April 2025 release; wonderful, late-stage discovery of three LPs issued by Heinz-Wilfried Burow (aka. Paul Leslie) on his Mediadisc imprint of (selectively) Avant-Electronic pieces for various Flutes, Synthesizers, and "Live-Elektronik" flourish performed by flautist Helmut W. Erdmann as recorded during the mid-late-80s. 

Much like the format/tracklisting of Klaus Hashagen "Percussion und Elektronik" ([CP 174 CD]) set, the first "Neue Musik Für Flöte(n)" volume (MD 2015) features a side-length work, "Dodeci Pezzi - Für Flöte Und Live-Elektronik (Entstanden 1985 in Olevano/Rom)" that meshes quite virtuosic flurries of increasingly difficult/bizarre sine-tone phraseology with realtime Electronic Interference, paving the way for the B-side's extended "Hommage A Telemann (1981) - Für Flöten Und Live-Elektronik".

The successive Burow/Erdmann collaborative LP, "Imaginations I" (MD 2018) by all appearances could believably work the more placid/nuage end of things but is in fact an experiment in merging live flute playing over ostinato & arpeggiated synth timbres in a manner that could only rightfully be described as "Proto Acid" - it's a wonderful set that avoids the exact sort of genre-trappings that would normally put such an affair on the European Grey-Area press-blitz reissue-program radar, which is in effect why its such a perfect C.P. candidate. 

Finally, the second "Neue Musik Für Flöte(n)" set (MD 2021) playfully renders many original Erdmann solo flute works real alongside those by Helmut Bieler & Peter Hoch; while aligning itself firmly within the "Performer's Repertoire" lane, it offers many twists & turns that grant the listener a unique window into Erdmann's particular aesthetic. 

Wonderful edition, working the more recent "Three-Lane" format (overviews of the original LP covers/labels/rears on the outside, detail of the latters on the inside) while condensing everything conveniently onto two discs. This is a great, late-stage example of exactly the sort of records waiting out in the wilds for such a reapparaisal.

PS. I've long held the belief that; as the series' initial ca. 2005 purview-focus of "1948-1984" itself becomes 20 years old, that we could just as easily push the latter-end of the date-spectrum forward an appropriate amount of notches. This set's later material (recorded & issued at the cusp of the 90s by my estimation) furthers this idea beautifully...
