Double vinyl LP pressing. 2015 release by the Grammy-winning saxophonist, arranger, composer, bandleader and producer Tragically, this was Bob Belden's last recording – he died of a massive heart attack on May 20 at age 58, just weeks before the final mastering of this chilling opus. But the concept had been long set in place for this recording with his band Animation, featuring guest bassist Bill Laswell. To help Belden realize his futuristic 2001: A Space Odyssey-inspired vision for Machine Language, he enlisted vocalist Kurt Elling as narrator for this cyberpunk opera. "My own memory of any conversations regarding the piece is that there was minimal discussion before making the voice over," said Elling, who had previously appeared on Belden's 1996 project, Shades of Blue. "The only real direction I received was to 'sound like a sad, well-spoken computer.' I did the actual recording by myself at a studio in St Louis, with Belden occasionally commenting via ISDN. I did a cold read once down, without music, and expected Bob to make whatever edits and adjustments he wanted. I was in and out of the studio in an hour." Belden's text for Elling reads like an excerpt from Philip K. Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, which later became the literary source for the 1982 Ridley Scott movie Blade Runner. And the darkly foreboding music, performed by Pete Claggett on muted trumpet, Roberto Verastegui on electric keyboard, Matt Young on drums, Belden on soprano sax and Laswell on electric bass guitar, takes part of its inspiration from Miles Davis' 32-minute ambient requiem for the recently-deceased Duke Ellington, "He Loved Him Madly" (from 1974's Get Up With It).

Great small size rug
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural shape, Sheepksin, Oblong), Color: Ivory White
Size is great, I wanted to use as a throw on a leather ottoman and it fit great. It isn’t exactly the color I expected but it is a neutral cream. Soft and comfortable. Well made.

Is super soft and works for elderly
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural shape, Sheepksin, Oblong), Color: Ivory White
My mom has been ill and confined to her recliner for sleeping. She developed pressure sores and was in a great deal of pain. We needed to treat the sores and I researched how to prevent in first place and found that genuine sheepskin helps. I had no idea this was a thing. I ordered this for her recliner and a seat one for the car. She loves this. She said she could feel an immediate difference in sitting for so long that she didn't need to shift constantly. I don't understand the mechanics behind why this works but I'm grateful for something natural and affordable like this to offer such relief.

Photo of the color differences for you!

The white one seems softer than the cream one!? Seems like great value for your money for a single pelt, the seller and product didn’t seem sketchy at all.
