A Rainbow in Curved Air
Terry Riley
ElectronicRiley playing every overdubbed keyboard layer himself, building a loop that just keeps climbing — this is where minimalism stopped being academic and started grooving. The title track is the whole reason to own it: eighteen-plus minutes of organ and electric harpsichord spiraling without ever repeating the same way twice. "Poppy Nogood" on the flip is stranger, druggier, worth the patience.
