theremin: check! next: ondes martenot

So apparently this was pretty prominent in Thomas Adès's Exterminating Angel.

This has made me want to listen to Roly Porter's Aftertime - a great lumbering beast of a record, full of ondes martenot.

Ondes player Christine Ott has a new album that's really good: RIYL old Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, etc. I wrote about it yesterday.

Nadia Ratsimandresy & Matteo Ramon Arevalos: "Messiaen Et Autour De Messiaen For Onde Martenot And Piano": https://www.discogs.com/Nadia-Ratsimandresy-Matteo-Ramon-Arevalos-Messiaen-Et-Autour-De-Messiaen-For-Onde-Martenot-And-Piano/release/2379659

I bought this a few years ago, played it once in the background and didn't think much of it, put it on the shelf, then pulled it out again earlier this year and had a close listen and was absolutely blown away by it...especially the two stunning Messiaen pieces from "Quartet for the End of Time" that bookend the album.

ReR Megacorp has it as part of their £5 sale: https://www.rermegacorp.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=8dfe039326ef792e8cbae11c36dc5e35&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=&Product_Code=ReROM1&Store_Code=RM
