Kino (12" 33 rpm LP, released 10.6.2009)
The latest release by Vinyl Jam is a mixture of jazz-rock and funky grooves with a feeling and edgy melodism reminiscent of a "big movie" soundtrack.

Complimented with fragile and sweet voice of vocalist Antonia Dahlström, there are complex sound textures, exploring all nuances of vintage keyboards and effects. The record is produced in a fully analogue environment with minimum overdubs, following our label's slogan "like in old glorious times". Recorded at VinylJam studio and mixed at Clonework studio. Direct-from-tape mastering was done by Graeme Durham (the Exchange studios, London). Produced by Andre Solomko. Vinyl Jam Records/Bisamedia (BISAM00003).
