Oh what, oh what do you line your albums with?
posting question! =)
there several:
- demon days gorillaz. cool art. colorful , inspired. disappointed plastic beach liner notes minimal. gorillaz liner notes should memorable since "band" has such visual component.
- kid radiohead. art (by band favorite stanley donwood) evocative , reflects album's sound. apocalyptic, melancholy, sinister--with challenging, experimental edge. cover of kid in fact inspired photograph war in kosovo in winter 1999.
- ladies , gentlemen floating in space spiritualized. love how presents album medication: uses, side effects, etc. , love how minimal is. clean lines, white. true of spiritualized in general: http://www.spiritualized.com/admissions/
- hardcore pulp. again, art reflects album perfection. love blend of period nostalgia , sexual, sinister undercurrent. if z-grade porno being filmed on sets love lucy. deluxe edition includes more photographs , notes jarvis. memorable excerpt: "some people buy mellotron , write ok computer, bought 1 , wrote this." he's referring "can have balls back, please?" demo.
- bracket libertines. wild storm of guitar chords, lyrics, debauched photographs, , other quirky points of interest. if person had turned recording studio upside down , every last dionysian detail pored onto page. example, there's childish sketch of 4 bodies hanging tree--with photos of band members' heads pasted on.
name 5 albums include favorite liner notes/art.
