recieved amon tobin's "supermodified "(he keeps getting better) recently. of course the teeth were broken in the mail even though the package was well padded. my rant would be to labels like ninja to try to come up with alternatives to the digipak format. at least when you get a cd in a jewel case you can replace the broken parts quite easily. not so with the digi,as i have yet to determine a way to replace the plastic w/o ruining the cardboard. i realize that one of the reasons labels prefer digipak is possibly enviromental. this said,why not look to labels like montreals constellation records. their packaging is very sturdy and is all paper.no broken teeth.emanate is another label using only paper,although its packaging is a little less sturdy. even funkungfusion on ninjatune is packaged in paper only.(although the glue on mine all came apart,but that's another rant ;-) ) if it is more cost effective to use digipaks,well i guess that is the price the consumer will have to bare,albeit grudgingly. if you want top flame me ,please do it offlist,although i am certain that i am not the only one frustrated with this type of pkg. thanks, william np::acceleradeck"narcotic beats" i never tire of this disc,still sounds fresh after a couple of years.....and in a jewel case ;-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
