Second volume of this excellent but slightly misleadingly titled compilation series from Sub Rosa. Edition 2 features an exclusive/previously unreleased Autechre track 'Bronchus 1' from 1991 - an alternate version of the track on 'Incunabula'. A second chronology of pioneering sound artists covering 1936 to the present day. Includes early pre-electronic music from Percy Grainger and Johanna M. Beyer, rare and unpublished pieces by leading electronic composers such as Vladimir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, the genius Tod Dockstader, Morton Subotnik, Hugh Davis and Luc Ferrari (amazing music). Previously unreleased tracks from musicians who are part of the cornerstone of the modern electronic scene, including Scanner, Kim Cascone, and Yoshihiro Hanno, plus acid techno contributions from Woody Mcbride and Choose, industrial sounds by Laibach and SPK, a rare 1965 track from Sun Ra, and an even more obscure 1969 offering from Captain Beefheart. An essential electronic music document, full of detail and perfectly realised. Twenty one tracks. File next to Volume 1 plus the 'Ohm' 3CD set on Ellipsis Arts and the 'Vintage Volts' CD on Caipirinha. Essential music.
