DR doesn't do all the Warp releases; they've just done a few. The one that
pisses me off the most is the three volume tenth anniversary series -- classics,
influences and remixes (especially the remixes). Also: Funkstoring, Additional
Productions. Schematic's Ischemic Folks. All suffer from the same problem: the
most useful information is totally buried and nearly illegible.
They've done some brilliant design, as well (Towa Tei), and if I didn't have
a radio show where I needed to find the information fairly quickly and
accurately, this probably wouldn't peeve me as much as it does (and it is a
simple peeve, nothing more); but as a fan of design and the beauty of well
executed graphics, it's hard for me to stomach.

can you give a few ferinstances of completely illegible tDR sleeves? i
really can't think of any.
i mean, these are the guys who do the purple warp sleeves that simply
list the artist and track titles. it doesn't get much more basic than
that. i dunno. i've always thought that tDR's stuff was great in that the
design element was very cool, but you still knew what you were listening
to. i just can't recall missing a tracklisting anywhere.
perfectly willing to be corrected and/or put in my place,
alan!
