I picked this up on CD a long time ago, and immediately realized how fantastic it was. Recently, I killed my streaming music account and am now using only music files on my phone for driving, and only files for which I own the physical product.

About the record, this is as good as anything I own. I’m lucky to have been able to appreciate kora music in performance and I can say that for me there’s no more beautiful music on the planet. Buy this record, and buy it at a record store if at all possible.

For me, I looked for this online and happily discovered that it had been issued on vinyl last year. Amazon had it at an absurdly low price, and I thought, “I could do this, but no.” I treated myself to a trek on public transportation with a book and picked it up at normal price at Amoeba.

Difficult moments offer clarity and one thing I am getting right now is a clear understanding that in too many things in life I’ve allowed convenience to substitute for quality, and that I’ve allowed tech-mediated interactions to encroach upon my experience of the physical world.

I look at my life and I can see that there’s a lot I can cut out and clean up that in real terms cost me next to nothing, except minor inconvenience. There’s a lot I don’t have to fund with my purchases.

I read someone on here use the term ensh**tification, and it fits a lot of things that have become normal for too many people. The pandemic is done. To take my primary example, the lived experience of streaming music is really not that great and definitely not intimate.

As for me, cutting out streaming has left me with the things I actually care enough about to have bought. I’d like more records but I can’t have them and it really doesn’t affect me. I care about the records I have and I feel much better dealing entirely with them.
