LP version. David Borden, born Christmas Day, 1938, in Boston, Massachusetts, is an American minimalist composer and electronic music pioneer. He was one of the first people to beta test Bob Moog's modular synthesizer systems. His Earthquack Records imprint inspired Mimi Johnson to found the legendary Lovely Music, Ltd. With Robert Ashley. He formed the first all-synthesizer ensemble, Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Company, in 1969. If there were ever a missing link in American minimalism, Borden is it. Music for Amplified Keyboard Instruments is his masterpiece, released in 1981 to little fanfare on the now-defunct Dutch label Red Records. As it's reputation has grown, most listeners have had to settle for compressed YouTube clips and poor vinyl-to-digital transfers, with original copies increasingly rare and expensive. Now, 34 years after it's original release, Spectrum Spools presents the first reissue of Music for Amplified Keyboard Instruments, after recovering in Borden's private archives the only known safety master. Music for Amplified Keyboard Instruments contains four pieces, each utilizing three players and six keyboard instruments. "Etsy Point, Summer 1978" begins with a mournful, ominous mood and slowly blossoms into an immense, humid labyrinth of colorful, buzzing textures and howling melodies. "The Continuing Story of Counterpoint" is a 12-part cycle for synthesizers, acoustic instruments, and voice, upon which Borden labored for over 11 years. Parts nine and six, included here, are miraculous achievements in prodigious playing technique, remarkable mosaic-like structure, and aural magnitude, operating in the relative terrain of Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians and Terry Riley's Dervishes pieces. The "Counterpoint" pieces here are rigidly arranged with breakneck key changes and intricate time signature maneuvering. The resulting audio conjures kaleidoscopic patterns of beautiful melodies and compositional anatomy unparalleled in much of American minimalism. "Enfield in Winter" displays some of Borden's more ambient leanings, with slow, morphing drones and gentle pad sounds that erupt into shimmering patterns backed by a grandiose chord progression. Music for Amplified Keyboards represents a veritable zenith in Borden's corpus; a radiant achievement in sonic elegance, experimentation, and ambitious composition technique, and a work of the highest archival significance. Music for Amplified Keyboard Instruments was remastered with love and transparency by Giuseppe Tillieci at EnissLab, Rome. These newly remastered works are superior to the original vinyl master, giving the world a chance to hear this remarkable work in the highest possible fidelity across multiple formats. Includes extensive liner notes and photos by Borden.

Goes on plentiful, but doesn't stay.
I enjoyed this glitter when I first applied it, but it falls off even if you use lotion or something to stick it to your face. It would be great to use as pixi dust, but not for facial glitter. I use a more dense glitter for my face to make sure it shows up. I use it in my hair, and that stays for a while, but it takes a lot to show up/ The containers are cute though and don't get clogged. There is no scent to it, which I am happy about because I did not want scent.

My only issue is, it come off fast. Other than that, this is exactly what I was looking for. I recommend putting on some type of lotion or maybe even some Vaseline given something to stick to.

Fun, easy and quality
These little bottles are adorable. The glitter comes out without a mess. If using on hair for a devotation use hair glue to make the design. Otherwise, the simple sweet lite glitter touch finishes a style nicely.

love love loved it
I am now 55 years old and i love shinny stuff, so i decided I wanted glitter for my hair. I found this and am in love. It is very fine glitter and it just goes on my hair every so subtly. It catches the sun just right and i sparkle just like my personality. Not too much too look crazy just enough to look nice. Looks good on the arms and legs too for a night of dancing.
