how beautiful is the artwork to drone albums?

I'm not an ambient guy, but I'm skimming through the DARK/DRONE/METAL section on Boomkat.

its all so evocative. I bet I could enjoy listening to alot of it based simply on relating the music to the artwork.

yes, that's 90% of how people choose what drone they listen to. No joke.

go to mimaroglumusicsales.com , often goes in depth on the packaging because it's the most appealing aspect.

You'd think a thread titled "how beautiful is the artwork to drone albums?" would have some examples of said artwork.

You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.

I was thinking more about the more recent Cassette tape scene.

Where it's all about the handcrafted limited edition cassette worship shit going around. People just see a picture of the "beautiful cassette" see it's 7$ and buy it.

i don't see what's wrong with that, really. someone likes the idea so they buy it, and the person who made it makes some money, isn't everyone a winner in this situation?

started looming through boomlet recently, trying to find things of interest... didn't take me long to discover that in all the time I'd been

out of he loop, a whole genre or two

seemed to be made out of :

- mournful landscape photography.

- drifting emptiness

- clicking, hissing, popping vinyl sounds.

wait, gas and biosphere are drone?

close enough

I guess Biosphere isn't necessarily drone, but he hasn't been strictly ambient since Substrata either. I do think Gas definitely qualifies as drone though.

their whole discography
