MEREDITH MONK Turtle Dreams 1983 ECM 1240 1st US Pressing Avant-Garde Minimalism LP Philip Glass
This is Turtle Dreams, Meredith Monk’s 1983 release on ECM Records, documenting her work in minimalism, avant-garde composition, and extended vocal technique. The album features layered voices, piano, winds, and percussion, presented with the spacious, restrained production associated with ECM’s New Music series. This recording sits firmly within the early-1980s experimental classical and minimalist movement often associated with artists like Philip Glass and Steve Reich.
This copy is an original U.S. first pressing, manufactured and distributed by Warner Bros. Records Inc. for ECM Records.
This pressing was mastered by Robert Ludwig (RL) at Masterdisk. Ludwig’s mastering is known for clarity, dynamic range, and precision, and his involvement is a notable detail for collectors of early ECM pressings and audiophile-grade contemporary classical recordings.
