Listening with modern ears, used to an unusual range of pre-recorded sounds being utilised in composition and recording, I'm almost fooled into thinking this piece is dependent on the character of the samples for its musical form, whereas this piece would have the same nature using entirely different source material, the form and technique is its nature, not the sounds used.
This performance has a humourous range of samples, played beautifully, the recording was okay for the time, and the disc is well mastered and pressed.
