Behind The Counter With Max Richter (Part 2)

As big fans of Max, we invited him to curate the first in Rough Trade Shops’ Behind the Counter series, in which some of our favourite artists create mixes especially for us using the records we sell on the shop floor. The result is a 36-track compilation of soundbites, pieces of composition, interesting mixes and curious musical choices including tracks from Mogwai, Boards of Canada, Philip Glass, Aphex Twin and Low among some classical works by Rachmaninoff and Bach. In this two-part podcast Max chats to Nigel about the process of his selection and we also hear a selection of songs from the compilation.
