Double vinyl LP pressing. UK collection. By the turn of the 80s, the impact of David Bowie's ground-breaking Berlin recordings - the synths, the alienation, the drily futuristic production - was being felt on music across Europe. What's more, the records being made were reflecting back and influencing Bowie's own work - 1979's "Lodger" and 1980's "Scary Monsters" owed a debt to strands of German kosmische (Holger Czukay), new electronica (Patrick Cowley, Harald Grosskopf), and the latest works from old friends and rivals like Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and Scott Walker, all of whom had been re-energised by the fizz of 1977. Compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and the BFI's Jason Wood, "Fantastic Voyage" is the companion album to their hugely successful "Café Exil" collection, which imagined the soundtrack to David Bowie and Iggy Pop's trans-European train journeys in the mid-to-late seventies. "Fantastic Voyage" is what happened next. Bowie's influences and Bowie's own influence were rebounding off each other as the 70s ended and the 80s began, notably in the emergent synthpop and new romantic scenes as well as through the music of enigmatic acts like the Associates and post-punk pioneers such as Cabaret Voltaire. Like "Low" and "Heroes", some of the tracks on "Fantastic Voyage" are spiked with tension (Grauzone's 'Eisbär') while some share those albums' sense of travel (Simple Minds' 'Theme for Great Cities', Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'Riot in Lagos') and others find common ground with "Lodger's" dark, subtle humour (Thomas Leer's 'Tight as a Drum', Fripp's 'Exposure'). This is the thrilling, adventurous sound of European music before the watershed moment when Bowie would abandon art-pop for America and the emerging world of MTV with "Let's Dance" in 1983. "Fantastic Voyage" soundtracks the few brief years when the echo chamber of Bowie, his inspirations, and his followers created an exciting, borderless music that was ready to challenge Anglo American influences.

Not Wrinkle-Free at All — Very Misleading Description
Color: Orange-pink, Size: Medium
I specifically purchased this clothing item because it was advertised as having “Wrinkle-Free Fabric.” Unfortunately, the actual result was very disappointing. After washing and drying it according to the care instructions, the entire garment came out covered in wrinkles. There was absolutely no sign of any wrinkle-free or anti-wrinkle effect. Every wash still requires ironing, which seriously contradicts the product description. If you are buying this item because of the “Wrinkle-Free” claim, I would recommend thinking twice. The quality does not match the advertising at all.

Not Wrinkle Free
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I like these shirts because they are comfortable and cool. The microfiber fabric is smooth and breathable. However, I find that they must be ironed while damp for best appearance. They do not dry wrinkle free. Also, small specks of lint from the washer seem to get caught in the microfiber weave.

Great Shirt except for the Cuff Size
Size: 20" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: White
My only complaint is that when I use the inner cuff buttons to make the cuffs tighter, the cuffs still aren’t small enough (larger than my other shirts of the same size). My wrists are about average, or maybe even a little larger than average. This feature is important for those of us who need a larger neck size but a shorter sleeve. They don’t make a 20 inch collar with a 32/33 sleeve (for some reason)… unless you order a custom shirt for several times as much money… so I have to buy a shirt with sleeves that are too long. That works fine as long as I can use the second cuff button to make the cuffs tighter, so that the sleeves don’t ride down onto my hand when I’m wearing my suit. It’s annoying to have to take a new shirt to a tailor to have the cuff buttons relocated.
