"The music of this record was stimulated by the theory and practice ofbiofeedback. It is aimed to create a calm, relaxed, meditative mood associatedwith alpha brain wave" - original back cover. Part outsider electronic album, partphysiological experiment, part work of art, this is not your average new agerecord. The brainchild of a reclusive Israeli multimedia artist fascinated withphilosophy, technology, and sound by the name of Ami Shavit, In Alpha Moodis the result of a personal and artistic effort to both overcome a personal traumaand push the boundaries of a fledgling physiological understanding while utilizingthe burgeoning domestic synthesizer technology of the late '60s and early '70s.Shavit sought to combine his love of electronic music acts like TangerineDream, Philip Glass, and synthesizer technology with his fascination with therelatively new technique of biofeedback, but his work was interrupted when, in1973, he was conscripted into the army during the Yom Kippur War. As hestruggled to come to terms with his wartime experiences, he began addingbattlefield soundbites to his recordings, and found a sort of catharsis. He returnedto his work, and soon a longtime friend and owner of the Mango record shop (aTel Aviv institution at the time) suggested he press some of his recordings on vinyl.Rather than cull disparate excerpts from his expansive tape archive of homerecordings, Shavit began what would become the culmination of his years ofexperimentation and the centerpiece of his work with the music-induced state ofworking relaxation he called Alpha Mood. Recorded in Shavit's studio during ahandful of sessions with no post-production, In Alpha Mood was mastered at TritonStudios (where Arik Einstein and Tamouz had also recorded), pressed by He'dArzi Music (one of Israel's oldest and largest labels and manufacturers), andreleased on Shavit's Amis Records in 1977. Only 500 copies of a planned run of5000 were pressed, and, with no publicity, it was sold to discerning record-buyerswith little or no understanding of the record or it's maker outside of his status as aprominent visual artist. Apart from a handful of Alpha Mood exhibitions in Israel,those 500 copies and six remaining master tapes (including that of In AlphaMood) are the only remaining artifacts of Shavit's Alpha Mood experiments. Thisfirst vinyl reissue of In Alpha Mood was remastered from the original master tapessourced from Shavit's private archive.

A bit expensive
Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
Waited to give a review on this one because I needed several nights before I had any idea if it was as good as everyone says.
I've had a real problem finding pillows lately. Either they're too soft to provide support and I wake up with a stiff neck or they're too sturdy and I wake up with a stiff neck. Contour pillows have worked best for me, but they fall under the category of too sturdy. I also toss and turn too much at night, which means I always end up in an awkward position with contour pillows.
So I took a chance on an obscenely expensive pillow, and yes, that is the reason for one less star. I'd happily pay $70 for a pillow I thought was amazing and comfortable and perfect, but this one wasn't quite it. It IS comfortable. I have slept on it for a month now without it making my neck stiff, so it does actually provide a good balance between soft and sturdy. They make it easy to stuff the pillow to your preferred fluffiness and even provide extra stuffing if you need it, which adds to the degree of comfort.
While the pillow does provide good neck support, I toss and turn a bit trying to find a comfortable position when I first try to sleep. The stuffing within the pillow moves around at night, most notably shifting to the side and the pillow is notably flatter now than when I first purchased it. You can fluff it out, similarly to a down pillow, but it doesn't seem to retain its shape on its own. In some ways, that's good because what it does instead is try to retain a shape that fits you.
So yes, this is a really good pillow. One of the better ones you can buy. But it's really expensive for a pillow.

Best pillow I've ever had
Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
I don't really write reviews but holy buckets, Batman. This pillow is legit. Back, neck, and shoulder pain is nothing new for me; I've had scoliosis since I was a kid and hyperflexibility in my neck since birth leading to frequent muscle spasms that have caused me to miss work.
Guys. This pillow. It is the most comfortable pillow I've ever had. Like, my neck doesn't hurt and I genuinely didn't remember what that felt like. It's simultaneously supportive and soft and it doesn't sink in. The instructions are super clear to understand and the pillow fluffs up no problem if it gets a little flat. This is a game changer for me and I so hope anyone who buys this has the same experience.

I highly recommend this pillow, it’s great for someone with neck or back problems.
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Size: Queen (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love this pillow! When it says it’s adjustable it definitely means that. When you first get it, it’s hard to believe that it’s going to be anything but put it in the dryer for a few minutes and it becomes so large. You will definitely have to remove some of the stuffing unless you like a really large fluffy pillow.
The stuffing is high-quality and once it has been put into the dryer it becomes a fibrous type material that can be fluffed over and over and go back to the same size. It seems to be a high-quality cover on the outer portion and is thick and has a slight cooling affect. It has a separate cover on the inner portion covering the foam stuffing.
I ordered this because I have neck problems and it has been super comfortable for me because I’m able to adjust it multiple times depending on my needs for the particular night when I lay down. Having the extra stuffing means that if the pillow does happen to go flat I can always add the extra that I took out when I received it.
It did have a slight odor when it first came, but after putting it in the dryer, it went away immediately. I do think that’s only due to the plastic that it’s shipped in not anything with the pillow.
I think this pillow is well worth it price and I would highly recommend it for anyone that is a side or back sleeper or has any type of neck problems.

Amazing!
Size: King (Pack of 1)
Such a great pillow I’m buying another one! You can add or subtract stuffing to your liking. It’s really nice quality, quilted and soft. Best pillow ever. Super comfy and great sleep. Pretty firm with all the stuffing. Perfect the way it came with stuffing on the side. My husband loves it and now I want one.

Totally worth the money
Size: King (Pack of 1), Size: King (Pack of 1)
Right off the bat, the packaging is absolutely adorable and felt like I was buying a premium product. I love that this pillow is adjustable and as a side sleeper, I needed a pillow that is both firm and supportive of my neck. This hits all the boxes. We will be buying more of these for our bed!
