Alva Noto – Xerrox Vol.1
Previous $3million, any takers? Next Kraftwerk – Minimum Maximum
Artist: Alva Noto
Title: Xerrox Vol.1
Label: Raster Noton
Year: 2007
Designer: Uncredited, probably Olaf Bender
Type of music: Electronic/Elegiac
Notes: Minimal design of this quality is an absolute delight, from the touch sense of the rich card to the blank text on silver, the allusive iconography and the pleasure of the simple die-cut card mechanism for holding the disc. Not to mention that the music here is tremendously emotionally rich, allusive and full of pathos for our post-industrial, nomadic, but probably short-lived era.
