A sad one as this is the last release on Ntone, Ninja’s electronic / ambient / whatever sub-label, before it was folded into Ninja (not including Neotropic either). Riz had some lovely pictures of sunflowers, I think taken on a Lomo, and they were perfect for the cover. For some reason, at the printing stage, the cover picture got substituted for one of the label images hence the odd cover choice.

I never saw a proof and it was a one-off pressing so there was never a chance to correct it. Until now that is… here is the cover as it was supposed to look, close cropped sunflower and ornate type – lovely – another one for the ‘it should have looked like this’ pile.
