The 1973 album "Brain Salad Surgery" may best be known for it's unique artwork by the visionary futuristic surrealist Swiss artist Hans Rudolf Giger, known simply as H.R. Geiger.
Geiger, who died yesterday, 12 May 2014, aged 74, described his work as "biomechanical," was also influential in the motion picture Alien. As part of the design team, he won an Academy Award for Best Achievement for Visual Effects for the work. Last year, he, along with musician David Bowie, late authors J.R.R. Tolkein, Judith Merril and Joanna Russ was inducted into the "Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame."
The Emerson, Lake & Palmer trio album "Brain Salad Surgery" was preeminent among the quintessential progressive rock albums made during the '70's, and is considered among - if not their best work.

My trusty CDV-700. It's a little bit scratched but works fine. On the side is a little LM386 amplifier in a box to make the clicks audible.
I plan on modifying the speaker and probe connections to make connecting amplifiers/scalers and other probes easier.
I have been a fan of Teddy Geiger since middle school and have been to his concerts/met him a few times already but a few weeks ago I was lucky enough to photograph his concert right next to him on stage! I also got to take some pictures backstage before and after the show as well! I can definitely say I was ecstatic the whole entire time!
See all the images from the concert on my Facebook!

Radium dial onto a Mig aircraft pressure indicator. This one is not too hard, only 4.2 µSv per hour. The background level in my area does not exceed 0.20 µSv per hour. Beware of WW2 era aircraft indicators, some of them are really bad and can easily reach 20 to 50 µSV or even more... The radiation meter is also made in USSR, of course.
It was such a pleasure to work with both Kong and Martie. Two talented artists and two really nice people always make it a double treat!! We had a great catered Chinese lunch that day at the opening! I now wish I had prepared a doggie bag for the road home.... the food was very good.
....and yes, Martie's lovely long hair is real! I am told by my mom that Martie mentioned it is really good to have ...when needing to swat fly's! ; - ) and is also a plus when in art-performances.

More geiger puns after the break. The person holding it was our tour guy, he was ace! The tour was fairly improvised and he also didn't mind taking us to fairly dangerous and radioactive places! With geiger counter armed of course.
During this part of the tour we saw the other tour group, most of the men donning ridiculous body suits laughing and joking around the memorial area. Our tour guy was a bit murked by it since people obviously died during the explosion.
Chernobyl at Ukraine. A wonderous day of urbexing around an evacuated city. Filled with murky walls, murky doors and murky floors.
The W123-series were designed by Bruno Sacco and Friedrich Geiger and were presented in Jan. 1976.

There were reissues in 2014 and 2015, so if you don't want to shell out more money for an original grab one of those. I don't have the reissue, so I don't know the quality of the pressing compared to the original.
Great record!
i want zhe americum tube!!

CRITICAL ASSEMBLY
THE SECRETS OF LOS ALAMOS 1944:
INSTALLATION BY AMERICAN SCULPTOR JIM SANBORN
------------------------------
In Critical Assembly (1998-2003), Jim Sanborn has re-created the moment in 1945 when human beings first fashioned a practical device powered by nuclear fission. It was called the "gadget" We know it today as the Trinity bomb. When it exploded on July 16 in the New Mexico desert, it permanently changed the human condition.
The place Sanborn takes us to is Los Alamos, in the 1940s a secret town known to the outside world only by its mailing address, Post Office Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The scene is a small building in an isolated canyon, far enough from other buildings to contain the radiation. On the tables are "criticality experiments," their purpose to determine how much plutonium 239 can be packed into a bomb for maximum yield without making the bomb unsafe to handle.
Electronic instruments, hardware, furniture, tools and materials used by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory during the 1940's and 1950's were acquired by the artist during a six year period from a variety of sources including Lab employees (some of whom had originally made or designed them) These employees had bought these objects many years later as surplus materials at public sales carried out by the Laboratory. Any materials the artist was unable to collect in Los Alamos he machined and fabricated himself.
Plutonium and highly enriched uranium are very unstable metals. If the scientists placed too much of either material in one place it would spontaneously fission or "go critical" causing a tremendous burst of radioactivity that would kill everyone in the immediate area. Conversely if too little material was used to make a bomb it would not detonate at all. This is not to say that sub-critical masses were non-hazardous, in fact they were extremely dangerous. At any given time several of the experimenters tables held a highly radioactive sub-critical mass and a hemispherical reflector (the tables were kept far enough away from each other to reduce the chance of a fission event). The sub-critical masses on the tables were so close to criticality that the reflective properties of the human hand could cause a dramatic rise in radioactivity and the scientists frequently played tunes on the ever present sound of the Geiger counters.
In the late 1940's the scientists at the Lab referred to these experiments as "tickling the tail of the dragon" and the table top work was done with very little personal radioactivity shielding. After 1950 these criticality experiments were done using robotic arms controlled from shielded rooms.
The "Physics Package" as it was called of the "Fat Man" bomb (the one dropped on Nagasaki Japan and tested earlier in Southern New Mexico) is depicted on two metal tables in this installation.
Evocative of both the brilliance of the collective human mind and the potentially devastating power of knowledge, this installation is about the allure of pure science and the ethical dilemmas scientific researchers have faced for decades.
