Worst looking CD/LP artwork

[Florestan]

I don't think I've mentioned anywhere what life was like for castrati. Hard or fun.

You recommended me to read Satoh's booklet, which with your generous help I did. My subsequent comments referred to, well, the booklet.

Ok. I believe artist's approach is a pure speculation. Art is not a science, luckily.

You're having a hard time, I can see that. Do not think I can help.

Politely, I think you could help by reconsidering this tone of voice. Thanks.

You prefer the "Grow the fuck up" tone of voice better?

No one really prefers either.  Let us get back to the cover art now.

Either or not, the admin chose to address me rather than someone giving fucks here.

Discussing cover art is exactly what I was doing here, see above.

Seen over at the "What are you listening 2 now?" thread:



No thanks.

Well they're basically invoking another Röntgen.

Ha!

[T. D.]

Well they're basically invoking another Röntgen.

I thought that cover was very witty! I may even have posted it on the "Good album covers" thread some months ago after seeing it on WAYLTL.

Well they're basically invoking another Röntgen.

"In the year 1848, when a wave of freedom movements swept through Europe, the German merchant Friedrich Conrad Röntgen settled in Apeldoorn. In exactly the same year, another Röntgen tried his luck in the opposite direction. From his native city of Deventer, Engelbert Röntgen went to the conservatory in Leipzig to continue his violin studies with Ferdinand David. Both Röntgens produced a famous son. Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, son of the Apeldoorn merchant, discovered the X-rays named after him. Engelbert's first child was Julius Röntgen."

" Wilhelm Conrad and Julius were contemporaries and distant relations: the grandfather of the physicist and the great grandfather of the composer were brothers. It is certain that they knew each other, though unfortunately there is no concrete information about this. It is a fact that Julius was hounded during his lifetime by the worldwide fame of his distant great uncle. Once, having arrived for his annual sojourn at Fuglsang in Denmark, a Danish newspaper reported: 'Yesterday professor Röntgen arrived, though not the famous one.' And when taking a boat trip down the Rhine the rumour spread that the famous discoverer of the X-rays was aboard, resulting in an entire brass band and an extra railway carriage awaiting him. Julius would also often refer to himself as 'not the famous one'. "

Ah, thank you. I did do a little bit of looking to figure out whether there was a family connection but I wasn't in a position at the time to look very hard.

[pjme]

Ah, thank you.

You're welcome. 
And it is great (strange, enlightening, weird,funny...) to see and read how differently people react.
Ok - let's see what the next awful cd /LP cover brings!

Someone's been reading Wheatley ...

[pjme]

Is this  Phillis Wheatley Peters (c. 1753 – December 5, 1784)  or is it Dennis Yeats Wheatley (8 January 1897 – 10 November 1977).....a slave writing poetry or a writer of occult novels?

Knowing Scion, I'd say the latter.

They should have re-thought the cover art too. 

[Madiel]

The cover art doesn't bother me. The cover words do.

Jimenez and his artistic team enjoy the collage technique!  Age old..., I'd say, almost a cliché. But again, is it bad design, is this ugly?  Not in my opinion.
Collage artists 
Max Ernst (cfr. my avatar), was very good at it.

I found figural elements united there that stood so far apart from each other that the absurdity of this accumulation caused a sudden intensification of my visionary facilities and brought about a hallucinating succession of contradictory images.
