International reggae band Meta and The Cornerstones release their fifth studio album, Echoes of Time, recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, Wiltshire, UK. This thoughtful and reflective project brings together the stories and sounds from their recent singles into one cohesive body of work. At it's core, Echoes of Time is about awareness. The album does not attempt to resolve the contradictions of the world, but instead sits with them - examining the tension between past and present, memory and reality, connection and disconnection. Lead singer and songwriter Meta Dia writes about deeply personal moments of love, identity, and belonging, while also looking at the bigger picture of humanity and the world we live in. Musically, the album is built on the steady, heavy rhythms of classic roots reggae. However, it also branches out into a global sound. You will hear elements of Afrobeat, soul, and hip-hop woven naturally throughout the tracks. Some tracks lean into warmth and openness, while others carry a sharper, more urgent edge. Together, they create a dynamic listening experience that feels fluid, layered, and intentional.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
