    Don't you just love that title font by the way, it sums up the era!

    1. of course Kev! I see it now! Well spotted!

      I love all that computer paranoia in the Sixties and Seventies! My fave is the Forbin Project.

  2. Its a long exposure of a light whirling in a circle for the orange bit, Kevs slightly miffed bloke, overlaid with an ocilloscope trace and the weary designer dumped on top wondering what the hell happened and why cant he get valigursky to do his covers?
