    I’ve just received a copy that states 1/2 Speed Mastering by Miles Showell at Abbey Road. Talk to me people! Also, this pressing is fantastic! Project Classic into a Sansui Au5600 with my dad’s old 1970’s Polk Audio speakers!

      Great album made all the greater by the fact that it’s named after a 2000s fast casual Mexican concept

        Shadows of Craven Faults permeating side A. Fabulous drone on side C. Inmitable Baja style hitting its stride. Excellent release.

          What an incredibly uplifting album. Classic 70's German Kosimiche meets the bright colourful sounds of "A Rainbow in Curved Air". I have the double cassette which is great but I may have to grab the vinyl too. Lovely lovely music!

          Also, the double cassette version has the same bonus tracks as the double CD version. Though it doesn't specify on the packaging anywhere.

            Lovely, dreamy, droney stuff that wears the influences of Terry Riley, Eno, Popol Vuh and even Jade Warrior on its sleeve. And the half-speed mastered LP is refreshingly free of the flaws so common to 21st century pressings. Very highly recommended unless you're a stickler for total originality.

              Just a supremely sublime album. I can't put it into words; it feels as though I'm traveling through different worlds with teeming ecosystems and Bitchin Bajas provides the backdrop to the journey. Major recommend to lovers of ambient and left field music.
