Kuhzunft - Achim Zepezauer - Slotmachine

A slotmachine concept of permutation in the actual process. Achim who is the man behind the idea gives us a white knuckle ride through moods, mods, tweaks, genres and concepts by giving us to choose from the artists so diverse that I will put the actual track listing

It feels like a slotmachine itself but since the conceptual nature of this work is highlighted - the actual modus operandi is our own choice and the attentive process of listening - it pushes the listener to either shrug it off, skim it or scan-listen for the most interesting pieces. Fortunately the choice is not so easy which means that you need to listen couple of times.

It's also great because the 30 track compilation(?) is a reference material of different aspects of the ever-flowing, ever-changing currents and undercurrents of modern composition trends with flips and flops. And quite non-challantly combined into an interesting piece.
