Where it came from
Released in 1984 by Decca as part of the label's Head series, this compilation brought together essential avant-garde compositions from the 20th century. By anchoring the record with works like Varèse's 'Ionisation' and Xenakis's 'Antikhthon', the release aimed to provide a comprehensive look at the evolution of percussion-heavy and mathematical musical structures. The selection reflects a period of heightened interest in mid-century experimentalism, showcasing works that redefined the relationship between timbre, rhythm, and traditional instrumentation.
The album serves as a masterclass in the technical ambition of the mid-1980s Decca engineering team. Each piece was selected to highlight the dynamic range and clarity of the recording process, with the New Philharmonia Orchestra and the Los Angeles Philharmonic providing authoritative readings of complex scores. Critics at the time praised the clarity of the production, noting how the recording successfully navigated the inherent challenges of capturing the unconventional soundscapes of prepared piano and multi-percussion ensembles.
