Special discounted Bundle. Representing three of the most essential and sought-after works within the canon of 20th Century avant-garde composition, this bundle brings together Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien No.1 / Société II, Mauricio Kagel's Acustica, and Tōru Takemitsu's Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden in a single offering. Originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon between 1970 and 1980, out of print on vinyl for decades, all three now return as deluxe limited editions - each fully remastered and recut from the original 1/2 inch analog tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney Claire Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios, and housed in a die-cut slipcase with newly commissioned liner notes by Bradford Bailey.

Unquestionably among the most exciting reissues of 2026!
