the warp cd version of EP7 by autechre is high class in my HO
also the lp of chiastic slide was very imaginitive at the time, especially
the printing on the inside of the sleeve. sneaky!
other artwork that comes immediately to mind (and i hate to seem like such
a DR fanboy, but what the hell, they rule) Funkstorung's Additional
Productions, Music is a Rotted One Note by Squarepusher, Niun Niggung by
Mouse on Mars (Thrill Jockey version ... the Sonig one is great but I like
the TJ artwork better)
the studio that did Niun Niggung's artwork (www.icon-design.de) also did
the last two Oval releases. i think their technique of mapping
low-resolution bitmap textures onto high-resolution 3-d models reflects
the techniques used in modern electronic music.
hmm, also the Mauver 12" by Bola, and the Push Button Objects 12" on Skam
with the wicked bad graffiti art on it
