Russian Futurism, vol 3 [Arte Nova 48722] $8.99 2/cd set

Mosolov, "Iron Foundry" Ballet [Russian Season 288149] $6.99

I'm going to order these wild men on well recorded super-budget Arte Nova (BMG) before they disappear for ever. they're on sale at cdnow for $9/per 2 cd set. Can't go wrong. Arte Nova is already hard to get in the USA. I've never heard this stuff, but some of it must be good.

I was looking for Mosolov's acid-classical ballet "Iron Foundry" over on cdnow. Found this budget disc. "Foundry" is supposed to be another
highly representative of the post-Le Sacre/Futurist style: wild.

Also, the we must mention the original 'bad boy' (that's exactly what they called him) of music - George Antheil. His insane "Ballet Mecanique" is available on cd. Additionally, his wild piano music has been recorded: The "Airplane" Piano Sonata, and the "Death Of The Machines" Sonatina.
