This most important collection of music in the history of ICTUS Records, is a celebration for the 30th anniversary of the birth of one of the first independent labels of the 70’s, a tribute to all great artists that made ICTUS exist, just for the love of music.
Comprised of duos, trios, orchestras and numerous configurations in between featuring musicians like Steve Lacy, Anthony Coleman, Evan Parker, John Zorn, Tom Cora, John Carter, Gianluigi Trovesi, Derek Bailey, and the Rova Saxophone Quartet among others; the music here is immediate whether recorded 1976 or 2005.
ICTUS’ extremely limited, outstandingly lavish 12-CD box-set, further pushes limits of musical subject matter, and boundaries of conceptual package, as recently re-defined by Revenant Records’ release of Albert Ayler’s “Holy Ghost” and NotTwo’s issue of “Alchemia” by Vandermark 5. This beautifully realized set includes 12 separate CDs, housed together in a one-of-its-kind unique box. Each volume of the set comes with its own custom designed plastic-free package and a very comprehensive booklet with many personal insights from ICTUS’ creator. Rare pictures and essays from acclaimed critics, compliment the whole set. Here for the first time, all of the tracks are presented in their original order and length, and are fully digitally re-mastered, which allows the listener to enjoy them in their original un-compromised beauty.
