No, the photo isn't reversed, the other way round would be unplayable. The deck has been rotated clockwise by 90 degree for some reason. The album was released in 1998, a time when vinyl wasn't doing well, and the room for the photo shoot will have been laid out by a youngster who'd only ever seen a turntable being used by a DJ while off his face.
Tash Sultana is a recent new discovery for me, and very enjoyable music.
From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tash_Sultana
"Sultana plays a large variety of instruments including guitar, keyboard, bass, percussion, beatmaking/sampling, trumpet, saxophone, flute, mandolin, oud, harmonica, panpipes; and arranges it into loop style performances along with percussive and finger tapping style guitar playing. Sultana has a vocal range stretching five octaves."
I don't really know how to describe their sound, but I think I'm hooked!
This is the 2nd album, from 2021:

Brilliant production, too.
If you have any streaming ability I would strongly suggest checking them out.
Good one!Quote:
