Surprise Chef - The Positive And The NegativeThis release is a special one; a moment where the two halves of the Mr Bongo record label unite, our heritage re issues and our contemporary artists roster. Minoru Muraoka's 'The Positive and the Negative' is a firm favourite at Mr Bongo. It sees a master of the shakuhachi, a traditional bamboo Japanese flute, flex his prodigious skill resulting in a unique mix of breakbeat jazz and Japanese folkloric music.

This release is a special one; a moment where the two halves of the Mr Bongo record label unite, our heritage re-issues and our contemporary artists roster. Minoru Muraoka's 'The Positive and the Negative' is a firm favourite at Mr Bongo. It sees a master of the shakuhachi, a traditional bamboo Japanese flute, flex his prodigious skill resulting in a unique mix of breakbeat jazz and Japanese folkloric music. 'The Positive and the Negative' featured on the 1970 'Bamboo' album, which Mr Bongo reissued in 2019. Heralded by DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, Egon, and many others. The record's cult status had us thinking how could we pay further homage to a sublime track such as this. The opportunity came to us in an email from Melbourne's Surprise Chef with a link to the fabulous reinterpretation of the track which they had just recorded. Forged in their signature sound, "The Chef" have made 'The Positive and the Negative' their own whilst simultaneously treating the original with utmost respect. The shakuhachi and koto have been replaced by synths and guitars, but the breakbeat psychedelic vein flows richly through both instruments The 7" vinyl format was the right fit for this release, so the original Minoru Muraoka recording which clocks in over nine minutes has been edited into a 7" version to accompany Surprise Chef's new take.

Fantastic Fragrance Free Vitamin C
Really nice Vitamin C product. It goes on nicely without any off putting scent. I tried this one after trying another Vitamin C serum my dermatologist recommended, but the consistency and smell of the other one makes this one a dream to use in comparison. Instead of a dropper, it is dispersed using a pump. The consistency is thin, but not watery. It does not leave my skin feeling sticky. I love not having it drip all over my face. Leaves a nice glow without being shiny. Time will tell how effective it is at fading brown spots, but as with the other Good Molecules products, this is a great product for a great price.

Great buy and a have to try
This is a very nice vitamin C serum/cream. It spreads nicely, so you do need a lot. A little really does go a long way. I wash my face, apply serums, and then apply this on top before my moisturizer. It doesn't pill up at all for me. In fact, it layers really well. It's dry time is fairly quick, and it's a GREAT value for your money. It's also not oily at all. I've been using it for over a week now and I can tell my complexion is brighter and the one dark spots are s bit lighter. I'd say it's pretty effective.

Nice creamy texture
I like this serum because it's more like a cream rather than the oily types of serums. It goes on nice and softens my skin. I'll know more over time when I use it longer.

Brightened My Skin and Feels Lightweight
I’ve been using this Vitamin C serum consistently and I really like how lightweight and gentle it feels on my skin. It absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky feeling and layers well with my moisturizer. After a few weeks of use, my skin started looking brighter and more even, especially around dark spots and dull areas. I also appreciate that it did not irritate my skin or cause breakouts. The packaging is simple and the product feels high quality for the price. A great addition to my skincare routine!
