Music Review: Sasha - "Coma"

Almost as interesting as the track, the artwork and release plans for the singles should receive equal coverage. In a step looking both backwards and forwards, the tracks will only be released digitally and on limited edition vinyl. Perhaps the recent trend toward vinyl collections in indie-rock circles is helping with a renewed user base for electronic music as well.

The vinyl is presented as actual 12" singles, the three records combining to form an EP of new material, with apparent plans already in place for more music to be released in this fashion on into next year. Each record contains music on one side and a laser-etched design on the other, corresponding to the cover artwork. There is a high art- and cool-factor to the physical disc, and definitely takes things a notch above the standard vinyl release. Vinyl purchases are available from the artist's official website, as well as choice vinyl outlets.

The fact that new original tracks from Sasha are finally available should have fans scurrying for their wallets, both for securing the new tracks and also for fashionable weekend attire. For casual fans, it should be a no-brainer to recommend the new digital tracks, which are available from most of the major digital outlets (Amazon, iTunes, eMusic, etc.), as well as specialty electronic outlets (Beatport). The vinyl, currently at $13 a pop for each track, should obviously be considered more a collector/hardcore fan purchase, as the cost of the total EP will severely impact your monthly glowstick allowance.

But overall, the material is very promising, and should prove sufficient reason for keeping tabs on the release schedule (see, email update lists aren't such a bad idea after all).
