This record is worth owning on vinyl whether you have a record player or not. Although you get the same collection of images included in the CD version of the album, the small format doesn’t do the optical illusions justice. In one foot squared glory, they can really give you a headache (in the best way possible). Each of the five images in the double vinyl record contains either the band and album title or a two-tone picture of a band member. The images are created using repeating patterns and shapes but with some shapes minutely widened and thickened to create a ghost image that is only visible at certain focal lengths or when tilted. As is common and usually successful to a certain extent, Soulwax used the album theme in live shows and single releases, each with a specific pattern dictating a relevant image.
