5.0 out of 5 starsGreat reissue, great Xenakis disc, gratitude to the corporate fascists
By Discophage TOP 1000 REVIEWER on November 6, 2013
Format: Audio CD
Sorry, 21st Century reviews, I've enjoyed some other of your Xenakis reviews, but on this one you are really way off. First, and although it is arguably peripheral to the matter, you should be more careful not to throw around words at random just because they seem to sound good and make an impact. The decision makers at Decca may be "opportunists", but to call them "corporate fascists" is an insult to all those who ever lived under fascist rule (and that includes Xenakis himself), and shows only that you have no notion of what fascism is. You mean, those who decided on that Xenakis reissue are of the same ilk as Bachir El Assad gasing his own population? Well, yes, many foes of Xenakis would probably agree with you here on the appositeness of the metaphor, but I doubt that this is what you had in mind. So just call them "opportunists" if you will (although we are not talking here about a case of having the three tenors record Xenakis. What's opportunistic at issuing or reissuing any Xenakis, I really wonder. It's more like dedication, if not sheer madness).

Second and more fundamental, your problems with this reissue seem entirely misguided. That it is a reissue and not a new recording of hitherto unrecorded Xenakis? Yeah, well, new Xenakis is fine, but to have major "old" Xenakis back and still available, in a cheap and valuable offering, is also great. That all the stuff is already in the Alpha & Omega box, Alpha & Omega 1922-01, and that only "the cheap noob" would be interested by less when he can have more?

How condescending really.Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsExploiting Xenakis Like An Underage Prostitute
By 21st Century Reviews on November 2, 2013
Format: Audio CD
I could have given this 3 Stars, but, considering that you can get all of these pieces in three different places already, I had to stick it to the opportunists at Decca, corporate fascists that they must be, for letting down fans with nothing special, which is what Xenakis fans are looking for. But, if you don't have any of these yet, this issue trades out the Howarth disc and the DG disc, which can actually aid in collecting, but, since all these pieces are on the 'Alpha & Omega' Box, which is so much more essential, this is only for the cheap noob who won't go for that Box. Pathetic, Decca: please just either record some new, and needed, Xenakis, or just go away! Don't fall down those stairs!!

And I'll also take this opportunity to Preview the new Mode disc coming out on Nov.5, 2013. Right now I just have questions questions questions. Unless they plan or recording an 'Ensemble Music 4', shoring up the holes left here, this release makes precious little sense. Sure, we get the World Premiere Recording of 'Zythos' (not the greatest Xenakis by any stretch, but still quite unique), paired with the other Last Work, 'O-Mega' (of which we now have three recordings), but, we have duplicates from Mode's own series of Xenakis recordings ('Palimpsest' was recorded on the first Aki Takahashi disc, and, 'Akanthos' and 'Echange' were on one of the other 'Ensemble Music' discs...???...).

So, we waited 12 years for 'Zythos'? And I'm supposed to celebrate? What does this say about the world of the Arts in general? I know we're in an economic downturn, but 'Zythos' only needs six marimbas and a trombone! Come ON, people!!

Still, I'm looking forward to the release. Maybe if Mode sends me a copy I'll add an extra Star to the Review?!!?!! Call me, Brian!
