I had forgotten how good this album album was and stumbled across it yesterday while getting old work off an external hard drive. Invigorating stuff, great music to work to.

Wiki info: ‘released on 26 May, 2003 on Ninja Tune. The album contains re-workings and thematic reprises of some of the music from their previous album, Every Day. The album comprises the soundtrack to a re-released version of the then ground-breaking 1929 silent documentary film, Man with a Movie Camera from Russian director Dziga Vertov‘.

The artwork for the cover is well handled. It is designed by DJ Food, who goes under the name Openmind Pseudonym when designing. Here’s a decent article on the piece.

I came across this inspiring site yesterday which extensively documents the past posters of the Olympic games. It’s amazing to see how the graphic style of the country hosting them comes through in the designs. The standard in the collection is pretty high by and large, but a couple of years really stand out… Mexico – 1968, Munich – 1972, Russia – 1980 to name a few.

Apologies for being off the radar for the last while. Christmas was hectic and I moved into a new office space in the new year and to be honest, I have just been a lazy shite about updating this blog. So, first up, an excellent poster series by Exergian. Website & blog. Shop for the series here.
