Sorry for not agreeing with your nostalgic take on album covers, i just believe in evolution ;-) check out MGMT's interesting website at www.whoismgmt.com album art may be dying, but band web design (and lets not forget the music video!) has never been more intense!

That has got to be one of the worst websites I have ever seen (can someone say MySpace?? MGMT is a great band though. Matt - Are you high?

The Raconteurs (for example) designed with the album/record art in mind, and then 'transfered' the idea to the smaller cd design area. Groups are realizing that it's 'art-able' and you can pack more group 'presence' for the fan (room for posters, extended info, etc.). <a href="http://users.rio.com/bamm/illustrationISM/port.html" rel="nofollow">mark jaquette</a> @ <a href="http://users.rio.com/bamm/illustrationISM/index.html" rel="nofollow">illustrationism</a> & bammgraphics NO WAY!!

Nine inch nails is one of those. There new albums have photo files attached with the mp3s. Not only that but Year Zero is as amazng as Andy's works. The back has a label with a fake bureau of mortallity. With an actual phone number that says you will promptly be arrested. Not only that but opening the cd case you see a hand holding a bible and opposite a hand with a sub machine gun. The disk is heat sensored so if heated it leaves a binary code that when decoded leads you to a website. It is efforts like these that really add to the music.
