I'll field this question...  As a designer, there are certain clichés
you must not tread upon.  One would be the expected orange vinyl and
an orange diskette as mention in the quoted message.  Though a clever
idea, I would imagine you would have to do something interesting with
it.  Here are some other clichés that a designer must not apply to a
cover layout:  
Bass speakers, a picture of the band / group / or artists involved
(with the exception of Mr. Aphex), the ever popular technics 1200 mkII
turntable, the TB-303 (seen quite often in some form or another on
those DJ mix CDs)... Anyway, I'm sure you and everyone else has the
idea by now.  But I'm sure Gonzi has a more simple anser to the
question.
