referencing Highlights Of Vortex (LP, Repress) FSS 6301

Given how aimless these types of recordings can be, for such an early collection of "music" written for a variety of non-conventional instruments, this one is actually pretty tame and quite easy to listen to. It's still bonkers and really doesn't fit any sort of environment or mood. It's best as a curiosity and a pretty cool album to own if you're into weird sound experiments from the 1950s (which I certainly am... in small doses).
