Oh, yes, I've been getting those Organ of Corti releases
"the moment" they come out.  There's a particularly
interesting rock-flavoured version of In C on one of
them.

I have a very depressing version of In C played in China
where the orchestra is very enthusiastic though a bit 
clumsy -- however, the liner notes then tell you that
they were all rounded up and disappeared afterwards,
very very sad.
