tbh, though, "Huh?" is kind of how I feel about Spiritualized anyway.

Am I the only one who at first thought the Spiritiualized pic was some kind of a "no hotlinking" image?

Pretty cool, though I think that particular way of typing the artist and album name has been done to death in electronic music.

Yeah, that whole cover could be something straight out of the Touch Music catalogue

Yum. Can't wait for breakfast.
Looking forward to the Chris / Cosey / Void record. I hope it is as trippy as the cover.

Could that Batida band possibly sound as cool as that cover looks? I'm probably going to be disappointed, right? What's his / her / their deal?
Love the Dntel cover (and I'm not a Dntel fan by any stretch of the imagination)

I think they only pressed 500 that way (one of which I'm fortunate enough to own).

I didn't know it was limited until AFTER I'd posted/bought a copy. Only learned it when someone mentioned the pre-order was sold out.

if you like energetic tropical dance music:
Soundway are set to release the debut album from Batida, the brainchild of Angolan / Portuguese DJ Mpula aka Pedro Coquenão. A distinctly modern and vibrant project with its feet firmly rooted in the past, Batida combine samples from old 1970s Angolan tracks with modern electronic dance music. Music is the starting point but through dance, graphics, photography, radio and video, Batida expands, taking in politics and social commentary but always bringing it back to the party.Being the first of a string of brand new projects, this eponymous first album sees Soundway taking a slightly different direction in 2012 and beyond. Championed mostly for their work in un-earthing and re-releasing classic, rare and vintage tropical recordings, Soundway have started signing new acts that have drawn on and been inspired by the kind of music found on the label’s groundbreaking compilations and re-issues.What originally started out as a radio show designed to promote new African music has slowly evolved into a collaborative project crossing continents.Whereas nearly all of kuduro (Angolan electronic music) has no obvious references to its country’s musical heritage, it is deeply engrained in Batida’s music. Sampling tracks from 1970s Angola, Batida is a reinterpretation of Angola’s musical past, bringing it firmly into the modern day.Batida’s high energy live show features dancers, live samples, percussionists, MCs alongside visuals and images (both archive and new) of Angolan streets, war and fragments of tribal life.

I hate that ugly overused font, but cool photo/wardrobe idea.

would look much better without the font. Looks like a watermarked image as is.

Also the font is ugly.
i have a weakness for tracklists on front covers

It's almost ubiquitous in low-budget cover art design at this point. Ick.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 7 March 2012 22:28 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, i'm not defending the font itself, just what it's used for.
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Wednesday, 7 March 2012 22:29 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I do like large swaths of text in some situations, and if she'd chosen a different font I might have liked it here too.
