I don't think design has anything to do with music... I usually don't even
look at my CDs because I don't see a shit... it's for me like looking
in some sort of picture or sculpture, so design really doesn't bother
me at all. I don't care about it... it's all shit anyway... all those
different
kinds of colors of my CDs on my shelves look really kitchy and disturb
me... I wish they are all white, like my bedroom walls...

Price is usually higher than other labels CDRs/CDs... but I would still buy
everything Phthalo have released (except Icepick Tracks :-) ),
because since I've heard Navy Warship in the month it came out (check
out the archives for my review) and the tracks from Plug Research &
Development I was hooked up with the sound and wanted to hear more
and more...

... if there wasn't idm, allen (pr), and lynn hasty (green galactic) I
wouldn't even hear for phthalo.... thanks...
