Riley, Terry
A Rainbow In Curved Air
Keyboard virtuoso Terry Riley started experimenting with different instruments in the '50s. One of his electronic music landmarks is his third album 'A Rainbow In Curved Air.' Through the use of overdubbing, he recorded all the instruments to feature on the title track. It's a colorful, psychedelic, atmospheric and revolutionary song. The second track consists of a loop of saxophones and is the dreamy and calm opposite of the title track. Fans of electronic music, such as Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, would love this record. Taking inspiration from Hindustani classical music and jazz techniques, Riley's masterpiece influenced many musicians, from the likes of Brian Eno to Emeralds. 'A Rainbow In Curved Air' is available as a limited edition of 750 numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl.
