3LP Box Set Featuring Reich's Recordings for ECM!
Sourced from the Original Analog Master Tapes!

Compiling "some of the minimalist composer's finest works, including the definitive recording of his undisputed masterpiece 'Music for 18 Musicians'" (Pitchfork), Recordings on ECM comprises the three Steve Reich albums that were released on the label between 1978-1982, presented as facsimile editions housed in a high-quality cardboard box with a booklet containing photos from the archives and liner notes by Paul Griffiths. Sourced from the original analogue master tapes, these vinyl editions authentically re-introduced the listener to recordings that have since become staples in contemporary music. The works included on these three albums are Music for 18 Musicians, Octet, Music for a Large Ensemble, Violin Phase and Tehilim, tracing the influential early creative period of the composer and his development over the course of fifteen years. The box set arrives on the occasion of Reich's 90th birthday in October 2026.
