Chain Reaction
Previous Kraftwerk – Pocket Calculator Next Various – Skam Cats
Artist: Various
Album: Various
Label: Chain Reaction
Year: 1996, 1997
Designer: Unidentified
Type of music: Minimal techno
Notes: As somebody once described it: “packaging heaven”. This, despite several reports that expansion of the metal in hot weather has resulted in broken CDs. I’d definitely agree that it’s utilitarian design heaven, rivaled only by The Designer’s Republic’s sleeve for Autechre’s LP5 (upcoming). These metal cases perfectly reflect the concrete minimalism of Berlin’s Hard Wax store. Maurizio is technically not on the Chain Reaction label, I know. The card digipaks of the later Chain Reaction albums are okay, but they just don’t compare to the metal cases.
Note my copy of the marvellous Decay Product by Various Artists (aka Thorsten Profrock aka T++) – fifth image down – is bent out of shape and the … compiled – sixth image down – is showing a spot of rust. Excellent.

I love packages like this, because as good as a brand new digipack looks, as it gets wear and tear, the aesthetic fades – but when you have something like these tin cases, they only manage to become more and more visually appealing as time goes on.
Unfortunately when this site was deleted from the server it used to sit on we lost all the comments. Much as I love these tins, quite a few people wrote to say that they were infamous for cracking the CD due to expansion in heated rooms.
I own quite a few of these. While the packaging is cool, you must must admit that the typography is terrible.
Hm, somehow I think typography is beside the point given the utilitarian approach, in fact what is there contributes to the surely deliberate semi-anonymity of the CR project. At least that’s my take on it.
A nice idea, but the packages did eventually destroy my discs.
Particularly dangerous for computer listening/ripping, because at 52x speed, a small stress fracture can result in an exploding CD and a ruined optical drive.
it is weird to see these all fresh and new, mine have all rusted and look a lot more like what the music sounds like than these!
Sounds great rg! though there’s a bit of rust appeared on mine and the Various Artists/Decay Product is all bent out of shape.
Thanks for ones marvelous posting! I seriously enjoyed reading it,
you could be a great author. I will be sure to bookmark your blog and will often come back later in life.
I want to encourage yourself to continue your great writing, have a nice weekend!

headline? I am not suggesting your content is not good., but what if you added something
to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean Hardformat » Chain Reaction is kinda plain. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news titles
to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers excited about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
Howdy! Quick question that’s completely off topic.
