Track one "furniture" is the old sparse Gang Of Four-ish '87 Ian classic that anyone who has ever been to see Fugazi live a few times is already familiar with.
"Furniture" alone, however, makes this worth the modest price (compared to other CD singles and EP, that typically run [$$]or more for the some amount of music), but it should be noted that like much of Dischord's back catalog of various EPs, it's hardly essential.
In fact, the title track of this 3-song EP ("Furniture") was one of the first songs the band wrote in 1987, exists in it's re-recorded format here.

 classical music - andante - cage: complete piano music, volume 10
This is the tenth and final disc in Dabringhaus und Grimm's wonderful series of recordings of the complete piano music of John Cage, played by the extraordinary and indefatigable Steffen Schleiermacher.
It's fitting, too, that the works on the disc represent moments that are among the earliest and the latest of the composer's career, as well as several from moments in between.
The score is a time plan that shows only which pianist is to play which composer, and when, and for how long — but leaves it to the pianists to choose the excerpts, set the speeds at which they will be played, and choose their dynamic levels.

 Rockford Furniture Industry
In time, the furniture industry came to outrank all others in Rockford from the standpoint of the number of factories and workers employed.
Earlier, however, the panic of 1893 played havoc with Rockford's furniture factories, many of which were cooperatively owned in the Swedish tradition and possessing little capital to withstand financial depression.
Although in its heyday the Rockford furniture industries made dining room and library furniture, music cabinets, mirrors, hall seats, occasional tables and bedroom furniture, it also produced hall or grandfather clocks at the Hanson Clock Manufacturing Co. founded in 1921.

 Tower Recordings : Furniture Music for Evening Shuttles - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
This overlooked '90s New York ensemble spent the first half of the '90s producing some of the most intriguing homespun urban folk recordings of the decade, and released a string of albums that covered corrosive no wave noise, abstract tape experimentation, and inspired delicate melodic folk.
The springboard for the sound they shape as their own is a mixture of ESP folk, British folk revival free jazz, and willful experimentation, and the elements make Furniture Music for Evening Shuttles a distinctive and compelling album.
Obvious points of reference could be the '60s groups Pearls Before Swine and the Fugs, who had a knack of keeping exquisite songs at the core of their outward experimentation and chaotic group jamming.

 Ken Vandermark: Furniture Music   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
If the music worked it was because I and the listener were sustaining an illusion that supplied missing components (a rhythm section for example).
It also didn’t allow me the freedom to move in the directions that the spontaneous playing might indicate, so this was abandoned and no other ideas seemed to lead anywhere that was useful for a period of several years.
By creating a solo music based on “typologies” (borrowing a term used by the Bechers for one of their photo collections) which represented open patterns, I was quickly able to develop a series of workable pieces.

For a sound intended to be comforting, unobtrusive, and inoffensive, "elevator music"---i.e., easy listening, mood music, "Beautiful Music," and "Music by Muzak®"---has ignited strong and often heated opinions.
Elevator Music confronts the criticisms of elites who say that elevator music is "dehumanizing" or less than music.
In a current climate where the noises are louder, and the background beats are ever more aggressive, this history of music intended as a pleasing background makes for a captivating read.

 Flabby Preludes for a Dog: An Erik Satie Primer
It's only a single page of music but it has the instructions "to be repeated 840 times" scrawled on it.
Satie envisioned 1,600,000,000 converts dressed in fl robes and gray hoods defending the Church against attack with armaments consisting of oversized battle swords and medieval lances that were five meters in length.
He began scribbling mysterious directions all over his scores and gave a running commentary of dialogue, puns, and absurdities: to be jealous of one's playmate who has a big head, the war song of the King of Beans, canine song, to profit by the corns on his feet to grab his hoop, and indoors voice.
