Basically they have this 'We turn the meaning of 'Economy' (read Cheap) into
more Value (Quality) slogan at the moment ... I hate translating from German.
So.... a free translation of the spirit of the thing rather than directly.
They invited representatives of current electonic music to use samples from
Migros material (jingles, interviews, shop-ambience/environmental sounds and
concerts they put on) and produce a track. They could mess up, mix, cut & paste
the samples anyway they wanted and the only condition was that they actually use
some of the migros stuff... thus complete artistic freedom was guaranteed (ahem)
The results, pressed to vinyl, are consistent with the normal artistic output of
the musicians.... with the single limitation of maximum 7 minutes per track.
Then it goes on to describe how the DJ, Roli Widmer gathered all the samples
together and gives source information etc... that's the CD image you see at the
top.
I'm not actually sure if they are seeing a CD is available or not... it might be
saying it is available with the original sample CD together so you can check
both inputs & outputs.
Whatever.... these are pretty exclusive tracks and you are not likely to find
them anywhere else.... which is probably what most of the artists are hoping for
as they obviously sold their souls for wads of Swiss Franks to commerce ;)
Actually... the Migros is really supportive of all sorts of new artistic
endeavours and fresh talent... so they are not a bad choice to sell out to ;)
Hope this was helpful... and I hope that means I get away with not turning off
my spammy sig-file ;)
Peace
