Flac,cue, logs and full covers and booklets
From the cerebral transcendentalism of the ur-american Ives and the pseudo-neo-classical reveries of Menotti, through the pre-cinematographic fragrance of Duke(lsky) and the immigration modernism of Copland, we arrive at Carter's aphonic overflow and discover that in less than fifty years we toured the most iridiscent artistic, philosophical and social currents of a melting pot nation like no other. Enjoy!
