This album is truly one of the finest-sounding records in my entire collection, and the music is absolutely breathtaking. I always give new records a quick once-over with an anti-static brush, and if they don't come in those plastic-lined, archival anti-static sleeves, I swap out the flimsy paper ones for either a square rice paper & 3 ply anti-static sleeve, or if they've got those flashy full-color sleeves, I'll use a rounded archival rice paper & 3 ply anti-static sleeve since they fit right inside. Those fancy sleeves might look snazzy, but they're terrible for your vinyl—especially if it's statically charged. They'll attract dust and grit like a magnet, and any tiny particles on your turntable, hands, or clothes will stick right to your record. Just one little speck of grit can scratch your brand new vinyl when you put it back in those deluxe sleeves, and it'll scratch again when you take it out next time. So do your records a favor, folks. Give them a quick brush to keep the grime away, and always store them in anti-static inner sleeves. The rounded ones are super versatile but can be a pain to find. Big Fudge's got both kinds. Outer clear sleeves aren't as crucial, but if you're serious about keeping your records in Near Mint shape, use them. And be extra careful when sliding gatefold albums into their plastic outer sleeves—you don't want any tears. Oh, and that noise you hear on a brand new record? Might just be static electricity that needs to dissipate. The pressing could be just fine. Even if it's not some fancy 'audiophile' mastered album like this one, these days, the pressing is probably fine. Doesn't matter what color the vinyl is, how heavy it is, or if it's made from virgin PVC, recycled plastic, or even that low carbon emission bioplastic. Heck, even good old polluting PVC (and yeah, I know vinyl production has a high carbon footprint, but it's not like your daily coffee is any better). Running your air conditioner 24/7, or streaming music and HD video online, is way, way worse for the atmosphere than making vinyl records. And nothing, I mean nothing, is worse for your carbon footprint than using AI-powered online tools. They're absolute bandwidth and energy hogs, unlike anything we've ever seen. AI systems run out of data centers with insane amounts of storage, just to pretend to be intelligent. Using generative AI programs all day is worse than driving an 18-wheeler diesel truck for 8 hours, or binge-watching every season of Stranger Things on an 8K TV with a gigabit internet connection. No other human technology even comes close to the carbon footprint of these so-called "artificial intelligence" systems, or large language learning models. And let's be real, they're not even close to actually being intelligent. They're just complex algorithms that copy everything they see or do, trying to mimic the human brain, and store a compressed version of that info locally. They've got super powerful processors that let them pull from all that data, link related info, and spit out the most commonly repeated bits as facts. Often, it seems incredibly intelligent. Except when asked about something happening in real-time. Then it's a total mess, spewing incorrect info left and right. Next time something major and newsworthy is unfolding in real-time, with hardly any archived info to draw from, you'll see just how "intelligent" AI systems really are. They're so bad in those situations that I'm seriously skeptical modern tech can even create genuine artificial general intelligence. The whole concept might be fatally flawed, but that's not why you're here. Armin Van Buuren's Piano is an astonishing musical feat, composed, played, and produced by someone famous for a completely different genre of electronic music. On top of sounding absolutely incredible, the music on these vinyl slabs might just be some of Buuren's best work ever. And that's really saying something. Give it a listen online, and if you love it, grab the vinyl version. There's no better way to appreciate the sonically stunning range of piano compositions than with an analog audiophile vinyl version of this masterpiece.
