Sometimes the artist goes away from the traditional jewel case and comes out with something cool. Or sometimes they use the jewel case in cool ways. In your cd collection, what are your favorite cd cases / cd art? (not the music but the overall look of the package) Mine are: Speedy J - A Shocking Hobby: Ultra minimalistic paper slip that cd goes into in the side. His photocopied face on the front is pure coolness too. It's kinda creepy. I love it. Autechre - LP5: I have the frosted black case with the indented 'autechre' on the front. I consider it to be one of my cooler cds in my collection. AFX - Analogue Bubblebath 4: Even more minimalistic than the above Speedy J's case. It's very cool. Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong, Live recordings: I actually didn't know how to open this when I got it. I didn't want to unfold it cause how it was done it looked like I would break it. After fumbling around for a bit I decided to pull it apart and surprisingly that's how I WAS supposed to open it. I consider it to be one of the best cd packages there has ever been. It's a three fold package that if you pull both ends apart you're left with three 'walls' which you can stand up and there is artwork on them. The cd slips into the side of the right wall's outer edge. Req - Sketchbook: Bought this yesterday and the package feels like construction paper...although its not and is way stiffer. Its cool though cause it also looks like canvas...and the paintings on it give it that painted look ... obviously lol. Still very cool. |

The Beatles- White Album At the time (1968), it came with a big poster with lots of cool pics of those sexy Beatles (some were nude, gasp!), and four glossy photos of the Gods of Music themselves. Not to mention the all white cover was a symbol of how pure and kickass the album was. Mmmm... white. And anytime you've to TWO records worth of Beatles music, that automatically adds up to EAR CANDY GALORE!!! And the records had big green apples on it, Apple being their record label. And apples are juicy and delicious, like Angelina Jolie. |

i like the skampler compilation cd. it's like the LP5 black jewel case, but shiney with 'skampler' on the front in cool writing. and it has a braille sticker :) LP5 is v. nice as well. and the 'outspaced' cd by super furry animals is cool. it's a shaped thick PVC sleeve with a picture of a bear with it's head in a vice on the front. mine is yellow. |

Yeah that amnesiac-book is pretty! i love it! I also really like the jewel-case for Tool's Ænima. It's like a normal jewel-case, only ribbed. And the picture on the sleeve has been printed in a special way. So if you see it behind the ribbed plastic, the image starts moving as you look at it from different directions. So all those eyes move away from the flaming white light... it's awesome! |

what do you mean by outspaced Hannibal? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

'outspaced' is the name of the super furry animals 'b-sides and rarities' album. not a lot of people on the board will be fans of the furries, but this albums got some gems on it. |

BoC - Geogaddi ltd. is my fav. |
||||||||

Appart from say Frank Zappa I like it when people use a painting. Two that come to mind, the boat picture on Arab Strap is it 'The week Never atrts round here'?. Also like the rather odd picture on the Gomez cd I own. |

That reminds me something I've always wondered about maybe somebody here knows does afx do his own cd art work? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
i still think the Ae Confield CD case is one of the coolest i've ever seen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i remember a friend having this Spiritualized CD and it was inside a small cardboard box and inside it was packaged like tablets would be. You know, with the plastic bottom shaped out and the foil over the top of it. That was kinda cool. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually the Wipeout XL soundtrac had a cool case, the plastic case was crack-proof (not the drug) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like ÆNIMA's case,Salivals box and cd case, Lateralus's case is very cool too. I dont like pearl jam but theyre cases are very cool especially No Code. thats gotta be one of the coolest cases. it has so many differeny compartments of pictures and such. maybe even worth buying for cheap for just the case. |
||||||||
|

super furry animals are good, have yet to buy an album by them though. i was listening to that cd at the store today actually. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love all digipacks! nine inch nails's cases are always good too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pachi: thats impossible. i have the wipeout xl soundtrack cd and it got cracked. :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. they rock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Funnily enough, I bought 28 copies of that album god what was I thinking |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
looks like im talking to myself but another very cool case is the chevelle cd. i forget the cd name but you have to turn it upside down and then open backwards from what I remember. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Polygon Window - Surfing on Sine Waves very relaxing |
||||||||
|
|

Tool - Lateralus Trippy! The Crow Soundtrack don't know really...maybe just nostalgia Kashmir - Cruzential this danish album has a silver-coated digipak-cover with album info on recycled paper... Rage Against The Machine (selftitled) the picture moves me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I don't have very many "cool" cases but I know what you are talking about like with BoC "geosomething" why do bands have cool cases like that but then they also have regualr cases for the same disc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Limited edition cases. like that geogaddi book with the cd inside. stuff like that is for collectors. the regular cd cases are everywhere. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont like when the cd is in cardboard... i like to take the sleve and put it in my big cd case, in front of the cd... but i cant do that with the cardboard ones and i never keep cases... just the sleeve i got waaaaaay too many cds to keep them all. and its a hassel |

plastikman's 'sheet one' is cool...it comes in a regular jewel case..and the cover slip is made of coarse paper preforrated into little squares with little plastikman logos on the back...perhaps a reference to a sheet of acid? hmmm... i also like the special edition kid a book..with all the weird paintings rotor+'s aileron has a really nice package too...it comes in a hardbound book with a black cover whith only the artist and title written in indented gold writing...and inside the book, there is a little 'forward' by the owner of the record label, telling of how he came across rotor+, the rest of the book is filled with nice photos and some writing, quotes, poetry, graphics...the presentation of that cd really added to it...making the initial experience much more special than just opening a regular cd, add to that the two videos included on the cd...and of course the incredibly lush music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like this P-Brane ep case, even though it's just a clear case with nothing in there except for the cd... it's still cool... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really like digipacks, especially vladislav delay's cases. the designs are very sleek and minimalistic, with cool artwork as well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok let me see.... Radiohead - Amnesiac Ok Computer Such great artwork in both them, I really enjoy Radiohead albums visualy... Tool - Lateralus Bush - The Science Of Things Great pictures.. Marilyn Manson - Holy Wood |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
autechre - chiastic slide kind of simple, but i can look at it for the whole length of the album. nin - the downward spiral the artwork is excellent, i like how the colors fit together. the beatles - revolver very well drawn. |
