PRODUCT DETAILS
The first release to document the solo cello work of musician and composer LucyRailton, the 40-minute composition Blue Veil recorded at Église du Saint-Espritin Paris invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance:states made manifest through Railton's careful traversal of her cello's most subtleacoustic characteristics as they harmonically interlock with mind's embodiedmodalities of attention and imagination.Blue Veil arises out of, is sustained in and finally dissolves back into Railton'smomentary presence with her intimate connection to the cello, a way of hearingthat allows for a deeper engagement with harmonic resonance, one that opens aspace for immediate encounters of mind and sound.Railton's exploratory practice of harmonic perception emerges from a focus onthe physical qualities of intervallic and chordal sounds, their textural qualities,degrees of friction, and inner pulsations. Composing in the moment guided byresonances within the cello's body, her own, and their shared vibrational space,Railton moves through Blue Veil by giving sounds what they ask for: sounds ofpure texture manifesting as a move through temporal transparency, sounds ofrough texture marking regions of dimensionally dense space.Railton's creative and highly refined use of just intonation harmony deformssound's inner movements in ways that suggest a mode of listening that activelysupplies imagery of sounds implied or completely absent rather than merelysavouring those fully present. This active mode of "listening-with", playfully andsemi-metaphorically referred to by Railton as "sing-along music", allows listeningto reflexively participate in the music's movement as it gradually passes throughrichly saturated domains of harmonic imagination. And just as the precisiontuned tones of Blue Veil lose their individuality when fusing multifaceteduniformity, listening's structures of reference and recognition dissolve intonameless waves of intensity, continuously unfolding themselves upon andmerging with the listener.Blue Veil is the result of a deep exploration of the inner worlds of tuning, anundertaking in turn informed by and emerging out of Railton's realisations ofthe music of Catherine Lamb and Ellen Arkbro, her collaborative work with KaliMalone and Stephen O'Malley as well as her interpretive practice in performingthe work of Maryanne Amacher, Morton Feldman and others.

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
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.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
