Anestis Logothetis, '„Hör!-Spiel”, Nekrologlog 1961, Fantasmata 1960+' [CP-037]

i have a stipulation in my concert-rider that reads thusly: ‘If the promoters of the show take me to a record store wherein I find one of my personal “Holy Grail” LPs for a reasonable price, I will perform that evening for free. Because of this, people are always asking me about my “Holy Grail” records and offering advice (“French & German electronic music from the 50s through 70s? You mean J.M. Jarre & Tangerine Dream?”, or “Pierre Henry? have you heard this really obscure one; ‘Messe Pour le Fin du Temps?’” or my personal favorite: “Is Lego Feet one of them? Because I have a CD-R of a dupe of a copy that I can burn for you...”)

You can probably guess what a couple of them are; ”Electronic Panorama”, Karel Appel’s “Musique Barbare”, Paul Panhuysen & Johan Goedhart’s “Long String Installations”, “Electronic Music From York”, the self-released Desmond Leslie 10”, Paul Boisselet’s “Robot”, Parmegiani’s “Chants Magnetiques”, etc... but right up there in the top 3 is this obscure gem: Anestis Logothetis’ “„Hör!-Spiel” Necrologlog 1961 Fantasmata 1960”. Said LP, originally “pressed on behalf of the musical youth of Austria” in 1975, consists of two text-sound pieces from 1971/1961 and an absolute monster of an early tape-piece: the side-long “Fantasmata 1960.” This was composed, you guessed it, in 1960 in the “Institut Für Elektroakustik Der Musikhochschule In Wien".

This second revision includes the entirety of Logothetis' Amadeo "Österreichische Musik Der Gegenwart" LP on a second disc, including the pieces "Anastasis"(performed by Siegfrieds Behrend & Fink), "Wellenformen", and "Styx".

Many many thanks for posting! I grabbed today the reissue containing only Horl Spiel, Nekrologlog and Fantasmata. So, I'm a bit confused, which track is playing around 1:00:00? I'm in desperate need of the text!
