Was this the cover you were looking for Ed?

There was a programme on Radio 3 on Saturday night (28th Feb) called Here and Now in which there was a small feature on it.

It shows its age now. I’m surprised that you say Chronometer as a piece is “quite terrifying – and somehow very depressing”. All I can say is that somehow passed me by, leaving me relaxed and uplifted.

And I am personally quite fond of the ‘retro’ design of the packaging, there’s even some clever optical trick with the lettering if you look at the inside from a different angle, nice ! All in all a well made addition to any electronic music lover’s catalog.

We all applaud the VCS3 and rightfully so but Zinovieff was way ahead of that in his studio…
