As a leading light of the Austrian electronic scene of the past twenty-odd years, who is closely associated with the jazz and improv scene while at the same time forging a second career as producer in all sorts of genres, all the way to indie guitar bands, Patrick Pulsinger seems ideally placed to spot up and coming talent before anybody else will. Little surprise then, that he should have been asked to curate the Vienna Popfest in 2013 or indeed to compile this extraordinary album.
As was to be expected from an open musical mind such as his, Pulsinger brings together four entirely different acts, each of them standing for a unique pop vision, allowing them enough space to present their work in a balanced way. The artists were allowed to choose their three pieces by themselves.
