Limited edition LP reissue of this cult minimalist pop album by Japanese singer songwriter Ai Aso, originally released in 2020 on Ideologic Organ. Ai Aso's immaculately crafted form of minimalist pop music skirts the edges of tensity with the manner and with the skill of a tight rope walker, calmly balancing repeatedly at every step, with a combination of surety and the risk of a slip, a fall, and an unknown uncoiling of events. Aso's capacity to capture, or inspire, the tension and attention from within the listener and observer are quite pronounced. At Aso's concert the performance constantly teeters near the brink, a sharpened awareness in the hall emerges from all observing, with the will of that most delicate balance. On "The Faintest Hint" she brings a meta level to the proceedings, the dream of a singer in a bright sunlit room in the centre of the density of the society, simply and precisely searching for single ideas, single tones, a sense of sensuality and even a dream of a grandeur (rock dream) emerge. A stillness prevails, even a sharp set of instances of dreaming, melancholia, nostalgia... or even saudade. The album was recorded, mixed & mastered by Soichiro Nakamura at Peace Music between 2018-2020. Atsuo and I joined these sessions as producers, and moreso as catalysts, yet also became the skeleton of a band on the album (with the tender touch). The legendary Japanese rock band Boris accompany Aso on two pieces. A faintest hint of sharpness and la tendresse féroce quickly erodes into a fine brief cloud of the purest crystalline dust. -Stephen O'Malley, Stockholm June 2020

Not so much.
Size: 11 In X 14 In
I bought this paper for a photo I took and I needed 4 copies printed. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money so I bought this paper as it was fairly inexpensive. You get what you pay for. A professional photographer friend of mine printed my photos as he has a high end Epson printer. He mentioned to me when handing the prints to me that the quality of the print was average with this paper. The texture and feel of this paper is like a sheet of ordinary typing paper. I guess one could use this paper to print test sheets. I will not buy again.

WOW — Stunning Print Quality
Size: 8.5"X14", Size: 8.5"X14"
WOW WOW WOW. The print quality on this photo paper is absolutely amazing. The colors come out vibrant, sharp, and so professional-looking. I’ve tried quite a few photo papers, and this one is easily one of my favorites. The paper itself feels high quality and sturdy, and the glossy finish really makes photos pop without looking cheap or overly shiny. It feeds smoothly through my printer and dries quickly with no smudging. Every print comes out crisp and clean. If you’re looking for professional-level photo paper with incredible color payoff, this is it. Such a great value for the quality you get—I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

Great value glossy photo paper
Size: 5"X7"
This photo paper works really well with my inkjet printer using dye ink. The colors come out bright and sharp, and it dries quickly without smudging or smearing. The glossy finish gives the photos a clean, professional look, and the 180gsm weight makes it feel sturdy without jamming or being too thick for my printer. So far, I’ve used it for family photos, thank you cards, and a few school projects. The results have been consistent, and I like that there’s no watermark on the back so I can write notes or dates if needed. The pack comes with 100 sheets, which makes it a great value for how well it performs. If you need affordable, good quality glossy paper for home printing, this is a dependable choice that makes projects look polished.
