    While the music on the album is great, the quality of the record and the packaging is pretty subpar. When I opened the record the first thing I noticed was that the code was in the inner sleeve, touching the record, the sleeve was also ripped on the inside. Then when I got the record out it was covered in paper flakes and when I put it on my turntable the record barely fit, the spindle hole is cut very poorly. I really hope no one else's copy is like this.

      So good. Mystical arabic grooves and melodies over super lo-fi beats.
