The recordings have been carefully prepared for vinyl through a unique mastering process conducted by post-digital folkist Goodiepal who has also conceived and designed the unique vinyl-artwork. Therefore Touch Parking is in fact two releases in one, the second release of Lunding/Samartzis, and at the same time one in a series of Vinyl-art releases previously known as Goodiebags by the eccentric and mysterious Goodiepal.

Now, as I understand it there's something of a tale involved with this record but i can't tell you it all. So, suffice to say that it's an amazingly funny anecdote and one that had me chuckling a great deal. If you buy this and see one day see Mr. Goodiepal, you could maybe ask him yourself and he canfill you in on the details.
So, as for the music, Philip Samartzis and Rasmus B. Lunding deliver a very strange and, initially at least, impenentrable series of electronic manipulations that are at the more challenging end of the spectrum. The more attention you pay to it, however, the more you'll get what they're trying to do and the sounds become surprisingly compelling. If you're into The Goodiepal/ Mainpal stuff (and if you are, you should probably seek some help) this could definitely be one for you to check out and, as always, rest assured that you're getting a finely produced picture disc with some rune-based etchings for your supernatural pleasure.
