Biophon present a reissue of Biosphere's Shenzhou, originally released by Touch in 2002. This expanded reissue includes a bonus album The Samphire Tower. Paul Cooper, of Pitchfork, on the album: "Shenzhou, aside from being the name of the Chinese manned-spaceflight vehicles, means 'magic vessel', and I can't imagine a more apt description for Geir Jenssen's latest excursion into ambient deep listening.... Jenssen again relies on found sound as source material for Shenzhou, but this time, the found sound is old vinyl recordings of the orchestral works of French Impressionist composer and ambient precursor, Claude Debussy. Jenssen lifts fragments of these scratched records in a similar manner as he did for Cirque's 'Black Lamb Grey Falcon' and 'Iberia Eterea'. The ten tracks (out of the dozen on the album) that follow this model all begin as a barely audible hum, like a small electrical transformer, out of which the dust-dappled loops of Debussy's woodwind, brass, and strings emerge, condense, and fade out into pink noise rustles. Unlike Steve Reich's phase pieces or Brian Eno's Discreet Music, though, Jenssen doesn't set his loops against each other to produce juxtapositions and piquant dissonance; he uses them to describe imagined terrain, at first glance monotonously flat and barren, but on concentration, replete with minute detailing. The overall effect of these pieces is a sense of immensity. The orchestral loops sound distant, abandoned in a vast wilderness, and strenuously battling against Arctic winds. Jenssen sets the listener down in this wilderness as an aloof observer, a witness to the music's futile struggles against entropic forces. The two tracks not derived from Debussy share the same hypnotic aesthetic. The brief interlude 'Bose-Einstein Condension' is a loop of piano chords lolloping in search of coherence, while 'Gravity Assist' is a longer voyage into woofer-quaking low-frequency manipulation, bell-like drones, and contrails of subdued noise. I can't help but feel that these tracks fit awkwardly and break up the conceptual flow of the album. This, however, is a minor quibble given the power of this music. Shenzhou is unquestionably a magic vessel, but one that reveals it's enchantment only to those who pay close attention."

They work!
Color: Fuzzy Blue, Size: Regular
The ZenToes Moisturizing Fuzzy Sleep Socks have been a wonderful addition to my nightly self-care routine. Infused with Vitamin E, olive oil, and jojoba seed oil, these socks are designed to soften and hydrate dry, cracked heels, offering both comfort and skincare benefits. The regular size in blue fits perfectly and adds a soothing touch to my bedtime. One of the features I appreciate most is the intense moisturization these socks provide. The infusion of Vitamin E, olive oil, and jojoba seed oil delivers deep hydration to my feet, effectively softening and healing dry, cracked heels. After just a few nights of wearing these socks, I noticed a significant improvement in the texture and smoothness of my skin. My feet feel much softer and more comfortable, which is a relief after long days on my feet. The fuzzy, cozy design of the socks is another standout feature. They are incredibly soft and comfortable, providing a warm and snug fit that’s perfect for sleep. The plush material feels luxurious against the skin, making it a pleasure to wear them overnight. This added comfort enhances the overall experience, making it easier to stick to a nightly moisturizing routine. The design is practical and thoughtful. The socks fit snugly without being too tight, ensuring they stay in place throughout the night. The regular size is perfect for my feet, and they accommodate a range of foot sizes comfortably. The blue color adds a touch of style and fun, making the socks both functional and visually appealing. The socks are easy to care for, which is a significant advantage. They can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle, and they retain their softness and moisturizing properties even after multiple washes. This durability ensures that the socks continue to provide effective hydration and comfort over time, making them a worthwhile investment for foot care. The moisturizing effect lasts long after I take the socks off in the morning. My feet remain hydrated and smooth throughout the day, reducing the need for additional foot creams or lotions. This lasting effect is a testament to the quality and effectiveness of the ingredients used in the socks. Overall, the ZenToes Moisturizing Fuzzy Sleep Socks have exceeded my expectations. Their combination of deep moisturization, cozy design, practical fit, and easy care makes them an essential addition to any skincare routine. The socks have significantly improved the condition of my feet, providing effective relief for dry, cracked heels and ensuring lasting softness and hydration. I highly recommend these moisturizing socks to anyone looking for a comfortable and effective solution for foot care. They have become an indispensable part of my nightly routine, ensuring that I wake up with softer, healthier feet every day.

THESE THINGS SHED BAD!!!!!!!!!
Color: Pink Strawberries, Size: Regular
These things shed like you wouldn't believe. They're all over my furniture, my floor, my clothes. I'm finding little pink pieces of sock fluff everywhere and it's annoying. I don't think they did that until after I washed them. So if they don't shed on you right away, just wait, it'll most definitely happen. I returned because I won't where them again.

Keeping the crusty heels at bay!
Color: Cotton Gray, Size: Regular
I deal with chronic dry heels that crack if left unmanaged. I bought these in hopes that when I do soak and scrub my heels that I can keep the cracking at bay. These have been a godsend. I wear them every night and my heels are nice and soft. I plan on purchasing more. A couple of things I have noticed, if I wear these during the day, the bottom of my feet do seem to sweat and there is some slipping. I have only washed these are directed (hand washing) and you will want to after a couple washes because it could give a sweaty feet smell. Overall, I highly recommend.

Moisturized heels out of the box
Color: Fuzzy Lilac Purple, Size: Regular
Work without adding anything to your feet, but there are extra nice if you wanted to add a moisturizer to you heel and not get it all over your socks. Worth the money!

A Staple in Skin Care Routine
Style: Milky Toner
This toner has become a staple in my skincare routine. I have sensitive skin and a lot of products tend to cause irritation or redness, but this one has been incredibly gentle from the start. My skin always feels soft, calm, and hydrated after using it. The texture is lightweight with an almost soapy feel at first, but it absorbs quickly and never leaves my skin feeling greasy or heavy. It layers well with the rest of my skincare and works great both morning and night. I also appreciate that it gives results similar to more expensive brands without the high price tag. Definitely one of the better affordable skincare products I’ve tried.
