Sub Rosa presents part 1 of a vast anthology of noise and electronic music to be released during the next years in seven volumes. An Anthology Of Noise & Electronic Music Vol.1 begins in the 1920s, with the Russolo Brothers, and looks at each decade in turn -- Varese, Cage, Schaeffer, Xenakis,the great pioneers -- and shows the first traces of a music that was necessarily revolutionary: electronic music, created from nothing (and hence to be entirely invented).

Some pieces on these CDs are certainly classics, but there are others, which, though old, were distributed informally or never even released. The more contemporary pieces are, wherever possible, previously unreleased. In fact, more than the half of what we listen here is unreleased and unpublished.

This 2 CD set comes with a 36 page booklet with profiles of the musicians and comments on the tracks. Sub Rosa have done an excellent job with packaging and documentation.
