Thanks a lot Greg!
Hey, where did you found that music? Is an official exit or a bootleg?
I search music of Richard Maxfield for years and a few months I found (after a research very hard) the split Maxfield/Budd.
But this post is… much more than this!
If this one exist as release I MUST HAVE this :)
awesome. thanks!
What a wonderful resource! Thanks for sharing. Any discographical information you can provide about these tracks would be welcome.
I’m so sorry to stumble across this now, too late – the megaupload link leads only to an FBI warning. I’ve been fascinated by Maxfield’s music since I got the Columbia/Odyssey “Music of our Time” record with his “Night Music”, Steve Reich’s “Come Out”, and Pauline Oliveros’ “I of IV” when I was in high school – one of the most influential albums I ever encountered, for sure! After that, there’s the reissued material on New World (“Oak of the Golden Dreams”, split with Harold Budd) and one track on the Ohm compilation …. but that’s all I’ve ever found. You list several other pieces above and it would be fascinating to hear these; is it too late to upload them to some other site for distribution?
As with the previous comment I have a fascination with Maxfield esp. after reading the Cage Bio Roaring Silence where he talks about working on the fontana mix with Maxfield. Please do us the favor of moving this compilation to mediafire.
Just stumbled on the site today while looking for Maxfield piece Amazing Grace that I really wanted a friend to hear. Really looking forward to digging into your compilations.
Re-up’d!

URGH. Not sure what that is about — will fix asap.
hi jefre, any luck with re-upping this one?
Jefre, I’ve been refreshing your page for a few days with the same question :). Hope you get a chance to soon. Thanks!
“Invalid or Deleted File.” Even for the interview link. Bahhhh. I’ve been looking for much of this this stuff for years.
Ok, all set. Hopefully this time the files will stick around longer!
