Organic Machine Vinyl

posted February 7, 2025 #

I recently became aware of ElasticStage, a UK based company that claims to make "vinyl on demand." They sorta explain how it works but are intentionally vague about it, presumably to protect their unique process. Based on what I can cobble together, my best guess is that it's a lathe cutting process on 140g black PETG (not quite the same as traditional vinyl) that is machine controlled in some way. Regardless of what they're doing, I had to give it a try. I am happy to report, after multiple orders - I am confident in the quality!

To that end, today we are announcing 20 copies of Talking With Hands excellent album Organic Machine. I am confident the quality is better than what you traditionally associate with a lathe cut, the packaging is great and it's an excellent way to hear the record.

Bonus! Today, Feb 7, Bandcamp is donating 100% of their proceeds to MusiCares, to benefit those affected in Southern California. So, go pick up some stuff on Bandcamp!
