Placeholder Contributions Welcome! If you'd like to participate in the *ahem* rapidly growing field of LP-sleeve Analysis, just click here to email your post. The format of contributions is pretty much self-evident from the posts below. Tip: It pays to take your time and contemplate your chosen sleeve for a while - try and resist the urge to just 'burst into print' as it were - it's better to let it ferment (or should that be fester ;) for a while, then fine-tune your submission until it 'reads' just right!
Brian Eno - Music For Airports (tracks are untitled, only numbered)
I spy with my little eye somewhere beginning with T
nameless sound-tracks trickle downhill into a void
Synthesizer Programming Project #1 VAR PRINT(JPG) sleeve; wallpaper_design; abstracted_landscape; VAR PLAY(MP3) ambient; musical_wallpaper; soundscape; VAR INCOME($$$) album; IF ambient = musical_wallpaper THEN sleeve = wallpaper_design IF ambient(TRUE) THEN album = (abstracted_landscape + soundscape) #MSG ERROR TYPE MISMATCH:value assigned 'album' not type INCOME($$$)
Bugger!!!
Brian Eno - Music For Films
OK then, next release. Remember minimalism, simplicity ...
Synthesizer Programming Project #2 IF ambient(TRUE) THEN sleeve(FALSE) #MSG COMPILE OK
Yes!!! I spy with my little eye something beginning with tea ...
This blog takes a light-hearted look at album sleeves. Some sleeves reveal far more about an artist than their music ever does - and yet, they don't even realise - THEY DON'T EVEN REALISE! Other sleeves turn out to have unexpected, or even startling, messages embedded within their artwork.
But aside from some light relief, this blog illustrates that images often contain subliminal messages that even the creator is oblivious to, and that insights can arise through the application of intuition combined with lateral thinking.
So, next time you receive a birthday or Christmas card, try meditating upon the image for a while ... you may well discover that the message it conveys speaks far more about the sender's true perceptions of you than any amount of platitudes within!
