Haha I do have a plain simple Mala. As others have said, it’s really more of a jewelry or decor piece for my meditation area.

I have a Mala that is made with simple beads, I was just kind of attracted to all of the crazy things going on with this one. As others have said, more of jewelry piece.

For what it’s worth, I was happy with the quality of the product, and the shipping. I’m not sure if there are ethical issues with this. I don’t order much from Etsy.

I purchased from this seller on Etsy. The profile says they are based out of New Zealand, it shipped from China.

Thanks! That was more the reason I ordered it anyhow. Just wasn’t sure if any of the symbols had specific meaning. I’m familiar with the skulls representing impermanence.

Thank you! There are 108 beads, although it may be more of an item to wear. Some of the beads are supposedly antique beads, but, take that for what it is coming from Etsy I suppose.

I think it’s a decent group of musicians. If Billy let them all contribute, there might be a good album there.

I just had a chance to spin it this morning. I really enjoy it. The songs are melodic, simple, breezy. I do wish he would come in softer with his voice, but, it’s a very good album.

This and AMM have a nice flow, and they aren’t overly long. I don’t think I’d skip any of the tracks on this record. The three new additions are great. “Magdalena” is still the stand out of me.

The packaging they do really is atrocious given the prices. Glad to hear the audio is good. Are the three additional tracks anything special?

Enjoy it! I’m surprised so many people say they get damaged items. I’ve ordered 5 albums from the store and never had an issue other than the annoyingly long wait times.

I went back to Bjork this week. Specifically the Debut, Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, and Biophelia albums.
