a friend gifetd me the other day record plays nice and the melodies are chosen well. but the sleeve is really rounding the whole package. the outer sleeve is cutout so you can have the insert booklet or inner sleeve be displayed in the outer sleeves bezel. kinda neat and the booklet has the games artwork 12" size aswell as composer names and year of creation. could have been a tad more info, like the revenue of the game and units produced, but namce probably was a little shy about that. overall 12 out of 10 stars. |

Those ae / hafler trio collabs had some decent packaging. Skam braille always was a nice touch. NTS sessions vinyl box set is something! Analord binder is another good one. |

I think syro is maybe the worst album cover I've ever seen. I'm not just saying that in a reactionary way I mean the idea is fine. RDJ say in an interview that he thought it would be funny to list out all of the costs in making a record. but in usual TDR fashion, there is no artistry at all (warp unfortunately keeps coming back to these guys) . For autechre albums, sometimes they use the square tool 4 times and call it a cover. It reminds me of a george costanza line in Seinfeld. "If *I* can do it, is it art?" Niche cases to the contrary for sure, but I agree with George. |

I mean the topic was artful sleeves anyway. We can talk about the concept, but unless TDR designed the font (we both know they didnt) I see no art at all from their end. Maybe some conceptual art, from RDJ himself, but let's be real RDJ album smokes that cover every which way. |

i mean i'm joking but ~ / cover i did for someone else collage-ing a bunch of stock public domain art. ~ art project for one of my own covers. a part of me that doesn't exist back then is screaming and wanting to back and adjust the color balance but, yeah, huh, maybe someone would pay for this. probably not warp. so i was just joking. but the best jokes have a kernel of poop |

wouldnt have guessed the reaction to syro, sure theres no picture or great art in this one, but the i love the conept of giving so much information, very informative about the costs and synths and a bit apologetic in my eyes. i like the raw paper feeling. its a soft touch and the blank white leaves your brainwaves to your own imagination when listening. |

I was just kidding with last msg, I don't hate it THAT much. It's all subjective anyway. It's probably simply not to my taste. I also don't much care for the Quaristice cover, sorta similar thing there. I have a hard time calling something like that actually "artful" when there are so many people capable of making art at such a high, practiced skill level, which all other considerations aside-- practiced skill is not really only display with the syro cover. It's weird, I chalk it up to the first time I tried LSD 20 years ago, but there is an audio and visual to ANY sound in my mind's eye. All sounds have a consistent abstract visual component. Kicks are spherical, always. Snares little rectangles. Everyday sounds like perhaps, a refrigerator kicking on it's compressor even has a low, grey, gravelly little image. It's all quite automatic. Album covers, music videos, other materials associated with the artist outside of the sound REALLY do seem to contribute to these visuals at times, so I can appreciate what you're saying with "leaving it to the brainwaves." |
