When I first met Vadim he was in The Herbaliser’s Train Trax studios playing a record backwards with the disc suspended upside down on a roll of tape and this informed the cover image for this first Ninja release. I was going for something abstract and vaguely jazz based but was deeply influenced by Vaughn Oliver and Chris Biggs’ work at V23 (lots of images in boxes, texture, script typefaces etc.) The colours on these images are the original ones and lighter because my monitor wasn’t calibrated (see also Trumpet Riffs) but I actually like the printed version better.
