Poor animals! It&#8217;s probably not too hard to find now you&#8217;ve seen the above image, but see if you can spot it if you have a copy of the album yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, like all good Hospital record covers, the artwork is a nod to another obscure artist- under the usual direction of Chris Goss, this cover is based on a really handsome old poster by a Russian designer called Alexander Rodchenko. Hopefully my Sputnik additions and hand-drawn type add a bit of my own artistic merit to it though!<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re into Drum &amp; Bass (and let&#8217;s face it, you probably are if you&#8217;re sitting here reading this, as nobody seems to know me outside of this little world), go buy the album!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/trickartt\/4074981013\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-557\" title=\"A very designer-ish photo of printed matter\" src=\"http:\/\/trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DSC_0280.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0280\" width=\"570\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DSC_0280.jpg 570w, https:\/\/www.trickartt.com\/notes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/11\/DSC_0280-250x169.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to Hospital&#8217;s offices at The Purple Gates today, and while I was there, I managed to pick up some finished copies of the new Future Sound of Russia album.
