Might as well switch to death metal if you select music based on album covers. And if you really give a damn about how people in the "group" look, I can point you to a Britney Spears CD. with much fun :-) R.P.

ewww. it was all fine for the death metal bit, but britney spears is just fucking gross. i reckon your comment is meant as a joke, but i fail to see your point. electronic music is like, quite easy to spot by the cover. & as for "looks" (& by that i mean planned looks, not just whatever the person looks like in real life), they're usually marketing tools for mtv-fed genx kids who wonder what next orifice to get pierced so it's only healthy to be weary of them. i mean, hell, autechre look like 2 regular ex-grungers. amon tobin looks like a regular computer geek. he could be your co-worker or your roommate. now that's a look to trust. -- david turgeon at http://www.notype.com
