The industrial design and concept art still feels so fresh. On the topic of jazz, I hear Bitche's Brew in my head overtime I see Blade Runner. Maybe I should try to create a jazz playlist to listen to over the film...a la Dark side of the Moon and The Wizard of OZ.

There is a book on "Blue Note Cover Art" but the ones i see are more cubist or Mondiranish.

I suppose i could google up some examples, but it's kinder late.

I am thinking of the first cover for "City and the Stars"

That never happened. Are you okay? Do you need to sit down? Here, have a glass of water. And let's never talk of "fancy text boxes" ever again, okay?

Whatever happened to the "fancy text boxes" that lasted for 5 minutes?

Clearly I have to move beyond my CTI fascination. If that reminds me of any album covers its this. (understandably)
