Vinyl LP pressing, includes digital download. After the widely noticed performance at the "Acht Brücken Festival 2016" at Cologne's Philharmonic Hall, Gregor Schwellenbach, Hauschka, Erol Sarp (of Grandbrothers), Daniel Brandt and Paul Frick (both of Brandt Brauer Frick) and John Kameel Farah release their interpretation of Steve Reich's "Six Pianos" as a studio recording via FILM. The re-recording of this piece is an interpretation of Reich's composition but still far more than just that - it is a modern approach to his idea behind it. The basic idea came up at the beginning of the '70s at the Baldwin Piano & Organ Company in New York. During a rehearsal phase, which Steve Reich spent in this very piano store, the idea emerged of writing a composition for all the grand pianos available to him at the company. By the time of the finished piece, the actual number of pianos had settled down to six, where "Six Pianos" developed in 1973. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, the six pianists declare their love to Steve Reich with this release. Shaped by electronic club music as well as their classical education, they form "Six Pianos" in dignified modernity and top it off with today's sound aesthetics and technical recording possibilities. Presented here is not the recording from the Kölner Philharmonie (Cologne Philharmonics), but the ensemble playing six different grand pianos in six different locations throughout Germany. Each pianist performed his part on his piano using his typical studio equipment and passed the recording over to the next one. Thus the six characteristic and individual timbres of the performers overlay to create the overall picture - "Six Pianos" the way it should be looked at in 2016. Jan Brauer mixed "Six Pianos" in the studio while Lukas Vogel provided delays for the "Keyboard Study #1". "Keyboard Study #1" by Terry Riley is a worthy companion for Reich's composition. The piece is kind of a building set of ever lengthening, repetitive patterns played against each other with the right and left hand displaced. The composition proposes various possible combinations for the performer to choose from and repeat at will. And what the performers have chosen proves Gregor Schwellenbach's assumption: "Terry Riley's and Steve Reich's music are open doors for pianists socialized by pop music and their audience."

Great puzzle, even better complimentary squeaky carrot
Color: Red, Color: Red
Our dog is a Jack Russell mix and needs near constant interaction. In the winter, it gets so cold that we can't always get him out for long enough periods of time to satisfy his poor bored little brain.
I've tried so many puzzles. He gets frustrated and bored quickly, and ends up just barking at them.
One game that he loves in winter though, is what we call "the blanket game" and it's when we hide one of his favorite toys in an old blanket, wrap it all up, and then let him loose to find the toy. He can play this game over and over, for over an hour if we have the energy. So, when I saw this ball, I knew I had to try it.
He loves it. He begs me to let him have it at least once a day and it gives him a good 5-10 minutes of play. He'd play it more if I let him have that many treats, haha.
But I had to say that, true to form, his REAL favorite part of the puzzle ball was the complimentary carrot toy that came with it.
He is obsessed with the carrot.
He carries it everywhere. It goes to bed with him. He never loses it, always knows exactly where Carrot is. He even knows the word "carrot" now, after only a week or so of having our dear, beloved Carrot.
I can ask him, "go get Carrot," and he brings it right to me.
It is the only toy he ever brings me now.
The squeaker is long dead, he killed it within the first couple days, but he still chews it relentlessly, listening for the little air puff sounds it makes now.
So anyway, the ball is great. Love it. But the carrot? Is an epic find. I included a picture so you can see how utterly filthy it is from how much he loves it (don't worry, it's going in the washer).
Thank you for this random carrot. It might be the best thing to happen to our weird little family this winter.

Basic Starter Puzzle, But Not Very Durab
Color: Red
This toy is more like a level 1 puzzle—it doesn’t take long at all for my 1-year-old, 5 lb Papillon to figure it out. The ball part is sturdy enough, but the cloth sections are very soft and not durable. I worry about him tearing into it and possibly swallowing threads, so I only let him play with it under close supervision.
If you just need a simple puzzle to introduce your dog to enrichment toys, this could work. But if you’re looking for something that lasts longer or provides more of a challenge, this isn’t it.
Pros:
• Works as a very basic starter puzzle
• Ball portion is fairly sturdy
• Good for quick enrichment sessions
Cons:
• Cloth material is soft and easy to damage
• Requires close supervision to prevent chewing or tearing
• Not challenging for dogs beyond beginner level
Overall, I’m giving it 3 stars. It does the job as an entry-level puzzle, but it’s not durable and doesn’t offer much mental stimulation.
UPDATE: The company reached out after my review and provided good customer service, which I really appreciated.

He loves it, what else is there to say!
Color: Green
My dog loves this ball. Originally we used it as it is designed and put treats inside it to knock out and keep him busy, now he just loves to throw it around and fling it by the pieces of fabric that come out. He is generally a toy destroyer so the fact that it is still arounds shows that it is strong and was for sure worth the buy. Would 100% recommend for any dog that likes to keep busy!

Pupper shakes with excitement when I take this out
Color: Green
This is a very good toy for a super busy pup but take it away after they find the treats or it's getting destroyed (the fleece) totally worth the money and the five minute prep time for a play session

Good for gentle dogs, not so much for chewers
Color: Green
My pup loves this and it definitely keeps him entertained, but the fleece ties are not the strongest so if you have a strong chewer be ware that it will not last too long (he's been playing with it for a day and we've lost 3 so far)
