Relying heavily on the Moog and later the Synclavier synth\/sampler, these 21 tracks document Nikolais' highly-prescient compositions across the mid-1960s through to the late 1980s - existing not only as extensions of his other-worldly choreographic pieces, but standalone pieces of foundational mid-century American electronic and experimental music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevels: Dance III (1986)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTen Legs: Dance I (1989)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Organ: Dance II (1980)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical Organ: Dance IV (1980)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrail Demons: Dance I (1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTribe: Dance I (1975)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePierrot: Dance II (1986)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlank on Blank: Excerpt I (1987)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePierrot: Dance III (1986)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviary: Dance I (1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviary: Dance II (1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraph: Overture (1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChimera: Dance I (1966)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyx: Excerpt (1976)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGallery: Overture (1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrail Demons: Dance II (1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAviary: Dance III (1978)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGraph: Dance III (1984)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContact: Excerpt (1985)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlank on Blank: Excerpt II (1987)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrucible: Excerpt (1985)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alwin Nikolais","offers":[{"title":"2LP \/ Black","offer_id":45812619083967,"sku":"DEATH130LP-BK","price":52.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/5050580877221.jpg?v=1783280608","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/alwin-nikolais-electronic-dance-music-1966-1989-2lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
