Product Album

[Marieta Reeks]

Productstylized in uppercase as PRODUCT) is the debut compilation by Scottish electronic music producer Sophie. It was released by Numbers on 27 November 2015.[2] The 8 tracks on Product appeared as singles released from 2013 to 2015. The album was made available in "silicon bubble cases", and its release coincides with the launch of a line of apparel[a] and a "silicon product" resembling a sex toy.[4]

Product received positive reviews, The review aggregator website Metacritic gave the album an average score of 74 out of 100, which indicates "generally favourable reviews".[7] Exclaim! senior editor Stephen Carlick called the record "a snapshot of an exciting artist whose tightrope walk between sweet and scary, pop and avant-garde, has yielded some of the best singles of the past few years."[9] The Observer described the album as "disruptive, a sound pushing the limits of what constitutes pop and what is just an annoying noise you are inexplicably paying money for."[12] Sasha Geffen of Consequence of Sound wrote that "Product blurs the traditional subject/object power relationship of pop music, bending desire as easily as it bends waveforms," and called it "one of the more mischievous music objects under the current atmosphere."[18]

Product is the fourth studio album by British jazz fusion group Brand X, originally released in 1979. It features primary member Phil Collins back once again on drums following his absence on Masques. Drummer Mike Clark and bassist John Giblin also appear on this album. Two of the album's tracks - "Soho" and "Wal To Wal" - were largely recorded at Phil Collins' Old Croft home in Shalford, Surrey.[2]

So the main problem with PRODUCT, ironically enough, is one of format. Every industrialist wanting to get his or her goods to the world knows that you have to package them properly. Heard individually and spaced many months apart, the best tracks here were diamond-hard realizations of very specific sonic ideas; placed on an album alongside songs that use similar ingredients but are markedly inferior, they rattle around in the can, perfect objects in search of the right container.

Replace the helmet after any impact to the helmet

Helmets are one-time use products and impacts can decrease their effectiveness

You may not even see damage

Cracks in the shell, worn straps, and missing pads or parts are also reasons to replace a helmet

Entre 2013 y 2022, un promedio de 212,000 jvenes entre las edades de 13 y 24 visit salas de emergencia por incidentes relacionados con bicicletas, bicicletas de montaa, triciclos para adultos, scooters (con motor, sin motor y no especificados) mini bicicletas (mini moto), bicicletas elctricas, patinetas, patines y patines en lnea. Las lesiones en la cabeza son una de las lesiones ms comunes.

For 50 years, CPSC has made toys safer. Passing product safety standards and regulations means toys are less toxic, less likely to break into small parts, and more fun for everyone. See what else CPSC has worked on for a long time by checking out PSAs from when the agency was first founded on the CPSC PSA archive and this toy safety PSA starring actor Louis Nye.

Fast forward to 2017. I had some original songs I was happy with, a few traditional songs I felt I had perfected, and a fan base I thought would be willing to both contribute to and buy my music. I felt it was time to record an album.

This is probably the biggest (and least fun) question. Recording an album costs money, and usually it costs a lot of money. Keep in mind you will be paying for studio time, your engineer, your session musicians, your producer, your mixing and mastering...I could go on here for awhile (and will in a later post about budgeting).

A very rough estimate is to think about each track on the album costing around $1000.00. Consider how much of your own money you can put up for recording, and if you have other means of getting funds, like grants, loans, and crowdfunding.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission's new album features some of its iconic mascots on the cover and seven safety-focused tracks. U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission hide caption

We're Safety Now Haven't We packs in six genre-spanning, safety-focused songs (seven if you count the one that also got a Spanglish version). There's an EDM banger about wearing helmets, a K-pop number about firework safety, and even a reggaeton track about smoke alarms. The artists are officially anonymous, but more on that later.

Many people don't start to really think about product safety until they have kids of their own, Galbo adds. But high school- and college-aged kids are making their own decisions all the time, often without thinking through the potential consequences.

"One of the things we want to do with this album is just kind of provide young people a reminder that, 'Hey, it's important to wear a helmet when you're riding a bike. And if you do it, you'll be in a better position to live a healthier and safer life,'" Galbo said. "It's important to remember that when you're walking with your phone to look up so you don't fall down a manhole cover or accidentally walk into traffic or something."

The album can be found on the CPSC's website and YouTube channel as of Wednesday. Galbo says the agency eventually hopes to get it on Apple Music, Spotify and ideally playing on radio stations, too. Plus, all of the songs are in the public domain, so people can download, remix and repost them from there.

"Helmets are a one-time use product and impacts can decrease their effectiveness/You may not even see damage/Cracks in the shell, worn straps, and missing pads or parts are also reasons to replace a helmet," raps the bridge of hip-hop track "Protect Ya Noggin," which the artist also recorded in Spanish.

It's no coincidence that two of the songs are about wearing helmets. An average of 212,000 young people were injured in incidents related to bikes, scooters, e-bikes, skateboards and other such micro mobility devices between 2013 and 2022, per the CPSC, with head injuries among the most common.

"I know I'm messing with a fatal heat/And I should walk away and let it be/But we lightin' sparks with our energy," sings the K-Pop group about fireworks, which injured some 3,170 young people between 2013 and 2022.

"We wanted to kind of dig back into our own history a little bit for that track," Galbo said. "It was kind of funny looking at a PSA that was made 50 years ago where the protagonist is suggesting creating a marshmallow as a toy. And here today, those types of 'mallow' toys are one of the most popular you can find."

There are several other clues that this isn't your average musical album. This includes the "warning" label on the cover and the fact that every song starts with a man's voice saying "thanks to the people at CPSC."

"It's kind of a fun play on the past and also having to look forward, and ... the responsibility that we all have to make safe choices in our lives, while CPSC tries to make sure that companies are making safe choices with their products," he added.

Safety messaging looks very different in 2023 than in 1973, and the album is just one example. The CPSC has gained a considerable following on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) for its informative memes, starring a cast of quirky animal mascots.

Some of them are featured prominently on the album cover. Potato the dog stands on an ATV, Handsome Ron is the bird flying on a smoke alarm, the cat Copernicus Jackson holds a cell phone and Quinn the quarantine fox is wearing a bike helmet.

"These are kind of the big characters that we think people have come to recognize on our social media platforms, and so we wanted to make sure that they were front and center on this album," Galbo said. "We could have just slapped our logo on there really big, but we thought this would be a lot more fun."

"As we started diving into the data and seeing what was hurting kids in high school and college, we kind of walked away like, 'Instead of doing one song or trying to do two songs, let's just do six,'" he explained. "I [thought] that would broaden the perspective and open us up to just reaching kids in so many different ways."
