the father of electronic music in 1944 through his electronically
manipulated “Ta’beer Al-Zaar”, aka “Wire Recorder Piece” which invoked
sound that invited the ancient spirit world. He started composing when
he was 11, using cluster sound against melodic materials. Halim El-Dabh
is an international composer who has taught at Kent State University,
Howard University, and Haile Selassie University. He has traveled the
world for research, composing and performance".

Based on this NPR story (Turn It Down: Morton Feldman's Silent Revolution), I looked for a copy of this piece on eMusic, found this one for a mere 99 cents. There are several other versions at more traditional pricing.
Neil Young - After the Goldrush, followed by Harvest, then Harvest Moon. It is amazing how many albums from this era you can play whilst in the car for two hours!
I might have picked up this album first. Alas, it's not in it's spot and sadly...misplaced (for now) Thanks again to that YouTube.
Ps. Wow, this took me back to a time. Just starting my 30's....I just had that same feeling again! If you have a half hour to spare this is a really terrific listen.
