Both are terrible but the first is at least interesting-terrible.

I caught her on some british TV show and the presenter (can't remember who it was) showed the cd and she was like 'THAT IS NOT THE COVER'

owenf, Thursday, 8 March 2012 20:43 (fourteen years ago)

she was wearing lots of weird saggy pvc and had a horrible myspace tattoo as well

owenf, Thursday, 8 March 2012 20:44 (fourteen years ago)

that Fritz Kalkbrenner made my stomach drop when the effect started working

I've always liked the cover aesthetic for CDs released by Nonplace, and IMO the latest album by Burnt Friedman is their best yet:

Sorry about the multiple images, couldn't find any single pic where the cover was laid open.

Tuomas, Friday, 9 March 2012 08:03 (fourteen years ago)

what's that sound like? it's gorgeous.

favorite ones on this thread are monolake and wooden shjips. love the earth one, too. bought that lp tonight and the girl who checked me out was all proud on behalf of her friend, who happened to have done that particular cover!

That looks as though there are cutouts on the foreheads--is that so?

That Middle America/Netherfriends thing is pretty cool, actually.

Hah I know that Netherfriends guy. He's on a mission to record a song in every state in the USA. Really nice dude.

trimdon orange explosion (electricsound), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 07:04 (fourteen years ago)

gah, there hasn't been a "noteworthy" album cover posted since the break. burnt friedman art is kind of cool in a "looks like a detail from a mati klarwein painting" sense, but other than that...

Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Wednesday, 21 March 2012 07:09 (fourteen years ago)

fu if you don't think God's Father cover is notable

The Reverend, Thursday, 22 March 2012 00:20 (fourteen years ago)

Turns out it's a detail from the painting Harikiri Schoolgirls 2002 by Makoto Aida

Valéry Giscard d'Staind (NickB), Thursday, 22 March 2012 00:24 (fourteen years ago)

the digitally dicked with version posted above, otoh, is hideous. and i dunno, i feel like i have at this point seen enough manga-style japanese art depicting cleverly butchered schoolgirls to last me a fucking lifetime.

interesting note: first pressing of 500 sold out. 250 more currently being pressed. pressing denoted by 1st in rougher matt sleeve, 2nd in glossy sleeve…

good luck Peeta Mellark (Bee OK), Thursday, 22 March 2012 03:15 (fourteen years ago)

one of those rougher matt sleeve pressings took a beating in transit
