A very good question... but there are practical issues as well as artistic issues...
First of all the amount of work that goes into recording a "project" of challenging contemporary music is huge... Let alone the money... Check out the rates at some professional recording studios... the cost of a real producer (their easily as much as the studio costs in total)... someone like Ray Dillard who has recorded many quality percussion CDs with the likes of Nexus and Nancy Zeltsman... Doesn't work for free and is paid in addition to the hourly rates you would pay the recording studio ;)
Secondly perhaps the artistic focuses have changed and the interpretation would be different... The hard work has already been done and the end result should be available the those who want to purchase it...
I would re-open the idea... www.Marimba.org would be a perfect place to host online support, which could be used to pressure Sony into re-issuing this recording...
The annoying thing is, once you have made the "glass master" of the CD it costs literally the cost of a packet of peanuts to reproduce them...
Given the right push Sony may see an opportunity to make some money here... It's not like this recording is a first outing for a young musician who has got his "buddies" at college to write him some marimba pieces... There are some high profile names Richard Rodney Bennett and Jacob Druckman... I rest my case...
Over to you Nat....
