Miniatures – A sequence of fifty-one tiny masterpieces edited by Morgan Fisher. Excellent compilation album of well known and unknown artists active in various underground scenes of 1980, presenting an at times funny abstract minimal experimental album. “In 1980: Invitations were sent out to a highly personal selection of creative artists, asking them to contribute pieces of not more than one minute`s duration, to what has turned out to be this extraordinarily eclectic album.” Miniatures was released on vinyl by Pipe (Pipe 2) in 1980.
