Lovely retro packaging for House Inustry’s ‘Eames Alphabet Blocks’.

“It shimmers around the soul and brings you up slowly but surely. Once you’re up, it’s a pure gliding experience for at least an hour. The tracks commonly start linear with layers building up to create reinforced walls of blissed-out dreamstate psychedelia.”

Psychedelic indie pioneers Sunray chose to work with ElectricSun (formally React) to design and create the artwork for their album release in 2007. Having previously released a series of 12″ vinyl and CD singles which were well received on the underground scene, their second long-player was met with critical acclaim from the likes of Uncut, Wire and Record Collector magazines.
A transparent jewel-case was chosen to allow for more imagery inside and the booklet was printed printed 4 colours plus silver. The CD face was printed in a single colour on a white background.

This Farrow-designed special edition of Spiritualized’s ‘Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space’ is available for pre-order on Amazon and features remixes, demo versions and accapellas. It was a great album to begin with, perhaps this is one for the major Spiritualized fans. I’m not sure it’s an improvement on the original white version with the 3″ CDs in pill-tray type packaging, but it is certainly no less beautiful. Original posting: SeptemberIndustry.
