Jega - Variance

oh yeah you are right... oops. I thought it said something about it being on variance though. On the leak version that I have it is just called "theme"

aaand now it's different

sheeeit, i just grabbed that img link from the planet mu site, it had one of those "?size=350x350" things tacked onto it and the board complained about dynamic links so i cut the parameter off and...BAM full res cover...damn.

i wonder if this can be done with other cover pic links on the site...*wanders off*

I did the same thing, then I realized it would be a bitch and edited my post. Oh yeah, also notice there are TWO different covers.

yeah, i figure the second one is for the inside or back, or maybe because it's a 2 cd, it's one of those gate-fold things and it goes on the "inner cover"

ooooh

So at what point do people actually wake up and say-- ummm, for all the hype Jega himself promoted for years (remember when he publicly declared that his new music would make Squarepusher sound like shit), this is total FAIL.

I would like to read that about Squarepusher

by the samples of the new Jega album actually they sound a LOT better than the last Squarepusher album, maybe he had a vision of the future

Okay that's fairly fresh but the SEGA font is outrageously ugly. Plus why make a lame SEGA pun on the cover of what seems to be an otherwise "serious album"? One man's opinion ...

If I was to compare I would say this sounds a bit like Kettel but not really like Clark.

The constant changes of the cover on the Planet Mu site are a strange thing.

And I must say I don't really like the SEGA font that much either. I assume its trying

to acheive a 90s electronics kind of asthetic along with the rough polygonal look of

the rendering. The rendering would work by itself though and it would all look better

with a nice clean font for both artist and title. imho.

I'm really curious to hear the 2nd part

TOO MUCH THINKING NOT ENOUGH LISTENING!

I prefered the version without dblue glitch all over it. Sorry :(

jehhhhhhgaaaaaaaaaa

ahhhh, new mp3s, but still no vol 2, which I am most anxious about.

The samples of part.1 are just okay.

agreed, they sound underwhelming and rushed on jega's part, especially some of the new samples. I think he should have just gone with an expanded on version of the old variance.

i see what you did there

the Sega font is fine. nothing wrong w/ that. that last cover is the best i've seen so far. maybe it'll be one of those chose your own album cover things al la Beck Sea Change or something.

FUCK THE HATERS? I LOVE JEGA jega jega jega jega jega jega jega.

Alright?

or perhaps made some new tracks and called it a new lp?

love that final cover... the hair and sheet are beautiful. i like the sega font acutally. some interesting references stylistically to things that are kinda "post-jega"... little bit of boc, some clark, a dubstep pause or two... interesting. a little CLEAN for my tastes... but i think this might be a pretty special album.

although, im not one of these people who had the boot, so... i dont know how it compares

maybe the cover's gonna keep varying :angry:

tho i must say coming from an amateur 3d artist, i really like the latest one.

Maybe

Seems to me like we've just been getting to see the cover artwork going through developmental stages until it was finished now.
