Thanks for the reply, This Is Not Here. I was just curious to find out how deep the coincidence went. (umm...I love John & Yoko as well (another aside))
Ah...Bridget Riley...paintings to give yourself a headache to...or epileptic seizure...my jury is still out. I see it more as artistic craft than fine art, the truth be revealed. At any rate, at least Op Art beats the hell out of that computer-generated holographic "art."
For the SYR series though, I like how they've gone with the whole distinctive design and op art theme...looks cool.
In music, Harsh Noise sorta finds it's visual counterpart in Op Art if you think about it. And although the SYR series is not "harsh" noise, it's still has it's differences from the largely songwriting-based Sonic Youth recordings. Perhaps all this has something to do with the design choices of the SYR series. (And, of course, also around the time they first appeared, there was a large amount of interest in marketing cds with less packaging).
