Simon Green, known as Bonobo, has always stayed true to his downtempo roots. On 'Black Sands', he ramps up the use of live instruments like nylon - stringed guitars, Fender Rhodes, and electric bass. As the album progresses, it's like his production evolves into a live jazz combo. The closing title track is an amazing multi - instrumental jam at a waltz pace. Tracks such as 'Kiara' and 'Eyes Down' have dubstep - inspired production, while 'Kong' looks back at Bonobo's past work, with chopped breaks and sample - based elements from the golden age of Ninja Tune. He teams up with Andreya Triana for some great vocal moments. This is a high - quality black double vinyl pressing from Ninja Tune in 2010. Reviewed by Le Haim in 04/2014.
Using this vinyl record is easy. Just place it on your turntable carefully and use the tonearm to drop the needle gently on the groove. Make sure your turntable is clean and well - maintained for the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. Store the vinyl in a cool, dry place, standing upright in a record sleeve to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a vinyl cleaning brush to gently remove dust and debris. Enjoy this amazing Bonobo album on your turntable and soak in the great music.
