Let's see... I recall one of the Autechre Peel sessions to appear to be
blank until you turn the sleeve to the correct angle so you can read the
coated print. Designed to be ignored I guess.
Also the _Lily Of The Valley_ comp. Are they *purposely* making it so
people flipping through cds in a shop will skip over it? What is the
typeface, like 6 point? Plus the tracklisting is barely legible. This
whole sleeve looks like it's an incomplete rough.

Aesthtics over functionality? This an *especially* bad idea when it comes
to a various artists compilation.
What's the point of a sleeve then? Maybe they should just wrap the disc in
holiday wrapping paper then and be done with it. Or just have a completely
blank cd, sans any print, in a clear jewel case. (I'm sure someone besides
tDR has alrady done this...)

It's not a missing tracklisting that's the problem...
