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 ;-)
