In addition i have included: a live recording of the only seven voice piece I&#39;ve done, Acres Rare Meet; an alternate version of Dada Lama, previously unreleased; the first adequate realization of my composition Cosmic piece for Orchestra &amp; Chorus; and the only remaining unrecorded single voice text from the 60&#39;s - Ballads Of The Restless Are. In the seventies I put the bulk of my energy in sound into composing for &amp; with the Four Horsemen. In the single voice pieces the interest began to shift toward the more narrative &amp; prose-based concerns evident in the most recent compositions on this tape, Interupted Nap &amp; Art In Upheaval. This cassette is dedicated to Steve McCaffery, my partner in the C rimes in both the Toronto Research Group &amp; the Four Horsemen. bpNichol, Toronto, January 1982 <br /> <br /> Dada Lama was recorded at CBC Studios (Toronto) circa 1969 <br /> The Alphabet Game was recorded at CBC Studios (Toronto) circa 1972 <br /> Acres Rare Meet was recorded live in Toronto, October 1977 <br /> All others were recorded at the studios of T.R.G.
