Culture Break: Terry Riley: Poppy Nogood and the Phantom Band

OK, so it's Terry Riley Week. It could be a lot worse -- I could be feeding you a combination of Balinese gamelan and hard-core serial minimalism.

This one's from the Rainbow in Curved Air CD. Couldn't find a live performance on YouTube (and it's unbelievable how few videos there are of Riley live), so you get to listen without visuals.


Yes, of course he's one of my favorites.
