Well, since no one else is voting, I went with "Time of Fun Together", the african folk inspired percussion and vocals are really beautiful, and the standout of the album, for me anyway...

Thumbs up

Chorus of Shadows

This is a rather esoteric poll, you must admit!

"Delusion of the Fury" was originally released c. 1972 by Columbia (Sony). Innova Recordings got the rights and reissued it on CD in 1999 (God bless them!)

Now, the Harry Partch Collection, a 4-CD series released in 1997 by CRI is being reissued by New World Records. As you may know, after nearly 50 years of releasing superb modern music, CRI went under in 2002. New World Records, a branch of the non-profit Anthology of Recorded American Music received their catalogue. I'm afraid some of the more obscure CRI releases will never see the light again, but they made sure to release the excellent "Harry Partch Collection." They've released volumes 1 and 2. I assume volumes 3 and 4 will both be out by the next spring, sooner I hope. Here is the original CRI HP collection:

The same could be said of this entire forum!

Well, we're tied. One vote for "Chorus of Shadows," and one vote for "Time of Fun Together." Anybody else want to weigh in on Delusion of the Fury?

Well, this thread was a flop. Still only two votes!

I do my best to turn people on to Harry Partch...I think, if only people could just hear his music...but maybe not.

Well, exposure's always been the primary problem with this sort of music...

...not much that can be done aside from word-of-mouth. (( although the internet has changed things quite a bit... ))
