Yep.  I've recently (within the past year) heard the original version
of Ballet mecanique (MUCH better than the revision).  One of the most
extraordinary pieces of this century.  I'm not a big fan of the later,
Stravinskian Antheil, but this is one of those great might-have-beens
of music.  Stravinsky once mused about the course of Western Music had
Gesualdo's output been more widely circulated.  I wonder the same thing
if Antheil had persisted in this vein.

I intend to do a fuller review.  I'm months and months behind in my
writing, so I can't say when it might appear.
