these are very cool artwork based on the waveforms of classic techno/bleep/rave tunes - AFX, Squarepusher, Vibert, LFO etc. |

eh. they're not distinct; all artists look the same. this is like something warp's marketing department would shart out on a rainy day. pass. |

on the plus side, it has gotten me thinking about how i can make a buck off of other artists' popularity. |

i'm half serious, there are some good marketing 101 lessons, here. he blathers on about his choice of cardstock and silk-screening as if it were something unique and amazing. it's sort of like how the waiter will blather on at a fancy restaurant, dropping all sorts of keywords designed to make you react more positively to the food: "Silkscreen printing is a traditional, versatile technique" ... "minimise the use of natural resources and were the first screen printers in the UK to use 100% solvent-free water-based inks" what is this, fucking whole foods? no, this a printout of a computer FFT algorithm sent to a local printshop |

you want to impress me, do some escher lithograph carving that actually represents the music in a way that isn't "the computer generated this and it look kinda cool" |

we also have: favorable quote blurbs from celebrities, a "limited edition" air to drive impulse purchasing, and deftly targeting a specific market segment. |

"deftly targeting" a tiny underground music scene in which he also happens to be a fan of the music. i doubt this is a cynical moneymaking enterprise, lol. i'm sure doing Daft Punk prints would be easier... as someone who also runs labels and does projects like this, i can tell you this isn't the scene to target if profit is what you're after! :-) but hey ho, there's always cynics i guess. same bloke also made |

that looks much better. this is still crap, though. essentially lifts warp's design aesthetic and drops in a waveform styled like a k-hole. if not for the "IDM" angle, would you have bought this? even given it a second thought? if it looks good on your wall and you're happy with the price, well, god bless. i just can't stand the bullshit some days, u noe |
