i have some ripped CDs and some originals the original CDs i have; only include art work with no information about anything what so ever are all of them like this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Doesn't sound right to me... |
||||||||
|

all i have are like this too... most idm cds don't have real booklets. |
||||||||
|

I think the only Autechre CD that has anything resembling something to read is the Anti EP on the sticker that seals it closed (when new). All the others have artwork in that now-predictable abstract/minimal/angular style. |

Peel session 2 was at the store and i passed it 100 times cause it was plain white and the writing was so small and faint! |

Mostly the artwork is quite abstract, and somewhere you can read something like Booth/brown productions and the year and that it ir released on Warp records. That's just about it. |

There's a couple of lines here and there that are just about readable, but to say they're interesting or informative would be an overstatement. The most interesting thing written on the Basscadet EP is the text in the run-out on the 10"ers in the box. |

well, there's still the Gescom manifest-thingy at www.skam.co.uk, which ofcourse is complete bullshit. :) |

i don't buy cd's for the booklets anyway |

funny, cuz that's my #1 gripe about idm cds. how hard is it to give a little info, or have some cool artwork. I'm not asking for radiohead, but sometimes no material at all takes the piss. Why don't I just d/l this shit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
.....well i buy AE CDs cause i dont trust the quality of the downloaded material. sometimes the songs are merged together or like in draft, there is like 15 sec of silence in the begining and ending of the CD i like to respect the artist's presented work...and i am taking about a few artists that i would buy: radiohead bjork AE some aphex twin |

also, most of ae's stuff translates REALLY badly to mp3, more so than other artists music. |
||||||||

MP3/AE works fine if you encode at a high enough level... I've been using LAME --alt preset extreme to do 320kbs VBR MP3s and even with A, they come out fine... Wouldn't dream of doing em at anything less than 256 though.....A 128Kbs AE MP3 might as well be a remix..;)... |
||||||||

|
|
BTW... I really love minimal design so AEs/TDR artwork is right up my street...And their design has got better & better over time, I think.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i liked the are in draft 7.30 you can change the cover as you like |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Agreed... I think we'll see more of the same from AE on that front - Alex Rutterfords design style is pretty refreshing after all these years of TDR... Much as I love TDR, probably to a unhealthy extent, they do sometime moves into self-parody - Difficult not to, I guess, when you look at their huge body of work over the last decade or so... (hehe...my other-half has got used to me pointing TDR or TDR influenced design when we go out anywhere....)... |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i am thinking about copying the art of draft's cover to my huge wall i might copy it and project it as big as my wall |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
..then trace it and paint it... too long and complicated....4th of july event! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
v. cool....you'll have to take a pic of that when it's done.... I noticed the other day that CR are selling the Gantz Graf/Alex Rutterford poster again....for a fiver I think....I'll see if I can find out the full details & post em here, as it's a sublime poster (a fully rendered still from GG...)... (*jand stares lovingly at his wall - Alex R & PS3:PRAYSTATION.COM posters look so cool next to each other..).. |
