That Was The Week That Was — 26th July 2026

I never know what I'm going to find when I dig into the crates at a record store. Sometimes it's not even about the music but a cover jumps out at me.

And so it was when looking through the crate marked "£2" I chanced on this classic cover by Josef Albers created in 1959. Worth two-quid for sure.

To quote this article from Cabinet Magazine:

From 1959 to 1961, the artist Josef Albers designed seven LP album covers for Command Records.

I always loved the designs of these covers so I was thrilled to actually own an original copy.

Those dots on the front got me thinking that it was a good inspiration for a quick audio reactive thing in Touch Designer.

Now I just need to find the other albums to complete the collection and see what else I can cook-up.
