#Music In the House & On the Deck: 'Superstitions' (SubRosa, 2025) by Narthex, the collaboration between Daniel Denis (Univers Zero) & Alain Neffe (Pseudocode). Very atmospheric. Sadly, mine arrived w a tiny scratch at the intro to Side 1. Tick, tick, tick for 20 seconds.

@ryancordell.org Hello, Ryan. A few years ago, I bought the embosser pictured here from a bookseller buddy. Would you be interested in having it for your shop? If so, I will happily mail it to you. I've never used it and would like it to go to a good home.
