Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Violinist, composer and filmmaker Tony Conrad started his career in New York in the early 1960s. As a member of the Theater of Eternal Music (AKA The Dream Syndicate) alongside John Cale, La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela and Angus MacLise, he participated in now-legendary and often legendarily loud drone performances with many pieces having no beginning and no end. During a fateful trip to Germany in 1972, Conrad met with avant-rock visionaries Faust and made the very first record to bear his name. Outside The Dream Syndicate, originally released in Europe only in 1973, is a stunning debut. Two side-long tracks - 'The Side Of Man And Womankind' and 'The Side Of The Machine' - show just how far Conrad had moved beyond his minimalist peers. Werner Diermaier's repetitive drum beat and Jean-Hervé Peron's stripped-down bassline conjure a tense, ascetic groove, while Conrad's seamless violin, initially so controlled, reveals a surprising adaptability. The music shifts almost on a subliminal level, pushing and pulling to the drone's internal pulse. It is hard to imagine Conrad's trajectory from downtown Manhattan to a farmhouse in the German countryside that ultimately resulted in Outside The Dream Syndicate, yet no other record captures-so completely and instantly-the intersection of avant-garde and rock forms. Outside The Dream Syndicate remains ahead of and bracingly outside of its time. Include liner notes by musician Jim O'Rourke and author Branden W. Joseph.

Standard black vinyl pressing. Tip-on jacket with silver-foil-stamped text on front cover. Includes double-sided insert with liner notes. Recorded at Wümme, October 1972. ©&? 1973 Tony Conrad. Mastered By and Lacquer Cut By uncredited, derived from runout inscriptions.

"Outside The Dream Syndicate" is a groundbreaking LP that unites the avant-garde sensibilities of Tony Conrad with the experimental prowess of Faust. Originally released in 1973, this album stands as a seminal work in minimalist and drone music, featuring hypnotic violin drones by Conrad interwoven with Faust?s repetitive, motorik rhythms. This collaboration broke new ground for both artists and has since become an essential reference point for fans of experimental soundscapes. Superior Viaduct, known for their meticulous reissues of rare and influential recordings across genres, brings this classic back to vinyl with exceptional attention to detail and fidelity. Tony Conrad was a pioneering figure in minimalism whose innovative approach influenced generations; his partnership here with German krautrock legends Faust?renowned for albums like "Faust IV"?marks one of the most significant cross-continental collaborations in modern music history.
