Fennesz – Plays

Robert Lippok: If I remember correctly, I bought the 7inch at A-Musik in Cologne after Rashad Becker drew my attention to it. They are cover versions or rather free interpretations of »Paint It Black« (The Rolling Stones) and »Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder)« by the Beach Boys. The result is two corroded, 8-bit harmony cluster miniatures that form a link between the early and later work of Christian Fennesz.The pieces were a breaking point to something new. They float and are at the same time floor-deep.
