Vinyl Therapy: Bjork "Voltaic" Limited Edition Box Set (2009)










Having seen one of the NYC shows on this tour with my pals Billy and Kelly, I can tell you that the contents of this package fully capture the energy of Bjork, her musicians and the very specific, completely unparalleled universe of live music theatre they create.  Whether or not you "buy her brand" in terms of performance dynamics, there is no denying Bjork's ability to engage both the ardent admirer and the casual observer with her antics.  There is also no denying her ability to innovate when looking for ways to present her recorded work... In other words, THIS is how a live album package is done: 2 LPs, 2 DVDs, 2 CDs and a very unique package layout for the listener/viewer to interact with.

Vinyl Therapy: Friendly Fires "Pala" (2011)


An explosion of color creates a perfect package for a river of gorgeous sound.  Great sleeve, great record.

Vinyl Therapy: My Morning Jacket "Circuital" (2011)










In heavy rotation at home and in my car... 
A stellar album from a band that does consistent work.
It's great to know that there are some bands out there who get the fact that 
(for fans like me) the package is a STILL a part of the overall experience of an album.  
The layout for the vinyl edition of My Morning Jacket's latest LP makes it feel like an instant classic.
