I have a Factory Records "Return Of the Durutti Column" Tape release that
came in a special box (typical factory arty-ness) that had 100grit
sandpaper for the cover. I think it was meant to be a contrast to the
extremely calm/ambient music inside. Must have wrecked havoc on other
tapes when in shipment. Zoviet France has used similar textures on some
records I have: tar roofing tiles, burlap, sheet metal, etc.
RHK is not being very inventive in the context of arty-music-history, but
he probably seems that way in the less-experimental idm/dj'ing circles...
IMHO that is.
