A nearly 7 minute edit of the Lucier piece is available on the 3 CD collection "Ohm:
the early gurus of electronic music: 1848-1980" from Elipsis Arts. This is a very
cool collection that is an excellent reference history of electronic music. It is
just a taste of lots of different artists; some more enjoyable than others IMO but a
great retrospective with everyone from Clara Rockmore through John Cage, Varese,
Stockhousen, Raymond Scott, all the way up to Brian Eno. I must say that the Eno
stuff sounds pretty weak against the early stuff. Some of it is truly amazing what
folks did with just some oscillators and tape recorders in the 50s and early 60s!
Hugh Le Caine's "Dripsody" from 1955 puts most modern sampler work to shame...
I ordered my copy on-line from Elipsis Arts. I can't find the web site, but you can
probably find it if you search the AH archives at www.midiwall.com.
