referencing Music For 18 Musicians, LP, Album, ECM 1129

It's quite a shame that the music doesn't fit on one side of the record. The piece is composed by combining musical loops, performed by 18 musicians on acoustical instruments. The way these loops interact results in a deeply mesmerizing soundscape. Having to turn the record in the middle of the performance may be quite annoying. My advice would be to get it on cd.

Due to the nature of the composition the piece may be of particular interest to those who are into deep loopy techno.
