Strange things happen in this brief review of Sony/BMG’s re-release of Terry Riley’s premiere recording of In C (1968).
First, here’s an odd turn of phrase:
Terry Riley's In C (1964), the Magna Carta of Minimalism...
I’m not sure how to read this. In C demands the removal of all fishing weirs in England, except on the coast?
And, yet, an odder turn of phrase with an exclamation point:
A seminal release and a fun listen rolled into one!
Seminal (Oxford American Dictionaries):
1. adj. (of a work, moment, event, figure) strongly influencing later developments.
2. adj. of, relating to, or denoting semen.
Seminal in the first sense: anachronistic. Fun listen: probably not.
In C!
