Stratosphere (25th Anniversary Edition): Limited Clear + Black Splatter Vinyl LP [NAD23]

Best enjoyed from the comfort of your own 'womb', Duster's 1998 debut Stratosphere marked the end and reinvented the first wave of slow core. This four - track dreamscape is so captivating that it can wake your neighbors and then gently lull them back to sleep. Hazy, arpeggiated guitars are layered over a laid - back drummer, while semi - inaudible vocals warn of millennial angst and subtly urge you to 'rock out'. As The Ringer says, it's'music for dark spaces and closed eyelids, deeply psychedelic but without sprawl, ambient music with a serrated edge of punk'. Vice describes it as 'warm, fuzzed - out sounds that hit home like a tight, melancholic embrace from your favorite person'. Tracks include Moon Age, Heading For The Door, Gold Dust and many more.

To use this vinyl LP, simply place it on a compatible record player. Make sure the needle is clean and properly aligned before starting to play. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. After each use, return it to its sleeve to protect it from dust. Store the LP in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help maintain its sound quality and prevent warping over time.
