NOTES : These are raw rips (no Dolby) of my cassette masters, warts and all. There are lots of hiss and sonic anomalies, due to the types of tapes used and the variable quality of the FM reception.
Track 03 contains a patch from Boulez's version [@ 0.14>0.28].
Tracks 10 & 11 have been seeded on Dime, from digital broadcasts :
