Face The Windmills, Turn Left

The 20th (again, note how the multi-disc "Double" catalogue numbers were a later construct) of the ca. 2003 "Proto Creel Pone" titles was this set covering all of the Electronic Music (the entirely acoustic 1981 "String Quartet No. 4 ('Like There's Tomorrow')" LP [#SR 9033] & the piece "Rosa" from Sorrel Hays' "Adoration Of The Clash" 2LP [#SR 2720] are absent; editorial decisions intended to keep the mission-creep at bay) İlhan Mimaroğlu released on his own Atlantic "Vanity" imprint Finnadar, including 1972's "Wings Of The Delirious Demon And Other Electronic Works" [#SR 9001], 1973's "Electronic Music For Jean Dubuffet's Coucou Bazar" [#SR 9003], 1976's "Face The Windmills, Turn Left" [#SR 9012], & 1983's " Musiques Noires" [#SR 91014] as well the pieces "Session" from the 1978 Idil Biret recital "New Line Piano" [#SR 9021] & "Sleepsong For Sleepers" from the 1985 "Sleepers" comp [#SR 90266] across four discs! Needless to say/remind, but the absence of this music from most conversations surrounding the apex of "American" Tape Music (esp. its politically-charged arm) has been deafening; this is, simply, some of the all-time greatest Electro-Acoustic work, and it's great to have it all referenceable again in one handy edition, with all original aesthetics in tact. As an added/separate incentive to this 2022 réédition, I'm also offering/including a single-disc replica of the "Sing Me A Song Of Songmy (A Fantasy For Electromagnetic Tape)" collaboration with Freddie Hubbard (present visually both in its original 1971 domestic Atlantic art-spec and the 1976 German " That's JAZZ" mirror-cutout version) along with Mimaroglu's performances/contributions on/to two separate Atlantic projects: the (short) piece "Forms" from Arif Mardin's 1974 LP "Journey" (where M's "Tape" appears alongside - I shit you not - Michael & Randy Brecker & longtime King Crimson "Chapman Stick" player Tony Levin) & the pieces "Autumn Song" & "Poodie Pie" from Don Pullen's 1977 "Tomorrow's Promises" (where M plays "Live Electronics" alongside Mingus "Changes" -band players George Adams & Pullen).
