    My earliest memory of album art was Queen's "News of the World" from my father's collection. The robot always freaked me out but I remember playing this and inspecting the album cover. It's a shame that this experience will not happen in the future.

    I believe that now with avatars, social media thumbnails, itunes covers, live broadcast graphics like Miguex is describing and the overall artist/album/song graphic production is an interesting evolution of the medium. I've always been loyal to listening to albums from start to finish but the majority doesn't and branding singles and an artist is fascinating in a digital world.


    • I see what you are saying, it will be a different experience that's all. Little kids these days learn how to use ipad/ iphone incredibly fastMiguex
    • I'm sure they will get to experience a similar feeling that will also stay with them for a whileMiguex
    • exactly - as long as artists release apps (like Bjork) to support an album, we're goodwhatthefunk
