South - With the Tides

Placebo - Sleeping with Ghosts

Bjork - Vespertine

Bjork - Medula

Bright Eyes - One jug of Wine, Two Vessels

(unknown- posted by Runner a few weeks ago)

set fire to flames

sonic youth

(amazon, fatcat.co.uk, images.libri.de, currituck's official website)

starting off with the obvious (cottageviews.com)
in fact most stuff designed by Storm Thorgeson

Godspeed You Black Emperor! (Amazon) for the whole cd sleeve design

A thousand times I thought to start this thread, but was never decisive enough to pick something to open with. Thanks, fairy.
forever judging albums by their covers... already have my debut's chosen.
a few:

(sonic youth; my bloody valentine; vashti bunyan & animal collective; the mars volta; cerberus shoal; colleen)
amazon.com

oh yeah, i generally like covers to suggest a warped childhood was had by one and all.

 

[MulletProof]

^beautiful picks!
i didnt know you liked cerberus shoal!.
well...you dont dedicate us enough time to know what you like these days.

 

[strawberry daiquiri]

words hurt, M. I spend more time here than asleep... interpret that as you see fit
and i didn't know you did. go start them a thread.

you should start it, I'm not a big fan, and not for any particularly bitter reason other than laziness to download more.

My memory isn't functioning as it should at these hours, but this thread sure worked up a great need for music. I haven't been very loyal to my once favorite groups/artists/albums/songs. Schade.

I like cut 'n' paste cover art.



And stitching, printing, pasting, fuse beads

It's an unaccomplishable task, rounding up all those I admire. But I know a few I'd never leave from any list of favorites:
​

dustygroove.com, connollyco.com

amazon.com

rateyourmusic.com

cdquest.com

eil.com

I'm boring/I often favor portraits of the artist(s) - the more captivating, the better And I do have a special fondness for the Cocteau Twins' covers.
