Island

This is a vinyl LP pressing. Chris Forsyth and Koen Holtkamp are well - known for their fierce creativity and mastery of guitar and synthesizers respectively. 'The Island' is the second collaborative album from these Philadelphia and Brooklyn musicians. Their rehearsals involved a couple of days of wine - drinking, cooking, and beach - hanging at the Jersey Shore, and the ocean's rhythm clearly influenced the sessions. The album, despite its free - form origins, is well - composed and song - focused. Tracks like 'Long Beach Idyll' and 'Cosmic Richard' blend Forsyth's desert - toned guitar with Holtkamp's flowing electronics for dreamy meditations, while 'Sun Blind' and 'Alternator' are intense, with the musicians pushing each other to create something new and raw.

To use this vinyl LP, simply place it on your turntable and gently drop the needle onto the record. Make sure your turntable is clean and properly calibrated for the best sound quality. When handling the record, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, store the vinyl in its sleeve and keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning solution and a soft brush to gently clean the grooves. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can damage the record.
