… and “Terrains Vagues” for those who like experimental rhythmic music and metronomes and accordians.

(I haven’t yet had time to watch the video.)

Spell is one of the earliest examples of European minimalism (1973), and Voyage Into the Golden Screen (1969) strikes me as a proto-Spectral work before Murail or Grisey. The Langgaard work he discusses is an extraordinarily prescient composition.
