characteristics typical to the current portfolio of fujiwara are observed in his nostalgic treatment of this celebrated recording form and magazine. the third unFLOP cover art is a square multi-layered package picturing an acoustic guitar which has been cut away to reveal the inner cover. the second layer displays the image of a young model seen through the holes cut for the sound chamber of this familiar string instrument. unFLOP created a vinyl for this edition containing the story of simon fujiwara’s ‘welcome to the hotel munber’ piece, narrated by the artist himself.
