The Grandfather Paradox: A Journey Through 50 Years of Minimalistic Music


via FACT magazine where you'll find the full post including track listings.

Anyone know what that is to the left of him - the white slant?

"The Grandfather Paradox is a double-disc affair - the first CD mixed, the second CD unmixed. The time-travelling track selection is pretty faultless - kicking off with Movement 3 from Steve Reich and Pat Metheny's sublime Electric Counterpoint, and taking in the Balearic drift of Kenneth Bager, the stargazing kosmische of Conrad Schnitzler and Klaus Schulze (pictured), the hypnotic punk-funk of Liquid Liquid, exquisitely modulated post-rock-cum-electronic from To Rococo Rot, tonally fierce techno from Robert Hood and Ø (Pan Sonic's Mika Vainio) and a spot of lo-fi dystopian electro from the inimitable John Carpenter. Along the way we hit upon such muso touchstones as Young Marble Giants, Arthur Russell, Cymande, Moondog and Raymond Scott; extra points too for including Hawtin's pummelling remix of La Funk Mob."
