LP version. When Harry Bertoia's Sonambient label was resurrected, Important Records' intention was to tell the story of Bertoia's groundbreaking Sonambient work as revealed through his extensive collection of notes and recordings. When the first new LP was released in 2016, Important were only in possession of 1/20th of the archive. Now, in 2019, the label is excited to release the first LP of new material from the full archive and they present it to increase understanding of what Bertoia was doing in his sound-barn deep in the Pennsylvania woods. The recordings contained on this LP were selected because of their relationship to Bertoia's body of recorded work. The titles are from Bertoia's notes which Bertoia placed in each tape box, indicating date and describing briefly. Like his sculptures, Bertoia never titled his recordings but frequently referred to specific concepts he was pursuing. These are among the earliest known examples of Bertoia using terms which would become more common in the years to come: "experimental", "mechanical", and "long sounds". Cut from the original master tapes maintaining a straight analog signal path. "Experimental I": Very few of Bertoia's early experimental sessions survive on tape: he did not record many and often erased those he taped. Most were not recorded and those that were recorded, were often erased. Those that remain, however, offer fascinating insights into how Bertoia likely worked in the barn when the tape machine wasn't running. Although he left behind hundreds of tapes, one can only begin to imagine the amount of unrecorded sessions that took place in Bertoia's barn. "Experimental I" shows the artist stretching out, in no hurry and avoiding any bombastic explosiveness. You can imagine Bertoia looking around the barn much as he is seen on this album's cover; searching for the next sound in his forest of metal wires. Unheard combinations of sculptures, percussion and long strummed sections make this recording unique. This piece has an effortless, natural flow."Mechanical I": There appear to be at least ten tapes from 1969-1975 that Bertoia noted were "Mechanical". Bertoia thought of his sculpture as a collaboration with industry since the diameters of his rods were, ultimately, determined by what was available from the factory that manufactured them. In that sense, Bertoia's music could, quite literally, be considered industrial and this piece has the metallic rhythms of a factory pulsing through it.

Soft, lightweight, warm and long blanket
Color: 04 - Cream, Size: Throw XL (50" X 70")
Very nice blanket. It's soft and long enough to cover you when laying on the sofa and warm. It also washes and dries well on warm water normal dry. I highly recommend this blanket

Bought in multiple colors! Fantastic material
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green, Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
I ordered this button-up for an upcoming beach vacation, and I’m honestly so impressed with the quality and feel of it. Right out of the package, the material felt soft, breathable, and exactly what you want when you know you’ll be spending long hours in the sun and heat. It’s incredibly lightweight without feeling cheap or flimsy, which was one of my biggest concerns when ordering.
What I really love is how well it helps keep you cool. The fabric allows for great airflow, so you don’t feel like you’re overheating or sweating through it like you might with heavier shirts. Even just trying it on, I could tell it’s going to be perfect for hot, humid weather. The fit is also spot-on—not too tight, not too baggy—giving it a clean, relaxed look that works great for both casual outings and slightly nicer dinners by the beach.
Overall, this shirt checks all the boxes: comfortable, breathable, stylish, and ideal for vacation wear. Already grabbing a few more colors

Slim but comfortable sizing looks upscale, wrinkle free from the dryer
Size: Medium, Color: Denim Blue
This is a very nice upscale looking shirt. It has great styling that is not over-sized. My husband normally wears a medium or large depending on the cut/style. He got a medium in this size and it is a perfect, comfortable fit. It arrived with some creases in the material from being folded in the packaging but it came out beautifully from the dryer. I'm happy he has a casual but nice shirt to wear when he takes me out to dinner!

Nice and comfy, light duty and feel great.
Size: X-Large, Color: Light Green
What they may lack in "durability" i.e. very light and thin = not going to last all that long, they make up for in fit [yes even for wide shoulders], comfort and style. If you want them to last, suggest a gentle cycle and just take ot easy on them. They are light, thin, and airy. Nice summer shirt.

A true vacation find!
Size: Medium, Color: Light Green
Really nice choice. Got it for my husband and he really liked the style. I loved how it fit on him and the lightness of the fabric. Great for hot, sunny weathered days, or warm nights. A true vacation find. Both comfy and stylish. He would have preferred it be 100% cotton, but I think he didn't really mind after steaming it. He commented on the color too. A beautiful sage green!
