Double LP version. Gatefold sleeve. Includes download code. Berlin's Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra returns with it's fourth album Vula. Having celebrated their ten-year anniversary with a stunning series of concerts in 2016, the 18-piece's new full-length showcases a stronger focus on harmony and melody - and yet AMEO sound no less explosive or unpredictable than before. It arrives gently, with shimmering lights, soft winds, sashaying melodies, and of course, the isotherms and isotheres function just as they should: All of a sudden, lighting strikes amid the Concord of instruments, unforeseen energies erupt and upset the rhythmic scenery. Making a combined effort to create sheltering patches of harmony within the unfolding drama, leader Daniel Glatzel and his 18-piece "working band" set out to harness album number four: Vula. Another musical tour de force that connects too many dots, decades, traditions and genres to mention, Vula is quite a different beast compared to it's live predecessor or the orchestra's last studio effort Bum Bum (N 029CD/LP, 2012): There's bigger, bolder strokes, and the compositions are linked by recurring motifs and harmonies, which is why the new album sounds like one entity: It is one hour-long adventure that needs to be listened to in full. The title Vula, taken from the Tumbuka language (spoken in the northern region of Malawi), indeed translates to tempest or thunderstorm. Ranging from softly trickling melodies courtesy of older masters ("Lakta Makta Ha") and hazy interludes, the mood, vibe, and pace change faster than cloud formations come flying across the screens nowadays (e.g. "qwetoipntv vjadfklvjieop" with it's arrangement a' la H. Lachenmann). Head-nod bliss, motion picture soundtrack vibes, and even J.B. licks aren't mutually exclusive in these compositions, as AMEO showcase with "J Schleia", a track that nods both to Dilla/Grandmaster Flash and to Bach-era counterpoint techniques. Elsewhere, a pounding surf-rock beat metamorphoses over the course of 14 minutes ("In Light Of Turmoil"), only to see them return to patches that are surprisingly catchy and calm. The final applause turns out just as thunderous though, after the album ends with the vibrant and throbbing "Papaya Flyers IX Epsylon", a live recording that already foreshadows the group's later collaboration with Hermeto Pascoal. The entire process, from writing to intricate post-production, took almost five years.

Premium Quality, Beautiful Puzzle
Color: Usa Ball-200, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Usa Ball-200, Size: 200Pcs
I will preface this by saying that I am not usually a big fan of puzzles. Puzzles I’ve done in the past are too flimsy and there’s been too much guesswork about whether pieces actually go together. But As a huge fan of the World Cup, this puzzle was a must-have. It far exceeded my expectations! The craftsmanship is outstanding. Each of the pieces is made from thick, high-quality wood (the 5mm thickness really makes a difference), giving it a premium feel that you don’t get with standard cardboard puzzles. There’s a satisfying feel when 2 pieces go together. It actually felt like an accomplishment to finish the whole thing. The fact that it comes with a backing that allows you to permanently fix it in place and display it is another added touch that I loved. It’s just under 12 inches in diameter once complete, which looks great on the wall if you decide to hang yours once finished. I think it’s a great value when compared to standard cardboard puzzles. You can tell that there is actually a lot of thought placed into creating this puzzle.
What really sets this puzzle apart are the unique piece shapes. There are about 10 pieces that are made in themed shapes, like the Statue of Liberty, soccer players, a cleat, etc. Somehow, despite these pieces being there, the puzzle was still a challenge which took me about 2 1/2 hours to finish.
This would make an amazing gift for any soccer fan or puzzle enthusiast, especially with the excitement building around the 2026 tournament.

Officially Licensed, Officially Priced!
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
Let me first state that this is a nice package. It's officially licensed, includes everything you need to convert it to make it a permanent decoration (or at least an every four years decoration), and is of very high quality.
The pieces are really cool, I love the variety and the recognizable items. I really only have two complaints:
1. The price. It says FIFA, so you pay for it. This is a high price for a wooden puzzle of this size, as they are usually at least $10 less, plus it's always a bummer giving FIFA any more money.
2. There is a VERY strong chemical aroma, which will hopefully dissipate. The puzzle is shipped in plastic, so hopefully a little more time out of the plastic will improve that aspect.
Overall it's a fun puzzle. I found the black around the trophy to be a bit challenging, but the crazy shapes of the pieces make it easier than it would be with standard puzzle pieces. Plus the unique recognizable pieces help!
I'll give it a solid 4/5 despite my disdain for FIFA and the premium price - that is after-all justifiable to some degree given that we're a couple of months away from the World Cup. The one star deduction is purely down to the chemical aroma.

Very well made but strong wood smell
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is a really well made puzzle. These pieces are nice and thick, the laser cutting is extremely precise, and the picture is stuck on very well to each one without peeling. There is an extremely strong burned wood smell when you open the box, but it's not a bad smell to me, more like a fireplace wood burning smell. Anyone that is very affected by strong smells would probably not like this puzzle though. I also don't know how long it will take for the smell to go away, if ever, but I've had this puzzle for 2 weeks now and the box still smells strongly like wood that has been set on fire.
We haven't put the puzzle together yet, life is just been rather busy, but the couple pieces I found that did fit together went very smoothly. I like how unique the shapes are, and that there are the World Cup icons as well. This should be a lot of fun!
It did come with a clear sticker to keep it together for hanging, but because of how that sheet was folded in the box, it'll have to be attached on the back or else there will be visible seams.

Official FIFA Product
Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs, Color: Trophy 3, Size: 200Pcs
This is not my 1st Woodlux puzzle. They are well made, unique puzzles with laser cut pieces that are very precise. The FIFA 2026 World Cup Trophy puzzle is no different. This puzzle has large swaths of solid black which would seem difficult, but the uniqueness of the pieces gives you more than one way to figure out where the pieces go. Colors on the puzzle pieces are vibrant. There is a slight fire smell to the pieces, likely from the laser cutting. I found the smell to be noticeable, but not overpowering. Could be a problem for sensitive noses. 15 of the 200 pieces are soccer/FIFA shapes. This puzzle comes with a cotton drawstring bag to hold the pieces, as well as a cheat sheet, and sticky clear sheet to lay over the completed puzzle to display it as art. The assembled size of the puzzle is 9.2" x 13". This is an officially licensed FIFA product.
