GLASS, PHILIP	Philip Glass Solo	LP	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 8008LP
$29.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Philip Glass will share a new album, Philip Glass Solo, via Orange Mountain Music. The collection is an intimate portrait of the renowned pianist at 84, as he takes a new look at some of his most enduring and beloved piano works. Philip Glass Solo was recorded at a time when the world was undergoing a major shift -- for Glass, that shift manifested in going from a busy tour and premiere schedule to time spent at home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Glass dedicated this time to revisiting some of his most critically acclaimed piano music, taking to them with a new view in his home studio in New York. It is his most personal record to date, offering a snapshot of his life, and a portrait of daily practice over eight decades through several cherished works. Philip Glass Solo will feature 'Opening,' originally written for the 1982 album Glassworks, which remains one of Glass' most transfixing pieces and established a sound that quickly became a calling card, 'Metamorphosis' I, II, III, and V, the series of music Glass arranged for his first solo piano concerts in the 1980s; one of his most beloved pieces and longest performances on record, 'Mad Rush,' which he composed as an organ piece in 1978 when the Dalai Lama made his first public address in New York; and a reworked version of 'Truman Sleeps' from the soundtrack of the beloved '90s film The Truman Show, where Glass appeared on screen performing the piano in one of the pivotal scenes of the film. His changes speak to the heart of all artists' evolution of both themselves, and their music, over time. 180gram, tip-on jacket, limited edition of 2000."

RAYBEATS, THE	The Lost Philip Glass Sessions	CD	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 7008CD
$20.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "'The Raybeats went into Green St. Recording on June 4, 1982 with Philip Glass, Michael Riesman, and Kurt Munkacsi without really knowing what to expect. We wouldn't know what we had until thirty years later.' So begins the liner notes to The Lost Philip Glass Sessions, a set of seven songs by the instrumental neo-surf rock combo from New York City that arose from the no wave musical scene. The Raybeats' original line-up consisted of Don Christensen (drums), Jody Harris (guitar), Pat Irwin (guitar, saxophone, organ) and George Scott III (bass). New York City in the late-1970s and early 1980s was a place where the cross pollination of very different artistic streams was limitless. Three of these tracks feature keyboard arranged and performed by Philip Glass, and performances by Michael Riesman and the rest of the production team. The songs include 'Black Beach,' 'And I Do Just What I Want,' 'Pack of Camels' and a cover of the band's classic track 'Jack the Ripper.'"

GLASS, PHILIP	Volume V: The Secret Agent	CD	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 059CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "The Secret Agent is a watershed score in Philip Glass' career in writing for film. Based on a novel by Joseph Conrad, Christopher Hampton's independent 1995 film exposes the confused motives that lie at the heart of political terrorism. Glass' score for the film is lushly romantic and expressionistic. Christopher Hampton, the film's director and screenwriter, is also known for his stage and screen versions of Dangerous Liaisons and more recently for his screenplay to the award-winning Atonement. Hampton and Glass also collaborated on librettos for Waiting for the Barbarians and Appomattox."

GLASS, PHILIP	Film Scores: Neverwas Recording Archive Vol. IV	CD	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 052CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Philip Glass' score to the film Neverwas is the fourth release from the Philip Glass Recording Archive. Neverwas, a film starring Ian McKellen, Aaron Eckhart, Nick Nolte, Brittany Murphy, Jessica Lange and William Hurt, is a fantasy-mystery with a bold, playful and fantastical score by Philip Glass. The film never received wide distribution and was largely forgotten. The 53-minute film score (composed the same year the composer's celebrated music for The Hours) possesses some of Glass' most accessible and heartfelt music."

VA	Amplified: New Music Meets Rock 1981-1986	CD	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 024CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL From the Kitchen Archives Vol. 3. "Amplified: New Music Meets Rock, 1981-1986 is the third release in a series of CDs compiled from The Kitchen's archive that documents historic concert recordings at The Kitchen from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. While the first two releases, New Music, New York 1979 and Steve Reich and Musicians, Live 1977 focused on major figures of new and experimental music from The Kitchen's first decade, Amplified moves into the early 1980s, representing a vocabulary that emerged from the avant-garde, minimalist, and No New York scenes in the 1960s and 1970s in New York City. Highlights from the CD include the layered guitars of Rhys Chatham's works, classical cello played through electronic effects pedals by Arthur Russell, a Christian Marclay piece created with multiple turntables 'prepared' with his 'To and Fro-nograph,' one of the earliest Sonic Youth concert recordings, two tracks by Swans and a rarely performed large orchestral piece by Elliott Sharp. Even now, more than twenty years after these shows took place, these recordings capture an explosive energy that still feels vibrant and vital."

LEVINGSTON, BRUCE	Portraits	CD	ORANGE MOUNTAIN	OMM 025CD
$19.00 LOW STOCK LEVEL "Philip Glass's A Musical Portrait of Chuck Close is the product of many years of friendship between two important artists of our time. Pianist Bruce Levingston's performance of this new release serves as a tribute to the profound influences Philip Glass and Chuck Close have had upon one another's work. Since meeting in the 1960s in the SoHo Artists community of lofts and studios, Close has continually created portraits of Glass. The piece is a musical depiction of the spirit of Chuck Close and the integrity of his creative process. This recording also showcases musical portraits by three French masters, Ravel, Messiaen, and Satie, whose works influenced generations of composers and which are played with Mr. Levingston's understanding touch. One of this country's leading exponents of contemporary music, Bruce Levingston has premiered numerous works at prestigious venues throughout the world including Carnegie Hall and New York's Lincoln Center. Many of today's acclaimed composers have written works for him including Pulitzer Prize-winners William Bolcom, David Del Tredici, George Perle and Charles Wuorinen."
