Об альбоме (сборнике):Выдающийся Венский квартет "Polwechsel" за последнюю декаду исчерпывающе исследовал пасмурные зоны между композицией и импровизацией, электроакустику, джаз и классику. Австриец Кристиан Феннес (Christian Fennesz), будучи гитаристом, известен в основном своими абстрактными, и в то же время мелодичными импровизациями на лэптопе на таких лейблах как "Mego" и "Touch". "Wrapped Islands" запечатлел долгожданную встречу двух движущих сил современной музыки.
Басист Вернер Дафельдекер (Werner Dafeldecker) и виолончелист Майкл Мозер (Michael Moser) основали "Polwechsel" в 1993, к ним присоединились гитарист Бурхард Стангл (Burkhard Stangl) и тромбонист Раду Малфатти (Radu Malfatti). Микроскопические текстуры, которые они исследовали, были довольно необычны в то время и оказали влияние на последовавшую волну 'lower-case' и 'microsound' музыкантов. Они выпустили дебютный диск на лейбле Random Acoustics в 1995 (позже переиздан на hat[now]ART). Раду Малфатти (Radu Malfatti) покинул группу в 1997 чтобы выступать со своими собственными идеями. Его заменил саксофонист Джон Бутчер (John Butcher), который с тех пор стал неотъемлемой частью группы в таких записях как Polwechsel 2 (hat[now]ART), Polwechsel 3 (Durian), и Wrapped Islands.Кристиан Феннес (Christian Fennesz), наверное, наиболее выдающаяся на сегодняшний день фигура среди лэптоп музыкантов. Он взорвал сцену в 1995 с альбомом Instrument, записью деконструктивных гитарных композиций, и с тех пор исследовал всевозможные комбинации гитары, лэптопа, мелодии и диссонанса, импровизации и постобработки в таких проектах как "Hotel ParaI.lel", "Plays" и "Endless Summer" (все на Mego). Он так же является основообразующим членом "the all-star electronic orchestra MIMEO" и лэптоп трио "Fenn O'Berg".В январе 2002-го пятеро музыкантов собрались на три дня в Венской студии Кристофа Аммана (Christof Amann). Так и появился диск "Wrapped Islands". В то время как первые три релиза Polwechsel состоят, в основном, из композиций, "Wrapped Islands" - полностью импровизационный. Теплота и глубина музыки вызывает чувство иллюзорной простоты, с различными деталями и пассажами, которые соединяются с ощущениями слушающего, что отражено в великолепном дизайне Фредерике Паэтцольда (Friederike Paetzold).
