if the music fits then great, but as it is it gives me a bad feeling in its bordering clichés. its cinematic in feel no doubt, 70s and 80s. The font Avant Garde has been around since the 70s and the trick is still used to convey this period. Unfortunately it has become 'hip' overused (espeically its Alternates) combined with this new wave of instagram style photography or just simply evocative. It was also used on ABPOITC... 70s.

Geogaddi still my fave, its just so unusual and original looking.
I am not too worried about the cover because I know it will just come to represent the music to me and so I will just end up loving it like an unremarkable looking but wonderful pet.

I am still convinced this record will be firmly planted in the 70's if it is in fact a concept record based on the Deadly Harvest film. It is weird though how when I look at pictures from the early 80's, the 70's seem to be creeping up on them and infecting them with that fuzzy decaying emulsion look. The early 80's seem more like the 70's to me every day.

I do also think Instagram is starting to ruin the fun though and now everything is all over nostalgalated. I am reminded of that Onion headline "U.S. Dept. Of Retro Warns: 'We May Be Running Out Of Past'".

I love the Geogaddi cover too and especially the gatefold and all the bits that come with the limited edition CD too. I still think the cover of MHTRTC is my fav though. That cover and the record itself are just absolutely perfect to me. Sigh...

I gotta say though, that this has to be my least favourite BoC album cover. I just don't think it's as interesting as all the others. It may well just be me, but I don't really feel that it suits BoC. Hopefully it will grow on me, and may also look much more impressive in the flesh!

I'm really feeling the cover. Next to Geogaddi it's my favorite so far.

From the bleep picture of the LP you can see the inner sleeves are covered in photos too. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Agreed.

I like the album cover very much indeed and cannot wait to see the art that comes with the vinyl.

Looking at the album cover evokes some kind of feeling, I cant quite figure out but I like it. Its the same feeling ive had at certain points when playing the game Half Life 2

Dude, great list. Massive gap in my knowledge of electronic music is in the 2001 era (was fairly young at the time!). So yeah, thanks for putting that list together, I'm having a listening session right now!

Don't know if someone has already made one but, for anybody who may want it, here's a decent size wallpaper that should fit well in most resolutions ( the image is 1680 x 1050):

I think the general thought is that the pic is of San Fransisco.

I'd imagine the booklet and the art cards are definitely different things.
