just fyi: they are going to in the future, according to an interview with
steve and rob from warp in the german de:bug mag. there, they state they
want to give their artists more freedom to create an all-around piece of
art and that they're also sick of tdr delaying their releases because
they're allegedly never on time with their artwork.

personally, I think tdr cover designs are still stylish, but haven't been
all that fresh lately. nothing recent I've seen from them compares to the
AI, amber, tri repetae or even the blech 1 covers. IMO, the most
consistently aesthetic and witty covers ever are still atom heart's on his
RI releases. an all-time classic, however, is the cover of rancho relaxo
all-stars on disko b. so funny it brought tears to my eyes.

cheers, tom
