All the gifts of life are held within these vinyl walls. For the more progressive-leaning listening cognoscenti out there, that reference is pure IYKYK — but it’s also a good way to announce that a cool Vancouver-bred band by the name of Syrinx have just dropped their sophomore LP that’s quite adroitly named Time Out of Place via Ocula Records on September 9, 2025. . .

The Grateful Dead’s self-released September 1975 LP Blues for Allah is many a Deadhead’s almost favorite album. It is indeed home to a near-perfect dizzying blend of ultra-tight playing, funk-forward, progressive, jazz-fusion-oriented music wrapped up in a handful of incredibly catchy tunes. Much of this music went on to become concert staples for the band as well, and now this pivotal Dead album rightly sees a 50th anniversary 180g 1LP reissue via Rhino. Read Mark Smotroff’s review to see if this new Allah LP should be rolled, er, snapped up sooner than later. . .

Rega’s Planar 8 turntable was inspired by the company’s flagship turntable, the Naia. Developed and engineered to capture the “essence of Naia at an affordable price,” the Planar 8 is a striking vinyl spinner that struck down our assumptions about lightweight turntables. Read Ken Micallef’s review to see if the Planar 8 table delivered the playback goods, and see if it punched above its weight class (pun intended). . .

While we’re saving our final determinations for what the best box sets of 2025 are for later in the year, the new mega-multi-LP collection from David Bowie, 6: I Can’t Give Everything Away: (2002 – 2016), is certainly a contender. In short, it’s an amazing study of the man, his music, and enduring vision. Read Mark Smotroff’s review of this massive 180g 16LP/2EP collection to see why it’s well worth the investment. . .
