I'm looking to the cover for enjoyment. I only reason I buy the actual product is for the album art. Album art is a medium all it's own. Remember the hubbub artists brought up when cds came out? "There isn't enough room to do proper cover art!" If you think that the album art is a footnote to the artists work, I think you are cheating yourself. I like challenging/unique/weird/minimal/overly-complex artwork on my cds. What I do dislike is oversimplified cover with no liner notes or bonus writings/pictures/etc... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
