There were only 25 original copies and they go for £1,500 https://gerrishfineart.com/product/poppy-nogoods-all-night-flight-the-first-ascent/ Blog The Hum describes the music as "... It is beautiful psychedelic droning swirl of delayed saxophone lines, and organ, and completely engrossing." https://blogthehum.com/2016/02/25/terry-rileys-poppy-nogoods-all-night-flight-the-first-ascent-from-sms-3/ https://www.dailymotion.com/video/xx63yc #TerryRiley #Minimalism #Music #ReeltoReel #AvantGarde

Ended Thursday and welcomed Friday after a walk with Persian Surgery Dervishes a recording of two live solo electric organ concerts, the first held in Los Angeles on 18 April 1971 and the second in Paris on 24 May 1972, by the avant-garde minimalist composer Terry Riley On Persian Surgery Dervishes Riley plays a Yamaha electric organ Andy Beta of Pitchfork explained: "With only an electric organ and Riley’s “time-lag” accumulator (a reel-to-reel that played back loops of his improvisations), Dervishes is four sides of oozing drones, percolating virtuosic soloing, and undulating waves of bliss. It’s layered so as to suggest spellbinding Islamic tile patterns, lava lamp globes, and infinity itself." - Wikipedia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqQ59i4PmGE&list=RDsqQ59i4PmGE&start_radio=1 #TerryRiley #Minimalism #Ambient #Organ #Music #Drone #Bliss
