Fabio from Rio has been increasingly helpful with this blog. Lately, he's been encouraging me to change the background image of various album covers. He thought that instead of random officially released albums, it should consist of covers I've made for this blog. I had to agree with him. So he helped me make that change. I selected some covers more or less at random. The only logic was that I tried to include the most popular musical acts on this blog.
So that's one change. Another is that Fabio designed a new header for this blog page. He came up with the vinyl record logo on the left, using AI. On the right, he and I agreed we could have what looked like part of a shelf of CDs. At this point, they're all albums that have been posted here, randomly selected. But we may change what albums are there. We'll see. We're open to suggestions.
One more thing. If you look closely at both the background image and the stack of CDs, one album that can be seen is "The Maximum Wall" by Pink Floyd. I've been talking about posting that for... well, let's just say a very long time now. But it's close. It's all finished, and I'm just waiting for a little feedback from a few people. So expect that in the next few days, knock on wood. In the stack of CDs it's very thick, because it's actually a quadruple album!
To whet your appetite for this album, here's a couple of images we made from the 180 page booklet that goes with the album. The booklet includes imagery for every song, plus descriptions of the editing changes, if any, and quotes from band members about the song, again if any.Our priority was always to use art created by Gerald Scarfe, who did all the art for the 1979 album. But in a majority of cases, we couldn't find a fitting image for a particular song, so Fabio made one, again using AI. Or, sometimes, we were able to find other art, such as screenshots from the Wall movie.
The above image was made by Scarfe. Here on the right is a second image, made by Fabio's AI.Anyway, I hope you like the new background and header. And look forward to the "Maximum Wall" appearing here very soon.
