AGP121 is the second of two featuring works by the influential American composer Lukas Foss. These works from the late 1970s show even clearer minimalist tendencies than those in AGP120, again with more complex harmonies than in the works of the leading minimalists of that time. The String Quartet No. 3 sounds like something Steve Reich might have written if he had been a serial killer. In places, it reminds me of George Crumb's Black Angels for amplified string quartet. The transcription was generally successful, but not surprisingly had some tracking distortion during the dense, loud conclusion at the end of the LP side.

The installment includes a PDF file with scans of the liner notes from all LPs transcribed in this installment and AGP120.
