"Much of Oliveros's aesthetic is best understood as
environment, areas of aural doldrums providing momentary and slightly
queasy resting points, like the requisite standing back from a massive
architectural work to take in the whole before venturing back in. In To Valerie Solanas and Marilyn Monroe,
the hallmarks of Oliveros's later philosophy and aesthetic are brought
into direct play with politically-charged expressionism. Kudos to
Minneapolis-based Roaratorio Records for uncovering such a significant
work, a piece of music that will probably scare the living shit out of
you. Valerie Solanas would be proud." - Clifford Allen, Paris Transatlantic
"...it's beautiful and strange, emotionally articulate,
and I also believe it succeeds as a much less stilted approach to open
composition than Cardew, Cage or Stockhausen. It is truly natural and
unforced organic music, semi-scored and collaborative, making efficient
use of the energy of the musicians she works with."
- Ed Pinsent, The Sound Projector
**** 4 stars : "Oliveros' magnum feminist opus has a
protracted tonal structure comparable to the work of Giacinto Scelsi.
Its tenebrous expressivity is beautifully matched by the cover art..." -

GRADING. Grading is
visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be
conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible
for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY.
MINT means factory
sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new,
out-of-the-packaging clean condition.
NM- is
not NM! Its a grade
above VG++ and below Near
Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are
feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and
usually inaudible.
DISCLAIMER. Due to
the number of frivolous
returns which were
unwarranted, and due to the
nature of sound recorded products that can be easily
copied, there will no
longer be a free return policy. I will charge a
$10.00 return fee for
all returns - this amount will be deducted
from the Paypal refund of the returned
item.
If item is truly
defective the entire purchase
amount
will be refunded as
long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent. ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL
RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***
