Towards the back end of my last stay in hospital I was allowed to leave my private room; the latest MRSA test result had come back negative thus rendering me no longer contagious - I was free to slip anchor and get a few steps in (I'd been atrophying, no two ways about it). Walking the endless corridors I battled against doctors and nurses in their scrubs, consultants, registrars, (hundreds of) visitors, gurneys, wheelchairs and various other medical flotsam and jetsam as I made my way to a sunny walled courtyard next to the cafe where I drank real coffee and absorbed some real rays (Vitamin D is in short supply in hospital, can I just tell you.) I'd been there about 20 minutes, feeling better than I'd felt in a long time, when I looked up from my book and saw what I can only describe as an image that wouldn't be out of place on any number of mid to late 80s album sleeves; probably some obscure Hugh Cornwell Japanese import. Or a rare as hens teeth Depeche Mode bootleg. That's what I thought, anyway. Anyone else looking up might just have seen four chimneys.

Whether or not I come back with #2 in the 'series' is, quite honestly, anyone's guess. Let's wait and see, shall we?
Perhaps you could make it a monthly theme with album title and genre required as well as photo?
ReplyDeleteYou hum it Ernesto, I'll play it.
DeleteSuperb!
ReplyDeleteSo much so that when Mr SDS walked past my PC screen while I was reading this he said, unprompted, "I'm sure I know that album cover...?"
Japanese ambient techno compilation for sure
