Double vinyl LP pressing. UK collection. By the turn of the 80s, the impact of David Bowie's ground-breaking Berlin recordings - the synths, the alienation, the drily futuristic production - was being felt on music across Europe. What's more, the records being made were reflecting back and influencing Bowie's own work - 1979's "Lodger" and 1980's "Scary Monsters" owed a debt to strands of German kosmische (Holger Czukay), new electronica (Patrick Cowley, Harald Grosskopf), and the latest works from old friends and rivals like Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel and Scott Walker, all of whom had been re-energised by the fizz of 1977. Compiled by Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and the BFI's Jason Wood, "Fantastic Voyage" is the companion album to their hugely successful "Café Exil" collection, which imagined the soundtrack to David Bowie and Iggy Pop's trans-European train journeys in the mid-to-late seventies. "Fantastic Voyage" is what happened next. Bowie's influences and Bowie's own influence were rebounding off each other as the 70s ended and the 80s began, notably in the emergent synthpop and new romantic scenes as well as through the music of enigmatic acts like the Associates and post-punk pioneers such as Cabaret Voltaire. Like "Low" and "Heroes", some of the tracks on "Fantastic Voyage" are spiked with tension (Grauzone's 'Eisbär') while some share those albums' sense of travel (Simple Minds' 'Theme for Great Cities', Ryuichi Sakamoto's 'Riot in Lagos') and others find common ground with "Lodger's" dark, subtle humour (Thomas Leer's 'Tight as a Drum', Fripp's 'Exposure'). This is the thrilling, adventurous sound of European music before the watershed moment when Bowie would abandon art-pop for America and the emerging world of MTV with "Let's Dance" in 1983. "Fantastic Voyage" soundtracks the few brief years when the echo chamber of Bowie, his inspirations, and his followers created an exciting, borderless music that was ready to challenge Anglo American influences.

Comfortable but NOT SEAMLESS.
Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack), Size: Medium, Color: Multicoloured C (5-pack)
They are soft and well-made, but they are definitely NOT SEAMLESS, which was my whole point in buying them. There are two cross-seams, as well as a fairly thick hem seam on the legs. If you have a problem with inner thigh or genital chafing, you may want to look at a different brand. Otherwise, these are comfortable and well made. FYI, the ones I received had a matching inner liner, not a white one as some reviewers have noted.

Buying another package
Size: Large, Color: Multicoloured D (5-pack)
Oh my gosh, I love these!!! They are very comfortable and not overly tight. The material is so thin and breathable, very comfortable. Love the colors. Am buying another package! I'm in perimenopause and these definitely keep me cooler than my tradition cotton underwear.

Comfortable but Runs Small
I got the wirarpa Men’s Cotton T-Shirt 2-pack in XX-Large (Black/Gray) and while the shirts are really soft and breathable, they do run small. The XX-Large feels a bit tighter than expected, especially after washing. The cotton material is great and comfortable, but I would recommend sizing up if you’re looking for a more relaxed fit. The classic crew neck design is versatile, and the shirts are well-made. They hold up well in the wash and maintain their softness. Even though the sizing is a bit off, the quality and price are still excellent for the value. If you’re okay with a slightly snug fit or decide to size up, this is still a great purchase!
