Serving as a masterful homage to the artists he meticulously samples, this brilliant avant-garde project is constructed entirely via the physical manipulation of vinyl records. Christian Marclay cuts, loops, and distorts the music of iconic figures like Maria Callas, Jimi Hendrix, and Louis Armstrong into deeply surreal, chaotic sound collages. The album proved that the turntable could function entirely as an improvisational, compositional instrument.
