VINYL FORMAT. Christian Fennesz lives and works in Paris and Vienna. Plays was originally released as a 7" vinyl by Mego in 1998 and a CD single by Moikai in 1999. It is seen by many as the "turning point" between early Fennesz electronic abstract works such as the Instrument 12" and Hotel Paral.lel CD, and the more guitar-based works such as Endless Summer and Venice.
