the artwork for lost horizons by lemon jelly is quite special |
||||||||

Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits. They just look so cheerful and scraggily. And what the hell is that metallic thing that Paul is holding onto? |

Tool - Lateralus, if the transparent layered artwork counts as cover! : ) if not.. one of my favourites would be by OOIOO (happy colourful psychedelic joy!!!).... another one by Aube & Die Form..... by A Perfect Circle..... by Merzbow (original is silver, not white, or so i've read -i've never actually seen it in the physical world of reality).... &lotsofothers; |

bola's fyuti picture disc is a nice one in the electronic music category. shit a lot of albums are springing to mind. |
||||||||
|

|
Zip Zap Rap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
... Tricky - Tortoise - Coil - Naked City - Cocteau Twins - Nurse With Wound - The Young Gods - Second Nature [transparent too, so i can't show it pictures wouldn't do it justice] John Zorn - I.A.O. Radiohead artwork in general etc ... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh yes, Fyuti (and re-Soup) are awesome. i should have included them in my list too. |
||||||||
|

drukqs, by far. i can stare at it for ever....(the poster cover that is) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

joy division album covers are nice. i quite like old yes covers. æ's amber and chicli suite ep7 , in fact most of them.... freeform's wildcat and human are nice and different.meam. boom bip's from left to right i like. these are just the first that come to mind, not even regarding packaging. |

I've been a fan of the insides of pianos for ages so clearly Drukqs is a good choice. Sgt Peppers is an obvious classic. I also like The Private Press a lot. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Hmmmm.... When I was a kid I would have to pick Iron Maiden's "Caught Somewhere in Time "maybe. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but seriously, you shouldnt judge a book by its cover, the same applies to album covers, i tend to not even look at the cover much until i have thoroughly listened to the music contained inside, and by that time i will probably like it so much that i would even care if it had a shitty cover |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would have to agree with most of uzim's fav album covers because many of them are my fav too. Other favs of mine are also: moby - moby yasunori mitsuda and the millenial fair - creid portishead - dummy bladrunner (original painting for soundtrack) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes I agree. The cover has about as much relevance to the music as the glass frame that holds a painting. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe it's not relevant to the music itself, but it sure is to the whole experience of an album. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some of mine: these are some i haven't mentioned in the old thread |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a cover certainly doesn't have to be significant, but it certainly adds to the experience if it is... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, a good (or at least acceptable) cover art is important for me. a CD is not *just* music to me, cover art is a part of it.... (besides, you pay for it) the last day i came to the fnac (record, book, video game etc. chain store) and saw "Bleed Your Cedar" by Elysian Fields, i really wanted to buy it because i have and love "Queen Of The Meadow" by the same band, but i bought some other CDs instead because of the cover art... well, if no one buys it within next week i probably will buy it anyway, but still. : | |

i always liked the cover of 'homogenic' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

My favorite is an obscure art-pop album from an underground British group, it's called Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Look it up on google image search. I also love covers that depict everyday things, with realistic colors. Abbey Road, shit like that. And Fairport Convention- Unhalfbricking. |

Jandek covers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm really going to have to give Jandek a listen one of these days... i know i frighteningly large number of people who have heard nearly every album he's ever made... and everytime i turn around... i find out about someone else who is a jandek fan... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've always really liked PJ Harvey's album and singles covers. but it's hard to chose which is my favorite. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how does jandek sound ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
surfer rosa, ok computer, rdj album, vespertine, music has the right to children. also, i bought the japanese lost in translation soundtrack and thats got some nice cover work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i really dislike that one for some reason, i would have loved that album to be plain white. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
godspeed you black emperor - f#a#infinity i absolutely love this album cover. it fits the mood of the album perfectly. |
||||||||

mashnote > judging from the little i've heard.... sounds like an insane man plinking a guitar and singing, all alone, sounding out of tune, desperate without the normal song structure". very weird. and scary. you know those kind of dreams that are like reality but distorted in a fucked up and unsettling way? well, if my impressions confirm jandek would be to "normal" music with guitars and singing what this kind of dream is to reality. sounds wrong but somehow attractive in a very weird way. scary. http://www.providencephoenix.com/archive/music/99/09/30/JAN DEK.html |

wozencroft's work for albums on touch is nice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? i only heard about him.... two or three or four days ago i think.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah! :) |

|
|
what cover is that?... pretty much all Wozencroft covers rule.... unfortunately i couldn't find a decent picture of the Mika Vainion one i mentioned earlier, but i think that one's my favourite |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all sorts of people on IHM for starters... that was how i first heard of him... but these days i keep finding people on slsk who have a folder with like every Jandek album ever made inside... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
live at revolver, melbourne. there are some nice full shots but you'll have to take screen shots in order to save a picture. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i discovered Jandek thanks to IHM. (and i discovered IHM thanks to Antoine, who frequents another board with dariusgriffin, board i discovered thanks to dariusgriffin o_O) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ha, yeah, i found that so funny, that the day after i found out what your slsk name was, Antoine mentioned that he had been talking with you and you had mentioned me... this planet is truly quite small... Antoine is a really cool guy, says me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jandek is just plain disturbing. And Antoine is one of the best persons ever, yes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
'Jumping Rabbit' by Mori Chieko has one of the best covers ever. i so want to hear that. |
