This has been under wraps for a while but I can finally reveal…
Three 45 minute sets (due to limited spaces in the Planetarium) of a specially reconstructed version of the album including exclusive material. I’m currently working with the astronomers at the Observatory, building a bespoke show for their 360 degree hemispherical screen. Tickets are very limited, only 82 for each show, so be quick if you want to see this http://ninjatune.net/shop/tickets

The third 12″ EP and download, are out today at the Ninja shop and all other good retailers. You get a 5 track EP, full colour inner sleeve and wrapround A2 sized poster with it (see above).
The album, ‘The Search Engine’ – as I’ve already posted, is also up for pre-order now at the Ninja shop in a multitude of formats, not least the limited version with art book and flexi disc for a cheap early price.
Lots of exciting news to announce soon too…
There’s so much to like in Alex Varanese‘s images and design. The restricted colour palette, abstract architecture, retro grain and lens effects, robots, analogue era technology and on and on. There is such a thing as too much talent, this is the biggest gallery I’ve done by a mile, see much more at his site.

It’s time to unveil the second print in the series of my collaboration with Henry Flint – ‘Mad Man’, from the ‘One Man’s Weird Is Another Man’s World’ cover. As with the first print, it is printed to the very high standards of the Fine Art Trade Guild on 300gsm Somerset Photo Satin which is a 100% cotton paper. It measures 64.5cm x 47.1cm, in an edition of 33, all signed by myself and Henry and is available from Scraffer.com as a pre-order, to be shipped on Nov 12th.
The difference with this print (and the cause of a slight price hike) is that each one will come with an individual doodle drawn into the blank speech bubble in the centre by Henry himself, making each print unique. The quality is hard to convey without having them in hand but these really are the most gorgeously printed items I’ve seen in a long while, of course I’m biased but I can’t think of a better way to see these images. Really excited to see all the different things Henry draws for this one 
Ninja Tune, Henry and myself are very pleased to be partnering with the Pure Evil Gallery in Shoreditch and Scraffer.com early next year to present artwork from my album and Henry’s forthcoming book ‘Broadcast’.

Lovely poster for the forthcoming Videocrash AV gig at the Rhythm Factory in London on Nov 11th, featuring DJ Cheeba plus Tom Central & Cosmo Lopez. Tom also designed this poster and there might be copies for sale on the night.
I think we’ll be seeing more and more of these, this one is Star Wars meets Full Metal Jacket.
DK and I played an excellent party in Paris last weekend at a night called ‘Excuse my French’, great venue, people and awesome flyers too.

I suppose it had to happen sooner or later, better than the actual original posters too. By Olly Moss, riffing off the Olly Moss ideas of the original trilogy.
Traveling past London Bridge station today I spotted a huge banner of Olly Moss’ Resistance 3 design, two poster designs are below.
And here’s a great little trailer inspired by his designs too

These are pretty old now but lovely nevertheless – classic Olly Moss designs for Star Trek plus newer ones for Source Code and Moon
The prints of ‘The Life Cycle of a Machine’ arrived this morning, and are now all signed and ready to be posted out by Scraffer.com. Thanks to all who bought them so far, there are still some left if you missed it first time round and we will be announcing the second print soon. For more details see here, all prints are high quality giclee and come signed by myself and Henry Flint.

Here we have what I hope to be the first in a series of limited edition signed prints of the work by Henry Flint that’s adorned my record sleeves over the last 2 years. The first one is ‘Life Cycle of a Machine’ that featured on my ‘The Shape of Things That Hum’ EP in late 2009 and was originally a B&W line drawing that Henry did which I have digitally coloured.
The giclee print is 64 x 47cm on 300gsm Somerset Photo paper which is 100% cotton and I can attest that the print is very high quality indeed. All will be signed by Henry and myself and will be available from Scraffer.com, sent rolled in a study cardboard tube. If these sell well there are plans for a further three prints featuring artwork from the album and EPs in the same format.

According to Ivan over at OnyxCube – the no.1 Mike Hinge resource on the web – Mike would have been 80 years old today. To celebrate he has all sorts of special treats that he’s dug up to show including typeface designs and memories of old friends so go and check his site out, it’s a goldmine.
Over here though I’ve got a lovely selection of images saved by my good friend Elisa from various lots on eBay that were auctioned around 2003 when his estate sold a lot of his work on. Amazingly she forwarded me a whole folder she recently found on a hard drive that she’d kept, she also won the Kiwifan 10 piece (included here left). The images aren’t great because they were taken by the auctioneer but I’ve tried to make them look as good as possible – thanks Elisa!
…only the Eagles of Death Metal will do
