Double LP version. LPs pressed on premium audiophile-quality vinyl at RTI from Kevin Gray Lacquers; Presented in a textured gatefold Stoughton "laserdisc" jacket with a cover painting by Lisa Alvarado. Jackets, retro-audiophile sleeves and record labels hand-screen printed by Alan Sherry at Siwa Studios, Northern New Mexico. Mandatory Reality, the new album by Joshua Abrams and Natural Information Society, is here. Setting aside (for the moment) the electric instrumentation of Simultonality (GB 048CD/MTE 068LP, 2017) and Magnetoception (MTE 063-64LP, 2015), Joshua Abrams conceived Mandatory Reality for an eight-piece acoustic manifestation of NIS, consisting of himself on guimbri, Lisa Alvarado on harmonium and gongs, Mikel Avery on tam-tam and gongs, Ben Boye on autoharp and piano, Hamid Drake on tabla and tar, Ben Lamar Gay on cornet, Nick Mazzarella on alto saxophone, and Jason Stein on bass clarinet. A double album, Mandatory Reality is comprised largely of two performances, both Joshua Abrams compositions, 24- and 40-minutes in length. While new to the band's records, long duration pieces are familiar to those who've heard Joshua Abram and NIS in concert in recent years, where elaboration on a single composition for an hour or more is not unusual. Gradual tempos dominate Mandatory Reality. Recorded two months before the 2017 solar eclipse, Mandatory Reality is the sound of Joshua Abrams and NIS taking it's time. Merging methodical compositions with sonically voluptuous orchestration, Abrams heightens the immersive and hypnotic qualities Abram and NIS music is known for, taking the band and the listener deep into a collective meditative space. A grand realization of long-form psychedelic music, Mandatory Reality is a dispatch from a sound world that is increasingly unique to itself. All performances on Mandatory Reality are full takes recorded live to tape by the full ensemble, magnificently captured by Greg Norman at electrical audio, Chicago - the first true "audiophile" recording of Joshua Abrams and NIS. Mastered by Helge Sten at Audio Virus, Oslo.

Terrific Quality
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
Best suntan lotion. I’ve used this brand for a couple of years now and am impressed at how well it works. I have fair skin and it truly helps so I don't get burned like I used to with other brands.

Great Sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love this sunscreen and have been using it for years! The scent is pleasant, and it goes on smoothly and provides great coverage. It doesn’t leave a greasy feeling after application, which I really appreciate. It also holds up well after being in the water, and I like that it's environmentally friendly.

Not for Oily / Combo skin types
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
The product smells nice, doesn't leave a greasy feeling on my skin. It's easy to spread and seeps right into my skin. I've had bad luck with sunscreens and so far this one has been nice on my sensitive skin.
The quality of the bottles is odd, or at least that was my first impression. It feels cheap. Maybe that's just how this product is.

****EDIT: I made this review back when my "skin care routine" consisted on NOTHING but salicylic acid cleanser and this sunscreen every other day, whenever I remembered to apply it. My skin was DRY and this sunscreen felt like heaven when applied on my screen.
I recently started actually looking after my skin and added a moisturizer and retinol to my routine. My skin is now hydrated and soft. Now, I'm having to switch to a different sunscreen because this one can no longer be fully absorbed by face. It leaves a nice glow but also an unfortunate greasy feeling on my skin. I also forgot to point our last time that it does leave a white cast, but it goes away after a few extra seconds of rubbing it in.
I still think this is a good product! Just make sure you have the right skin type (dry) for it.
