LP version. "The Invisible Hands is a transcontinental collaboration between Alvarius B. (Alan Bishop of Sun City Girls) and four stellar young musicians from Cairo, Egypt: Cherif El Masri, Aya Hemeda (both formerly of the popular Egyptian group Eskenderella), Adham Zidan and Magued Nagati. On Teslam, the Invisible Hands expand the already panoramic range of their eponymous debut LP with a haunting set of melodic, impeccably crafted songs whose vintage psych/hard-rock edge conjures up early Alice Cooper almost as often as it recalls Sun City Girls and 20th-century icons like Ennio Morricone and Serge Gainsbourg. The band's exquisite sonic palette is deepened by Cairo-based guest musicians Mohamed Ibrahim, Mohamed 'Moe' Asem, and Sammy Sayed, as well as by longtime SCG compatriot Eyvind Kang. Recorded in Cairo between 2013 and 2014, Teslam represents a further evolution of Alvarius B.'s peerlessly idiosyncratic pop sensibility, which is just as volatile and unclassifiable as his more experimental work. His songwriting - both on his own, and in partnership with Cherif El Masri - is marked by a unity of purpose that has compressed countless musical and emotional incongruities into a handful of sharp-edged, pitch-black jewels. A brooding track composed by keyboardist Adham Zidan ('The Great Implosion') perfectly complements the record's uneasy mood. As usual, Alvarius B.'s lyrics comprise an apocalyptic pile-up of cruel metaphors at the intersection of culture, politics and international crime. But they take on new power and new implications as sung by El Masri and Hemeda, whose seductive voices are as inviting as a welcome mat at the gates of hell. Each song stands on it's own while also fitting into a planet-sized jigsaw puzzle detailing dark associations and secret narratives that stretch back as far as the foundation of the world. Arguably Alvarius B.'s most accessible work to date, Teslam is a generously baited steel-jaw trap for the unwary listener. Like the Invisible Hands' 2013 debut, Teslam inevitably reflects the precarious political circumstances in which it was conceived and recorded. As such, it's a vivid document not just of an unlikely musical collaboration, but also of a critical moment of hope, defiance, rage and sorrow in one of the world's most venerable cities." - B. Kearney; Comes in a tip-on jacket with lyrics insert and lovely artwork.

Greasy and ineffective
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen is so greasy that it just slides off your skin. I've used a ton several times and still gotten sunburn within an hour.

One of the very few daily body and face lotion that has no bad ingredients. Free of fragrance, dyes, parabens. It adds moisture without the greasy feel.

Held Up Great in the Mexico Sun — No Burns
Size: 6 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I brought the 365 by Whole Foods Market Sport Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30 with me on a recent trip to Mexico, and it performed really well. We spent a lot of time outside in strong sun—beach, pool, walking around—and this sunscreen held up great. I applied it as directed and didn’t get burned at all, which is always the real test for a sunscreen. It goes on fairly easily for a mineral sunscreen, and I like that it’s water resistant for up to 80 minutes, which makes it great for swimming or sweating. It stayed effective even after being in and out of the water. The lotion also didn’t feel overly greasy, which is something I appreciate when using sunscreen throughout the day. Overall, this worked exactly how I hoped it would. If you’re looking for a reliable mineral sunscreen for travel, beach days, or outdoor activities, this one definitely gets the job done. I’d use it again without hesitation.
