This amazing 76min cd contains Ehlers' complete "Plays" vinyl, originally released on Staubgold and the Dutch Bottrop-Boy label. Staubgold released the mini lps "Plays Albert Ayler", "Plays John Cassavetes" and "Plays Hubert Fichte" while the 7" singles "Plays Robert Johnson" and "Plays Cornelius Cardew" came out on Bottrop-Boy.
"The 'Plays' series deals with 'reference'", explains Ehlers. "Everyone is sampling; sampling is the figure of historic devices in digital music. My idea is not to sample, but to refer to historic places and figures. An artist and educator based in Frankfurt, Ehlers recorded his first works for Mille Plateaux and its offshoot Ritornell in 1998, as part of the Autopoieses duo with Sebastien Meissner. Since then he has used the aliases Auch and Betrieb (for Force Inc and Klang Elektronik respectively), and teamed up with Albrecht Kunze in the group März.
