PRODUCT DETAILS
Details: Four years on from his explorative third full-length 'Aquamarine', Ash Walker returns wth an equally ambitiosu follow-up, set for release via Night Time Stories on 30 June. Alongside a plethora of award-winning collaborators and combining a dizzying array of sounds, 'Astronaut' hears Walker push his astral shower of rhythm and vibes to new heights. If 'Aquamarine' was the take-off of his audial spaceship, 'Astrnoaut' is the sosmic voyage reaching terminal velocity; a rocket-powered masterclass spanning jazz, blues, soul, funk and reggae. An avid record collector, Walker has DJed far and wide from the infamous Royal Mail squat partiy to the canals of Venice, spinning vinyl in Brixton with The Specials to scattering dub across San Francisco and LA. His own production output is similarly explorative: his journeys have taken him far and wide, from tunnels under the river Thames to recording local percussionists in the Atlas mountains of Moroco. Inspired by a deep dive of sounds from artists including Duke Ellington, Quincy Jones, King Tubby, Bo Diddley, 4Hero, J Dilla, Peter Rock, Curtis Mayfield, Philip Glass and Steve Reich; Walker has gained attention from the likes of Gilles PEterson, Don Letts, Dummy, KCRW and NPR.

Been looking for the specific Vinyl for years and finally found it here. I was skeptical at first, but decided to purchase it and I am so glad I did!!! The record is perfect, and it is even a clear version of the vinyl which I did not know they made. Could not be happier.
Packaging and shipping were done well. Prompt delivery. And the album itself is great.
Timely shipping
This album was really important to me growing up, and it's amazing to have it on vinyl. This is an amazing record.
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
Arrived fast and in perfect condition!!
Package arrived 2 days early. Album arrived in great condition. I love TMM. Probably one of my favorite albums. The marbled color look looks so cool. Highly recommend.
It was great, packaging was nice and the vinyl was gorgeous. Thank you so much!!
Great quality and fast shipping
Absolute treat having this great album on vinyl
Sounds good, looks good
quick delivery! In excellent condition :) Very happy with my purchase
I ordered this vinyl and it came in, I was super excited and every other record seemed to be fine. This one however had a bend, now it was sealed and there seemed to be no other damage so my assumption is it was a distributor issue but when I contacted to just make them aware, pale blue dot sent me another. This is the type of customer service that is above and beyond and it has made me a repeat customer. I cannot say anything better about the communication involved and the shipping speed was just as fast as well. This has become my new go to.
Bought here specifically because I found TDH for a good price but the customer service made it so much better. This particular album came in perfect. Will be ordering from here again.
Absolutely stunning
