ناوسيكا من وادي الرياح: ألبوم الصور LP

The vinyl itself is incredibly quiet and flat, letting the orchestral pre-production pieces breathe in a way I didn't expect. Listening to this before seeing the finished film adds such a unique layer to the experience.

The jacket art of the Torumakian soldier is even more striking in person, and the pressing captures the pre-film score's delicate flute and strings with real warmth. Only gripe is the sleeve arrived with a slight corner bend, but the record itself plays flawlessly.

The jacket art really captures that Torumakian aesthetic, and the vinyl itself has a nice weight to it. I wish the sleeve included a lyric sheet or liner notes about the pre-film production process.
