Monument: Vinyl 2LP

This product comes as a double black BioVinyl record set. It's placed in a printed sleeve and packed in a resealable protective bag for safekeeping. Monument is one of Portico Quartet's most straightforward and accessible records so far. If Terrain explored the darker aspects of how Duncan Bellamy and Jack Wyllie coped with the pandemic, Monument is like a song celebrating better times. Even if it's not exactly a dance - themed record, it has a vibrant energy, a warm glow, and a very focused sound. Jack Wyllie says, 'It's probably our most direct album yet. It's full of melodies, well - structured, and very efficient. There's no aimless searching or wasted notes in the music; it's all well - formed ideas, precisely crafted and presented as a refined work.' Bellamy adds that 'Monument stands between our albums Portico Quartet and Art in the Age of Automation. It has a more obvious electronic touch in its sound, with more synthesizers and electronic elements than before, and the music is often streamlined and rhythmic.' Tracklist: 1. Opening 2. Impressions 3. Ultraviolet 4. Ever Present 5. Gateway 6. Monument 7. A.O.E 8. Warm Data 9. Portal 10. On the Light

To use this vinyl record set, first make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the record from the protective bag and printed sleeve. Place it carefully on the turntable and start the playback. When handling the records, hold them by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, put the records back in the printed sleeve and the resealable protective bag to keep them safe. Store the records in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Avoid stacking heavy objects on top of the records as it may cause warping. Clean the records periodically with a soft, anti - static brush to maintain good sound quality.
