In Reply to: I was getting worried - no Stockhausen Babe recordings for a couple of years posted by Chris from Lafayette on May 14, 2015 at 11:29:55:
Circa 1970 when I was an undergraduate student, I attended a New Years Eve party at the home of married friends whose toddling son was sleeping in his bedroom, while good LPs of jazz and rock were spinning in the background.
The child was sound asleep until -- ridicule dictu -- one rude guest played a recording of Stockhausen. The little one woke and began to wail. He wanted mommy to stop using her vacuum cleaner!
Stockhausen: don't try this at home :)
