Phil Kline debuts a major work, Around the World in a Daze, on this surround sound DVD. The 65-minute studio composition was commissioned by Starkland specifically for high-resolution surround sound and to premiere on DVD.

Reviews in over a dozen publications such as The New York Times, Stereophile, and The New Yorker have called this DVD "sensational... ear-opening adventures... extraordinary" and much more.

This ambitious project DVD offers boombox choirs, an ethereal Ethel quartet, a weird madrigal, a tidal wave of hyper-dense bells, multi-tracked vocals, Todd Reynolds violinistics, and an immersive environment of 15,000 African gray parrots. The custom‑designed digipak includes an Extras disc with a composer-produced music video and a 34-minute interview with Kline and John Schaefer.

Two years in the making, Amy X Neuburg's The Secret Language of Subways CD consists of intricately composed, multiple layers of cellos topped by Amy’s distinctive and striking vocals; the songs range from intimate art-song ballads to electronics-based pop to Dadaist meanderings to lush symphonic arrangements.

"Neuburg's new song cycle teeters beguilingly on the boundary between pop and avant-garde performance art, and to hear it complete and in sequence is to marvel at the grace and elegance with which Neuburg walks that tightrope."
- San Francisco Chronicle

In MinMax’s Mordake CD, Erling Wold’s chamber opera tells the story of young Edvard Mordake, a man of high birth, secreted away in his apartments due to his disfigurement: a woman’s face on the back of his head. The title role is sung by John Duykers, an internationally acclaimed tenor, whose most celebrated role was Mao Zedong in the world-premiere of John Adams’ Nixon in China. Wold has been hailed as “the Eric Satie of Berkeley surrealist/minimalist electro-art rock” by the Village Voice.
