LP version. Includes download code. With Far Islands And Near Places Parisian pianist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Quentin Sirjacq, releases his solo debut for Karaoke Kalk. He has collaborated with Dakota Suite on the 2014 release There Is A Calm To Be Done (KK 081CD/LP). The album expands on the signature sound and composition style that Sirjacq has been cultivating for close to two decades. On Far Islands And Near Places, he notably expands on the instrumentation of his previous album Piano Memories (2013) in order to extend the resonances of the piano as well as add a more rhythmic quality. This album features a wide range of instruments such as Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, marimba, vibraphone and glockenspiel on top of the central instrument, the piano. This allows Quentin to explore new possibilities and add extra layers of richness to the arrangements. While the core melodies are often still played on piano, as you might expect - this being the instrument Sirjacq studied at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague between 1999 and 2004 as well as music composition at Mills College between 2005 and 2006, there are moments of euphoric electronics such as on "Bodies", which verges on a minimal club style. Other tracks on the album, "Orange" for example, adopt a more traditional approach. The album takes it's title from the tune "Far Islands", a subdued and haunting ballad centered around Fender Rhodes and completed with subtle percussion. As one might expect for someone who has worked with none other than the great Fred Frith, Sirjacq's compositions also lean towards experimentalism and avant-garde in places, as can be heard on the tunes "Round Dance" and "It's Raining In My House" which make such great use of the melodic percussion instruments; glockenspiel, vibraphone and marimbas. Quentin Sirjacq says "I believe music today should allow us to care more about our inner life and self-understanding in order to become more peaceful individuals and acknowledge the complexity and mystery of the human being." This is exactly what Far Islands And Near Places does. The final result is for the listener to be carried on a journey through different subconscious places, by using classical composition techniques from classical music, jazz or song writing in connection with today's way of hearing and producing music through new technologies. Fans of neo-classical, ambient and modern chamber music should listen to Far Islands.

Do not buy these
Color: Nude, Size: Women 9-13
These are terrible. They are designed to walk in. The first day I tried them on I walked about 20 steps and they basically ripped right off my feet. I didn’t think much of it and just thought ok I won’t walk in them I’ll just wear them to bed. The second pair that came with the order I wore to bed that night and woke up with holes tore in them. Terrible product

Durable
Color: Nude, Size: Women 9-13
These are form-fitting and durable. Wearing these keeps the skin moisturizer in place so it can be effective.

Great Results
Color: White, Size: Women 9-13, Color: White, Size: Women 9-13
The Jfrhuds Moisturizing Silicone Socks work very well. I ordered the white 2-pack in the large size 9-13, and each came packaged in an individual zipper bag. I wear a women's size 9-9.5, and they fit me perfectly. I can see how they have enough stretch to fit larger sizes easily and comfortably.
These socks are a lot thicker and heavier than I expected. They are rubbery with non-slip treads on the bottom. As soon as I put them on my feet, they actually felt very moisturizing and almost wet, even though I had not put moisturizer on my feet first. Plus my feet felt cold at first. It was different than I expected, I had never worn this type of sock before, and it was an interesting sensation.
They work great, and I am sold on the benefits of these socks. I wear them to sleep at night and dodn't walk very far in them. They seem pretty sturdy, but I don't want to push it and will just use them for their intended purpose. My feet weren't super dry or cracked, but the socks really helped revive them and make them super soft again. I love them; they are great for self-care and would also make a wonderful gift.

Not durable
Color: Nude, Size: Women 9-13
Only used two of them so far. One sock lasted nearly 3 wears. The other broke before I could finish wearing it the second time. Basically useless junk.

Thick Silicone Moisturizing Socks

★★★★☆ Thick Silicone Moisturizing Socks
I ordered these silicone moisturizing socks to try for dry heels. Unlike typical fabric spa socks, these are made entirely of soft silicone and are noticeably thicker and very stretchy.
When I first took them out of the package there was a visible fold line in the silicone. It appears to be from how they were folded in the packaging rather than a defect in the material. The silicone itself feels durable and flexible.
The design works like a full silicone sleeve that traps moisturizer against your skin. I applied Aquaphor first and then slid these on so the moisture stays in contact with the skin longer. One thing I noticed right away is that the silicone feels cool when you first put them on, which is actually pretty comfortable.
The bottoms have a zig-zag textured pattern that gives some grip if you need to stand briefly, though these seem better for relaxing while moisturizer absorbs rather than walking around much.
The ankle opening is the tightest part of the sock. It stretches, but it’s noticeably snug compared to the rest of the silicone, which helps keep them from sliding off.
For sizing reference, I wear a women’s 7.5–8 shoe and the size Large fits comfortably. There’s plenty of stretch and I can wiggle my toes easily, so they should accommodate larger feet as well.
They’re also easy to clean. After using them you can simply wash them with soap and water and let them dry completely before storing or using them again.
Overall these appear well made with thick silicone and plenty of stretch. If you use moisturizing socks or heel treatments, these work well for keeping lotion in place while your feet absorb it.
Since this set comes with two pairs for about $10, the price seems pretty reasonable for something reusable like this.
