Onderstroom present a reissue of Glorious Din's Closely Watched Trains, originally released in 1987. How a boy from the Sri Lankan jungle formed the greatest post-punk band you've never heard. Fronted by an intense singer with an oblique songbook and a mysterious past, Glorious Din was unlike any other group to emerge from San Francisco's '80s underground. With singer Eric Cope, the chosen persona of a Joy Division-obsessed Sri Lankan boy who travelled halfway around the world to follow his punk dream. The multifaceted nature of the '80s scene - encompassing everything from three-chord thrash punk to garage-band pop, experimental art rock, and atonal noise - can seem baffling to outsiders. Glorious Din mesmerizing sound instantly gets under your skin via their non-standard drum patterns, Eastern-sounding guitar melodies, a melodic bass in pole position, and a dissociative singer. The enigmatic group helped total unknowns gain recognition and were the uncommon glue linking Faith No More, the Dead Kennedys, and Michael Franti, as well as R.E.M. and the Cocteau Twins. Glorious Din's appeal was their mysteriousness: a quartet of mismatched musicians not necessarily playing their chosen instruments, with the obscure lyrics of their intense frontman near impossible to decipher. The group imploded after only three years, but their cult appeal has lasted far longer through their two albums and related material. Glorious Din's second album, Closely Watched Trains, had a very different sound from it's predecessor. Eric was listening to a lot of Nick Drake, so they mixed the vocals and guitar much louder than the other instruments. Nevertheless, the album showed a growth and maturity on the band's part. Paget plays a metal dobro on some numbers, which adds a sheen of folk to the post-punk proceedings, as heard on the opener "Stilt Walkers". "1651 Map" has Cope seemingly recounting a colonial uprising or an industrial dispute over a sparse rhythm led by Paget's minimal guitar, and early number "Voices Everywhere" is here reprised as a joyous blast, the lyrics speaking of a pending arrival. Paget is well-represented with "Red Dirt", which has fantastic modulated bass from Heeschen, "Circle Star", another freedom track, and the melodious "Blood". Now exactly 30 years later, Closely Watched Trains is still a more than rewarding listen and a vivid document of the times. Cover reconstruction by Jeroen Wille. Includes booklet with interview and liner notes. Remastered by Equus. 180 gram vinyl; Edition of 1000.

Water Comes Out Clean and Tastes Good!
Style: Standard, Size: 2 Count
I had a Brita filter while I was in college, and so naturally, I needed to buy the water filter replacements on occasion. These are the original ones from Brita, and they work as well as you would expect! They purify the water you pour into the pitcher, and it tastes good (at least in my opinion)! They feel pretty well made, and I haven't had any issues where the water has come out tasting gross or it getting clogged. It works well, and fits nicely into my pitcher. I've heard others face issues with third-party water filters, so it feels nice to buy the original ones and for them to work without issue.

Very good quality Nitrile gloves useful for sanitary and even mild work around the house protection
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
I've been using these gloves for years and have been very pleased with them. They fit very well, are thick enough to provide adequate protection, but thin enough to provide a good feel and ability to do tasks requiring finger dexterity. They are a blueish purple and come in sizes to fit most any hand. They do not have talc, so if you have sweaty hands, these are liable to be an issue if worn for extended periods. I use them as a caretaker for personal hygiene activities, bed baths, etc. They have never ripped and in some cases, I 've reused them with no issues. The are definitely good value for money.

Great for refinishing work
Size: Large (Pack of 100)
Good quality gloves and the size (large) fits great. Easy to put on and to remove. I use these for applying wood stains and polyurethane. They're thick enough to provide the appropriate protection yet allow for a minimal loss of dexterity so I can get into small crevices when doing highly detailed surfaces. These are durable enough to be reused. Been using these for the past few years and will continue with them. It ain't broke.

I love these gloves
Size: Small (pack of 100), Size: Small (pack of 100)
Nice gloves I recently started getting the icks from touching raw meat. (I stopped smoking 3 pks a day after 30 years, and I smell and taste things I never imagined, some good, some not so good.) So I use these in the house preparing food, I use them on the grill, or inside I use more gadgets. These are great for cleaning up, roommate take off and leave dirty dishes that are embarrassing you, these gloves help with the ick. These gloves are pretty durable. I believe they're not rated for heavy chemicals, but normal around the house stuff these are great. They stretch appropriatly. My husband is a mechanic and he likes his gloves super tight so he can still feel everything I like the color, close to my favorite color. Many uses for these gloves. They're for everything. They keep the yuck off your hands!! Great price 5 stars
