History of Electronic / Electroacoustic Music (1937-2001)

This is from a 62 CD set called "The History of Electroacoustic Music" that was floating around as a torrent, reputedly curated by a Portugese student. It's sketchy. The torrent vanished and the collection has long been unavailable. 

It's a clearly flawed selection: there's no women and almost no one working outside of the Western tradition (where are the Japanese? Chinese? etc.). However, as an effort, it's admirable and contains a ton of great stuff. Take it with a grain of salt, or perhaps use it as a provocation to curate a more intelligent, inclusive, and comprehensive selection.
