I can't think of any.

What do you like in your sleeve art?

Don't turn this into a picture thread please!

― stevem (blueski), Thursday, 20 February 2003 14:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh alright make it a picture thread then. My connection has been k-slow this week.

Ack! KID A is dire.

I think Calexico have always had pretty interesting covers.

Gareth was winning but that red x design is so tired.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 20 February 2003 14:51 (twenty-three years ago)

It's got, like, stickers.

Also:

though more for the back than the front.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Thursday, 20 February 2003 14:51 (twenty-three years ago)

How do you post pictures?

Oh well, the album cover for 100th Window is pretty damn cool-looking.

― Evan (Evan), Thursday, 20 February 2003 14:53 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought we weren't supposed to turn this into a pic thread!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 20 February 2003 15:29 (twenty-three years ago)

I don't have any nominations myself, but I've got to say that Gareth's nominations are two of my least favorite recent album covers. I'm not into the garish stuff...

but i made 3 recommendations!

Trail of Dead's album cover for "Source Tags and Codes" is quite beautiful.

― Brenya, Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:32 (twenty-three years ago)

Is that their newest album, Alex?

I've got, um, the name is slipping my mind now, but it's the one that came in the metal tin with all the Masonic stuff on it. It's the tops!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Oh, and I like this one something fierce...

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY is from 2001 actually. New one ain't out yet. The one in the tin was THE PONZI SCHEME, which is from `98 or so.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

And this is a good one in the Album-Covers-What-Actually-Truly-Creep-Me-Out-Category...

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:38 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow....that is fuckin' creepy, what is that?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:38 (twenty-three years ago)

A Death Cube K album (possibly Dreamatorium...but I'm not sure...I forget album titles easily, as if you hadn't already noticed).

Death Cube K = another of Buckethead's projects.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 20 February 2003 19:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Haha...that's odd. I was tempted to start a CREEPY RECORD SLEEVE thread, and the first artist to come to mind was Death Cube K (as a Buckethead-crazed colleague of mine was always forcibly "lending" me Death Cube K albums, and I remember them having eerie covers).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 20 February 2003 20:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Andrzej: I luuurve that record, maybe my fave of last year.

― original bgm, Friday, 21 February 2003 03:09 (twenty-three years ago)

Anyone seen the cover for the new Xiu Xiu album???

― lou (lou), Friday, 21 February 2003 10:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Go to www.watmm.com to see the artwork for the forthcoming Autechre album. Very cool.

The artwork for the vinyl version of The Microphones Mount Eerie is very cool and the sleeves were sewn together by various members of the Elvrum family.

All the Lemon Jelly releases - singles and albums are impeccably designed.

Bent - Programmed to Love

The Sigur Ros sleeves are way, way too pretentious, especially the new one.

Underworld always have fine artwork, too.

Sorry there, Tom, we're bad at following rules.

Don't turn this into a picture thread please!

Especially when it involves NOT posting pictures.

― Paula G., Friday, 21 February 2003 19:51 (twenty-three years ago)

that first blechdom cover is great

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 21 February 2003 20:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Glad you agree. I was even going to post it on the sexy album covers thread but then I realized that sexy, here, means "with tits".

I haven't tried posting an image yet, so this is sort of a trial run. My knowledge of HTML has atrophied in the last three years.
