Let's face it, the DNA of a supermodel who creates delicious fantasies in our eyes is nothing really pretty to look itself, being DNA and merely squiggly strands of chemicals. In fact the supermodel DNA is pretty much the same in appearance as the DNA of the overweight civil-servant who crushes dreams for a living.

Such is the miracle of vinyl. Sure our glorious ephemeral albums of pressed audio magic are made pf PVC and acetate combinations that create the same ugly floors that cover high school cafeterias everywhere.

The audio storage that has been etched into the chemical polyvinyl chloride and polyvinyl acetate is the DNA of a magical and mysterious kingdom that is a hybrid of science and the soul.

The vinyl album is the greatest achievement in all the history of mankind. It is the ultimate alchemy where fossil fuels been turned into gold.

This is the golden currency of our dreams and our memories. This is our Base Vinyl
