Notes: Seemingly in thrall to the dark delights of the Brothers Quay, this is a tactile pleasure in its use of tracing paper, card and metal ring binding. My review of the music is here.
A gem here. Very pecular presentation, I also love the metal ring binding. Musicaly is one of the most strange cd’s I own: dark and sometimes melancholic mix of organic and electronic moods. My privilage again Colin =)
Agreed and again my pleasure. Did you see my review, I was quite proud of that one when I wrote it.
so many good details in this.
guys, Colin, Justin, you guys are blowing my mind. this is the exact type of shit i try to follow too, i am too excited to even control my fucking language. adjflj
as an aspiring designer/visual artist and a lover of physical made objects – these two sensibilities often culminating in music disc packages and books – i feel strongly that albums can very well be books or novels or whole opus’ of storytelling beyond just the songs and music themselves. i mean, yeah, you know this, obviously..
but i am so so very glad to have found you guys. i would very much like to stay in touch, on the real.
ahhh! i have to stop looking through and get sleep!
likeminds!
forgot to leave a link. it’s just something to get me back into the practice of blogging before i get the proper one up!
i also really like the stamped numbers on the last ‘page.’ (were they all numbered?)
and you have number 000222???? that is so.. magical…
