Coaster is the latest Quantazelle album: a beverage coaster that comes in
a carrying case with a wrist-strap and a detailed user's guide. Each is
hand-assembled, signed and dated as well. Here's a photo:

here's a quote about Coaster:
"Quantazelle falls somewhere in the downtempo IDM category and at times
is definitely danceable. But she does this weird thing where she slams
samples into places where they shouldn't fit, but they do. It's almost
simplistic but it works. Braking (track 1) and Belmont Killa (track 4)
are good examples. Voice samples that ring out like the guy next to you
at a concert that has to sing along to every word. Pianos, strings and
machinery that all do battle for your attention. It definitely keeps you
on your toes, allowing the music to stay direct but interesting - it's
not exhausting like a lot of the other music in this genre.
The nice change I've noticed in this album is there's more emphasis on
melody. Almost to prove this, Late Blazing Kinch Theme (Track 3) and
Pansy Beatmatch (track 6) are a lot more straight forward melodically
and are just gorgeous. The scratchy samples aren't left out, they're
just put in their place. Both are very pretty little romps into an
electronica netherworld. " -MODSQUARE
