Another pioneer of concrete and Early electronic music composition, Riedl co-founded and became music director of Siemens Studio für elektronische Musik in the nazi homeland of Munich (1956-66)...good to hear that Siemens' massive war profits from slave labour were invested in something worthwhile?
The 'music' on this retrospective has the same problem as most of the Musique Concrete lot,an inate inability to repeat any of the sequences to suggest at least, some, musicality,rather than just piling one noise after another so it becomes more like a sound effects record rather than an articulate piece of modern composition. The dark ambient pieces apart, the stream of funny noises does tend to get on one's proverbial tits somewhat....an accusation that admittedly doesn't just fall at the feet of Herr Riedl.There are many other guilty parties in the early Electronics gang.
Nonetheless there are many atmospheric and interesting works among these 24 tracks worthy of admission into the Electronic Hall Of Fame.
I'd better end it there before I start ranting on about Nazi's ,who's a Nazi, and who isn't a Nazi,again....I'm beginning to sound like an Industrial tape in flesh,but without the tape echo effects!?
However,this doesn't change the fact that without Nazi's there'd be nothing worth watching on TV, and next to nothing to accuse each other of, which would make for a very boring life. 'Nazi-Fatigue is as real a thing as 'Holocaust Fatigue';don't let it get cha!

"next to nothing to accuse each other of"! You have
summed up the age. It's really a lot like the
french revolution of 1789, but that can't be recalled
since "nazi", and now "racist" became THE epithet.
You NAZI man you!.....but i could call you a 'Right Winger' ,which had its origins in the French Revolution....so its not all bad?
Time for a joke:
What position did Hitler play for NASDAP FC?
Ring Winger of course!.....(laugh laugh laugh).
Although some say he was on the left of the 3-d political spectrum...the Nazi's had social programes, where as the russians had socialist pogroms....(laugh Laugh again!)....and what would cutting edge comedy do without Nazi's too?
Heil!
