Arcadion – Fly Vision
Friday, March 20th, 2009
We’ve just completed this promo sleeve for the second Arcadion release on DC Recordings. I’ve had a little preview, and all three tracks on this 12inch are pretty amazing – one of my all-time favourite DC releases already I think?
Imagine Afrika Bambaataa born in the year 2029. (sorry, this is why I don’t review records for a living!)
London Zoo
Thursday, March 19th, 2009
Last weekend I visited London Zoo to undertake a spot of visual research (aka: babysitting my 6yo nephew).
Amongst the depressing spectacle of deranged animals locked in tiny spaces there are still some glimmers of beauty if you look hard enough.
More pics after the jump…
La Séquence du Spectateur
Monday, March 16th, 2009I’ve been watching this beautiful title sequence as part of my research for the next Emperor Machine album. La Séquence du Spectateur was a popular film review show that ran on French TV for 50 years, from 1949 to 1989.
The Emperor Machine – Black Ken
Sunday, March 15th, 2009
This is our sleeve for “Black Ken”, a new 12inch by The Emperor Machine released on DC Recordings in April. This single will act as a teaser to the eagerly awaited third album due to be released in the summer.
We’ve also finished the artwork for the album so I’ll hopefully be able to blog that up soon as well!

Vaughn Bodé – Toronto 1974
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
And here’s the great man himself. I will also post up a few Bodé treasures soon…
Cheech Wizard animation
Thursday, March 5th, 2009After seeing some Vaughn Bodé bits over at the Build+Destroy blog, I remembered this Cheech Wizard animation from a few years back by Nigel Hendrickson. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem the project was ever finished. It’s a bit too 3D and shiny for my liking, but any attempt to bring Cheech to life is always worth a look I think. I would love to see a proper 70s, dirty, scratchy, 2D version made though!
It also appears a live action movie of another Bodé classic, Cobalt 60 has just been announced and will be directed by Zack Snyder (Watchmen). Definitely one to watch out for.
