{"product_id":"the-columbia-recordings","title":"The Columbia Recordings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis deluxe 4-CD box set from Sony Music brings together the seminal Columbia recordings of Terry Riley, a visionary composer whose influence on minimalist and electronic music continues to ripple through generations. Thoughtfully presented with archival materials, this collection offers an essential document of Riley’s most transformative period when the pulse of innovation met the possibilities of high-fidelity sound.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eThis box set is more than a collection of recordings it is a rare window into a time when the avant-garde found a home in major-label studios and groundbreaking artists like Riley were given space to explore uncharted sonic territory. From his mesmeric electric keyboard and saxophone improvisations to his pioneering use of analog tape delay, every track here pulses with the spirit of experimentation. Starting with the original 1968 recording of In C, captured at Columbia’s legendary 30th Street Studio, by revered engineer Fred Plaut, the set includes four seminal works by Riley that helped shape not only the minimalist movement but much of the late 20th century avant-garde landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTRACKLISTING  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC 1 - CD\u003cbr\u003e1 In C (2009 Remastered)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC 2 – CD\u003cbr\u003e1 A Rainbow in Curved Air\u003cbr\u003e2 Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band\u003cbr\u003e3 A Rainbow in the Curved Air (Radio Spot) (Bonus Track)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC 3 – CD\u003cbr\u003e1 Church of Anthrax\u003cbr\u003e2 The Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles\u003cbr\u003e3 The Soul of Patrick Lee\u003cbr\u003e4 Ides of March\u003cbr\u003e5 The Protégé\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDISC 4 – CD\u003cbr\u003e1 Anthem of the Trinity\u003cbr\u003e2 Celestial Valley\u003cbr\u003e3 Across the Lake of the Ancient World\u003cbr\u003e4 Desert of Ice \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Classical","offers":[{"title":"4CD","offer_id":51841843069259,"sku":"R7955-4380","price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/TerryRiley_TheColumbiaRecordings_Packshot.jpg?v=1747646566","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/the-columbia-recordings","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
