Handmade!
February 5th, 2010Record cover as board game
January 30th, 2010
Stefan got in touch recently with a rather wonderful design he’d done with his friend Thomas:
It’s based around a gatefold vinyl that doubles as a submarine-themed board game. The cd booklet is a fold-out game board too with a different layout. Rules are on the back of the cd/gatefold and player markers are on promotional postcards or you can make your own.
We did the whole thing as a hand-made stencil painting and invented the rules over a bottle of whiskey one evening.

New Autechre coming in March
January 13th, 2010Great to hear of new work from the recently defunct Designers Republic. Looks like a cross between Sunn O)))’s Monoliths & Dimensions and Autechre’s Incunabula. Maybe. It’s out in March, double heavyweight vinyl, CD and digital:
Wonder what the music’ll be like!
The Best Box Sets Of 2009 | NYLVI
January 2nd, 2010
The always interesting NYLVI has a good overview of last year’s box sets – it’s well worth checking out. Your ever-reliable Hard Format has covered, er, exactly one item in their list. We hope to be covering the Kraftwerk box and the Gristleism one day… Aw c’mon record companies please send us promos! Sighs.
Happy new year everyone!
