I think we should put all the backers' names on the cover in some fashion.

 

Here's raw sketch (to do some text or a symbol constructed by names, better be readable, edit: names)

 

wow............. nice

That's great, love it. Maybe as some sort of backcover? Or digital inlay?

My new favourite!

I'll have a bash later... I really like the idea of Rich picking his favourite for the "official" one!

It's too much like SAW 85-92 for me

this one feels appropriate:

(didnt make it, found it somewhere)

and this is an alternate back. the lines would be made up of the names of contributors

I knew you'd deliver. Man, those lines are so hypnotic

cool jules but tbh not really the feels i get when listening to any afx stuff, nicely done however! & the direction might be better though, simple vector-images and/or duotone photos was kind of the early-rephlex aesthetic.

...and thanks yall for the response

heres a non-kkk version, tried to content aware remove but ehh odd thing:

anyways ill edit/finish it up if there gets to be votes or something (this gets serious..?)

ok no further questions JEEZSH

wowee that's nice

edit: but yeah as vincent said above something vectory would be great. perhaps even something really simple like the AB3 CD sticker? damnit, I wish I had access to indesign right now

That's a really cool approach, and very different than the obvious route (playing card images, etc.)

why put the aphex twin logo on a caustic window album?

 

not the same project really is it? what say ye Joyrex?

Richard has put the Aphex Twin logo on a lot of non "Aphex Twin" aliased works - AFX (ABB3 and 4 have it), Analord, Caustic Window Comp, etc. Personally I don't think it belongs on a non-Aphex Twin release, but that's just me.

I like the look but agree that I don't think it's makes sense for Caustic Window. It looks like a New Order album or something

Someone merge the WATMM & Aphex logos, we need a note on the back that says "A joint release from We Are The Music Makers & Rephlex Records"

rotmm. heh.

wephlex (standing for us here and rephlex) if i'm not being dark, but rather more hippy.

personally I think if there is fan art that will accompany this, it should just be a simple list of names or just a shot of Richard's handwritten label.

also, fuck me velazquez is reading this thread. fucking velazquez!

yeh jules is my fave so far....

It's a Rephlex release though.

yeah, i was going to post this actually

I'll be listening to a copy of the record

take a nice high-res photo of the record/handwritten label

that's an honest representation of the content

not that there aren't some nifty designs here, but just give me reality, you know

edit: I don't really like the names idea. don't need to congratulate ourselves. just listen to the fucking music, jeez

edit 2: of course i already recognize that I am a heartless utilitarian in all things
