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).

Soft Catch Tray
Color: Black, Size: Sectional, Color: Black, Size: Sectional
Pros: 1. Soft tray. Has almost a silicon type texture. Won’t scratch items you put in the tray. The segmented sections are the perfect size for wallet, keys, sunglasses, watches, etc. Phone section is slightly angled as well. 2. Rubber feet helps it stay in place and doesn’t slide. I have mine on top of my watch winder and it has moved even when throwing items on it. 3. Build quality is great. Has a textured hard bottom and soft inner. Everything has a nice finish. 4. Price is great for the quality received. Cons: 1. The silicon inner material is a dust magnet. Makes it difficult to keep clean. Summary: This is a great option for an organized tray. I am extremely happy with the quality and functionality of what I received. Spigen is always a great brand.

Quality and affordability
Color: Black
This is one of the best jewelry boxes I have ever had. It is super sleek and practically designed. It sits well on a counter or dresser and blends into the room with ease. The compartments are well designed and lined with velvet that makes your jewelry pieces feel well protected and easily accessed. You are able to organize in a way that works for you. I really liked the quality of the product and though it’s not perfect, it’s worth the price for sure.

Perfect Jewerly Box for anyone
Color: Black
I just love it. I love how many drawers there are, how many sections there are, and how I have the option to hang up necklaces or even bracelets. I showed it to my daughter, and she loved it. It sits perfectly up in my closet on a shelf out of sight. This is exactly what i been looking for. I settled for what I thought I wanted, but this one is the perfect one

Good quality but there are better
Color: Black
Great quality, good amount of storage space. Biggest complaint is that the hooks inside don't really have hooks at all, just these little gold stick like things. Jewelry falls off easily.
