Note About Shipping To The U.S.
We are located in Canada, but have registered ourselves on eBay.com instead of eBay.ca because it gives us significantly better global exposure.  The problem with this is that eBay wants us to charge shipping appropriate to US, where media mail and other options make for fairly reasonable delivery costs. We tried it for a while but ended up losing money on shipping or having to cancel the orders because we couldn't afford to ship for those rates. To manage this we have set the US shipping to run a calculator based on an American location (we chose Plattsburgh as fairly close) and charging according to UPS pricing.  This avoids the cancellation issue, but can appear to the buyer to be a prohibitive shipping cost and misrepresents the shipping as being only expedited. If you give us your postal code we will see if we can offer a more reasonable option, but generally we can get a single LP by air to most places in the continental US for $11, a double $16, a few bucks less for ground. If you pay for the item and the shipping was less than you paid we will refund you the difference
Thanks for shopping Sir Helmitt,

Steve Reich

Drumming

Steve Reich and Musicians 

Elektra/Nonesuch 9_79170-1 1987 12" 33rpm (Canada)

This piece represents a great achievement in the Minimalist approach to writing music. Fresh from studying African drumming, Reich took an entire year to write and revise this masterpiece. It builds on and extends the idea of a single rhythmic pattern played at changing tempos that he explored in earlier tape pieces. Here he develops the idea of 'hidden' or emerging rhytms (playing two different patterns and noticing what third pattern seems to grow from the other two). It is a fascinating piece in that it seems so mechanical in conception and execution but as the patterns weave in and out of one another, building and creating various counterpoints and overtones, an entire more human dimension seems to emerge. You do have to pay attention to it. It seems like background music but it isn't.
