The hype over plain wax is over. Vinyl can be made out of chocolate, or filled with blood, leaves, glitter, oils, human ashes,
and even decorated with wax and hair. Usually aimed at hardcore
collectors, these distinct records are frequently produced in limited
batches and, with the collaboration of artists, can be shaped into any
design and tailored to hold a range of materials. Recently artists have
mastered a sealing technique that involves trapping liquids inside
vinyl, allowing them to flow and spin as the record is playing. Take
Mondo’s Aliens record, for example, filled with fluorescent
yellow ‘Xenomorph blood,’ an imaginative retake on James Horner’s
classic 1986 score and limited to only 75 copies.
