Definitely.
is youre no good great?
Yes but IIRC the CD is kind of expensive for just that one track. It seems like a good candidate for downloading.

I like his works in 'just intonation' (basically & non technically modern instruments are all slightly out of tune - just intonation is pure natural tuning & sounds lovely);
Shri Camel got me into Terry & is awesome
The harp of new Albion is wonderful - a double album of retuned piano - a much more considered/mature album - the padova concert is a good live album of some of the material - No where near as immediate as some but I really love these more as I get older
The 10 voices is raga like & good although the synth sounds a littele cheesy & decending Moonshine dervs is like a more static greyer shri camel - still good with it's own strange atmosphere
'foresight' - In the right mood I enjoy this - not typical terry fare
'Atlantis nath' (i have signed!) - a good mix of stuff jazzy piano, beautiful raga vocals - odd stuff
Lazy/day/crocdiles is on my list to buy

after that come scored pieces for other instrumental ensembles, some good some not as successful (avoid anything with george brooks), but my favorite of the recent stuff is still the keyboard works: atlantis nath and moscow conservatory.
a friend of mine is going through his library of live tapes from the 70's -- more dervishes-era archival releases ahead.

I also really like Poppy (just fell asleep to it the other night) and Rainbow In Curved Air. Some real peak experience analog keyboard stuff there.
I was not impressed by Music For The Gift, but hey, it's early work.
I have never heard Shri Camel cause the one time I tried to buy it I got the lame record store cliche of "oh, that's not for sale"...

xp: Music for the Gift finds Riley cutting/looping Chet Baker, but it's Jazz, not R&B. Maybe the closest thing would be some far-out Ron Hardy edit??? Or Reich's Come Out?

adam: for pop music turned into trancey minimalism, you want to check out Carl Stone. especially his new album 'Al Noor': http://www.sequenza21.com/cdreviews/?p=242 -- the track 'L'Os à Moelle' is a 24 minute beast based on a short garagey 60's loop that sounds like the Byrds, and then he isolates the jangley guitars and uses them to modulate korean folk & classical chord sequences, it is kind of amazing
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5142iyMpLjL._SS500_.jpg
if you've already listened to Shri Camel so many times you've worn it out, this is a good performance. it is live, not 16-channel multitrack layered, but it's the same yamaha microtonal organ sound and the packaging is beautiful
― Milton Parker, Thursday, 8 May 2008 18:49 (fifteen years ago) link
Agreed, the packaging on the Elision Fields stuff is simple but lovely. I just got the above mentioned 'The Last Camel In Paris' at the weekend and enjoyed it on its inaugural spin.
― krakow, Thursday, 8 May 2008 21:02 (fifteen years ago) link
seconding the stone al-noor recommendation. it's such a fun album. i also like that stone won't say even who the obvious samples are, like aqua, saying "just listen and figure it out." that psych sample used in 'L'Os à Moelle' is on the tip of my tongue but i can't quite figure it out. that's part of what's so brilliant about it, just as it starts to get familiar it pushes in a different direction.

i'm glad for this revive - tracked "you're nogood" down after reading phil's invisible jukebox w/carl craig in the new wire, & have been listening obsessively.
― etc, Thursday, 8 May 2008 23:15 (fifteen years ago) link
the bonus disc on "you're no good" is killer too. i like it better than all night flight and maybe even reed streams.

I hope Elision Fields will put out the Terry Riley/Don Cherry material. That's what I want to see from the archives.
― matinee, Monday, 12 May 2008 02:28 (fifteen years ago) link
oh man, "last camel in paris" is awesome. i don't actually have any other versions of shri camel, mind you, but the playing is insane. it's like harpsichord speed metal right in yr BRRRAAIN.
― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Thursday, 5 June 2008 11:45 (fifteen years ago) link
and track 10, the weird modulating low tones it starts off with are just insane.

http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com/2007/01/yamaha-yc45d.html -- modified for microtonal intervals
if you like 'last camel in paris' then don't wait too long to pick up 'shri camel'. 'last camel' being a live album, you can concentrate on the virtuosity, but just imagine him multitracking those arpeggios into so many layers that you stop keeping track and just surrender

― Ich Ber ein Binliner (Tom D.), Thursday, 27 November 2008 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link
I love "In C," but it's all I've heard. I suppose Curved Air, Koln & In Night Flight are where I should look next?

"He doesn't get anything like the credit he deserves"
On the contrary, he gets just the right amount. Minimalism is very much accepted, "In C" as in the 'canon' as contemporary classical music is likely to get but by not engaging too much with classical institutions (unlike Reich or Glass) to create, say, operatic works, he has maintained a degree of credibility.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 27 November 2008 19:04 (fifteen years ago) link
Which of the dozen "In C"'s?
Huge PLUS with Amazon: there are a few "In C"'s you can buy for 99 cents each..an entire 40+ minute file.

I was listening to Poppy No Good this morning and my sister made snide remarks.
― ian, Thursday, 27 November 2008 20:43 (fifteen years ago) link
When I picked this up, I'd assumed T.Riley was some sort of electronic forebear, due to what had been said about him. (Also, a jocular remark by Andy Partridge on one of those SFX tapes many years ago)...
When it started, I thought of Metal Machine Music, and wondered if that Zeitkracker version was anything like this.
Then I got into it (man), and had a relaxing morning.
Funny how side one ends, like the bloke doing the mastering just stopped the tape with his finger, and started the mastering of side 2 by releasing the tape himself.
― Mark G, Friday, 28 November 2008 15:20 (fifteen years ago) link
He was an electronic forebear. A minimalist pioneer. A sampling pioneer. Many other things as well.
― dan selzer, Friday, 28 November 2008 15:59 (fifteen years ago) link
In C is to me one of his least intersting works. Poppy Nogood / All Night Flight is da bomb tho
― baaderonixx, Friday, 28 November 2008 16:17 (fifteen years ago) link
In C feels more like an exercise than something worth listening to.

don't listen to the In C haters, it's wonderful. The '68 one is the least "out" really but it's probably the best place to start.
