Max Richter's "From Sleep" is a wonderful work of musical art. I listen to this daily, usually in the evenings, for meditation and to go to sleep. I also listen to this during the daytime, from time to time. According to Mr. Richter, the purpose of "From Sleep" is for sleep and meditation. "From Sleep" is actually an hour-long excerpt from Mr. Richter's magnum opus "Sleep", which is an eight hour long piece. You can actually find an interview of Mr. Richter talking about "Sleep" and his concept of performing this work in public on YouTube.
If you are searching for something truly relaxing, for de-stressing, or for meditation, or for sleep, by all means, get this great work. I personally cannot wait for the full eight hour recorded version!
Regarding this recording format: This work is recorded and pressed on the Deutsche Grammofon label. I am of the generation that grew up with records, and that is my preferred format, and I do have to say that DG has not disappointed here, in terms of quality of pressing, and the purity of the vinyl. DG is THE mark of quality when it comes to recordings on vinyl.
If you are not equipped to deal with vinyl, do not let this stop you from purchasing "From Sleep", as it comes in various digital formats; there is also a digital download available when you purchase this in the vinyl format.

Excellent vinyl pressing - Terrible Amazon packaging
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2021
I've read many reviews with random vinyl quality from excellent to terrible pressing. Guess I lucked out with my transparent copy. No apparent surface noise or cracks and pops. Audio fidelity is all there. Back of the album has a "Made in Germany" sticker over the shrink wrap if this info helps.This was my second copy, first copy sold and shipped by Amazon was a disaster. Package was delivered damaged with a huge bend on the vinly jacket and large dent on the vinyl corner/spine.Amazon - I wish you would train all of your distribution centers with proper vinyl record shipping practices.
