LP version. Includes download code. Last time around, they were all about vocal harmonies from NYC to Cape Town and massive guitars from Portland to Düsseldorf, mixed with clattering beats from Berlin to Detroit, but now, Munich-based trio Aloa Input leave Earth altogether with their sophomore release, Mars etc. Dropping just over a year after their 2013 debut Anysome (MORR 125 CD/LP), Mars etc. Finds Aloa Input dashing through the better part of recent music history and taking off for the red planet. Terrestrial life condensed, the album is an experimental study in hands-on sonic set theory; both a stunningly wild and unbridled beast and a long-overdue update to 1977's Voyager Golden Records. Florian Kreier (aka Angela Aux, vocals/bass), Cico Beck (aka Joasihno, live member of Ms. John Soda and the Notwist; electronics/drums), and Marcus Grassl (guitars/vocals) launch themselves and their increasingly cosmic network of influences (including world music, krautrock, hip-hop, folk, and more) into outer space. Opening track "Far Away Sun" is all kiddie samples vs. Insane Jel-influenced beats, and while "Perry" nods enthusiastically to Mr. Beck Hansen, the inscrutable "Vampire," based on a Pocket Piano melody, seems to go for a last round on deserted roads (think Jarmusch). Elsewhere are disguised political statements ("Brother") and unhinged doors that swing and float in empty space ("The Door"). "21st Century Tale," a piece emulating Hymie's Basement's similarly titled pop hymn, is probably the most wide-eyed Aloa track of all time. It's a rather mellow confession of a maniac at first, until it drowns in a madcap collage of Disney soundscapes. "Hold On" is - like the entire album - a bit rough around the edges, more beat-driven, playful, expansive, and deeper, a tribute to Hunter S. Thompson that flickers like old, beaten VHS tapes, whereas indie anthem "BlaBla Theory" is banging enough to send school kids into a frenzy. The band pack a few all-time favorites (Beck, the Flaming Lips, the Beatles, Eels, Dylan, the Beach Boys) into a single track ("Mad As Hell"), and then close it out with "Ruth the Communist." to a spectator, shades and field glass at the ready, it would have looked like this: there's a humming sound inside the rocket-like vehicle, the countdown's over, flames start shooting up, and there's smoke as well - but luckily, Aloa Input managed to keep that keyboard-charring cable fire in check as well. Co-produced and mixed by Olaf Opal.

Soft and delicious, but pricey (but worth it if you care about health)
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Ugh, I wish these weren't so pricey, but I know it's because of the high-quality and I really do care about that. I'm willing to pay a bit more of grass-fed and finished meat. And these are the perfect quick snack. They're delicious, they're not hard and impossible to bite/chew like some meat sticks, and they give you clean nutrition. I didn't find them particularly greasy either. The packaging is impossible to open, but I wonder if I got a bad set - all of them are fully sealed at the top where normally there are two pieces so that you can peel the package open. All of mine require scissors to cut open which is frustrating but not the end of the world. Again, not sure if that's standard packaging or just a flaw on the ones I got. In any case, they are great and I have already repurchased!

DELISH
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Jalapeño
My entire family LOVES these meat sticks. You can taste the freshness. The texture is meaty, No greasy film, no nasty ingredients. I was sold after reading about the fermentation process of these meat sticks. Excellent flavor. I’ll never stop eating these. Jalapeño are my favorite, they aren’t too spicy.

Ten star quality and hands down the best I've ever had
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
I had a health practitioner suggest I increase protein intake and add in some game meats (venison, bison, elk) along with beef. I found Paleo Valley venison and beef sticks as a great solution to add these to my diet without a big bite in my budget. Paleo Valley provides several beef sticks that are all tasty and will appeal to a variety of consumer preferences though my personal favorite is the venison. All their sources are grass fed and finished, pasture raised and finished. You can instantly taste the difference in quality with your first bite. The sticks are firm and moist, nicely flavored and are simple to carry around as a quick snack or extra protein boost. I found I have less interest in sugary or carb-filled snacks by eating a quality protein source. Many other brands I've tried are hard, dry, heavily spiced and don't really taste natural. Not so with Paleo Valley. As a company, I found them to be very health conscious and have other supplements available, along with really useful educational tips for a healthier lifestyle. I think it's important to leave good reviews when I find something that's exceptional quality and Paleo Valley fits that bill.

BEST GLUTEN FREE BEEF STICKS!
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
I have bought these mulitple times and now have decided to become a monthly subscriber. I love the fact of the "natural" ingredients, these are truly GLUTEN FREE with no hidden ingredients. The taste is amazing and has the perfect amount of spices, not to much but by NO means bland either. They are always fresh and last a long time. They are never dry, not one single time.

Half a bad batch?
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Unsure if I got a bad batch, ill explain why I gave it a 3.
First four I had had the consistency of a banana and just tasted extremely off. It was oily, greasy, and the texture was just not something I ever experienced, and ive had venison/beef sticks before. It was pretty disgusting
I brought them to work to ensure they didnt go to waste and kept one
The one I had was perfect flavor, texture, non greasy and exactly what I had expected. Checked with the coworkers I shared them with and theirs were fine.
It leads me to believe maybe it was a bad batch? If they were all like the first few id say 0 stars, if they were all like the last id say 5
