was happy to talk to Geeta last night about Branca but need the usual caveat that the Theoretical Girls CD on Acute only features the songs written by Jeffrey Lohn.
That being said, regarding career spanning compilations, the Atavistic release Branca Songs 77-80 includes the Static material and a chunk of what he wrote for the Theoretical Girls.

He could be ferociously defensive of his musical innovations, and tales of his irascibility were not uncommon. But his stubbornness helped continually move his music forward
