>My God, man. I cannot believe you can put a piece of work like the Blech >cover down. That is one of the single most well designed and wonderful >inlays of any CD. Learn what good layout is, for Pete's sake. :) > >It's ok.. to each his own, I suppose. > >Shane > > that's what i mean, though. i love the blechsdottir cover, layout, artwork, etc... don't have the original blech so i can't comment on that. but i love all the little blurbs on dottir. and that color pink! like bubble gum! as far as the tracklisting goes, i don't think it's all that bad. i mean, you have 70+ minutes to figure it out! =) i'll agree that chiastic slide isn't the easiest to read, but i do like the artwork. for me, the music is more important than the titles anyway. something like chiastic slide i like to listen to all at once anyway. i don't need to know which track i'm on, or what the name is. i know rettic ac is #2, cause i've used it on mixes, but other than that, i don't have much of a clue. now if they had done blech like chiastic slide (it's chiastic! boogie woogie woogie!), then we'd have some problems. i think the layout of the tracks on dottir is actually very functional. you know a)title, b)artist, c)album/ep/single title, and d)catalog number. and think about it - all the tracks run together, so why not do the same with the listing? the type is perfectly legible, just very close. got rubber johnny from bent crayon yesterday. talk about not wasting any time on packaging! or is it just more of tDR's "stunning minimal artwork"? not being too sarcastic, cause i do really like the cichlisuite artwork. with readable titles, too! i've gone on long enough. alan! np:nothing nextup:rubberjohnny:jamrolypoly ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
