Review / Quirky and obscure, but definitely some good music on this album by Josefa Vobruby, from the Czech Republic. There are a variety of sounds on this record, influenced from American jazz, funk, and even some classical music. It’s a decent listen, but the cover design puts this one over the top for me.
Design / One of the best covers I’ve ever seen! Odd, but super cool. The album title “Variace” translates to “Variation”, so the two sets of headphones could be a visual for that metaphor, however, I’ve yet to figure out the use of the orange. Josefa Vobruby peeking through the side window giving the nod and fist is a nice touch. The type is simple and clean, looks to be a tightly-kerned Helvetica.

I think Let Cmel†ka is the Jay Dee sample off The Shining… anyone?
