I'm torn on the subject of oblique packaging. When Franciso Lopez/ Haino do it, I admire the artwork as ultraminimalist expressions common to the music. I really like that label that put out the Sachiko M/ Toshimaru Nakamura duo (amongst others) where the packaging is pure white. A lot of the time, however, it does my nut when it's some cdr from nowhere. I often wonder why they do it. With Haino particularly I have a section in the record collection devoted to him. It's easy to find his stuff. With a cdr without information I have to actually look at the sleeve and decide to listen to it. Which mean, given that I usually choose my listening by spine, I rarely bother to listen.
Anyone else have any opinions, or even care in the slightest?
