Melancholyman Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I was thinking more of Hicksville cd and Dub Trees, and then also other artist that not has Simon's involvement in them. Quote

Oh, in that case you should have expressed your question more specifically I've got a spare near mint copy of this: http://www.discogs.com/release/238537 Let me know if you'd be interested Quote
Charlie Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Dub Trees can picked up brand-new on Amazon for £8.50, second-hand for £5.00. Quote
Melancholyman Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Thx guys, yes Antic I am very interested but as for now I don't have any money, starting university in half a month and will take about 3 weeks before I get hold of any money. I will send you a pm instead.. Quote
el brujo Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 errm the guy is actually there they are actually that size prop knives the shadows are real not cg its an actual photograph as it is the style of storm thorgeson these are not my ideas but facts, so some previous discussion is in a way funny now for my own taste it is a very good album cover and completely different than the usual psytrance/ambient stuff like the music itself Quote

Both scissors and man cast shadows directly on the wall they're standing by, but those walls are at 90 degrees. So, if guy's shadow is a proper one (and it is, because it is a real photography), the scissors' shadow should be directed towards the middle of the scene, not on the wall. Quote
Templar Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I can't believe you people are actually discussing the shadows on the YB cover. It's like discussing on why the face on the Shpongle covers has more than one pair of eyes. Well duuuuh... we're talking about people behind psychedelic projects. Anyhow, good eye, it didn't attract my attention... Regarding the content of the new CD, after hearing YB live two times last year I can personally assure everyone that it's quality MUSIC. Most of the tracks from those gigs were new and astonishing, full of fun and ideas, very danceable too (mind you - it's more downtempo-ish). Quote

You know, since I can't analyse the music yet, the cover must do as a substitute! Quote

So, if guy's shadow is a proper one (and it is, because it is a real photography), the scissors' shadow should be directed towards the middle of the scene, not on the wall. No, look again. The shadow of the guy's almost-vertical leg is not perpendicular to the wall. His shadow is behind him wrt the direction he is walking. Therefore the angle of the sun relative to other objects is something like this: ...........| ...........| ...........| ...........| 8< (Scissors) ______| ......o-< (Man) ...........................O (Sun) The shadows are pretty much where they should be.

Malevol3nt Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Shadows or no shadows, the cover looks like crap Quote
reger Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 ...........| ...........| ...........| ...........| 8< (Scissors) ______| ......o-< (Man) ...........................O (Sun) cant see shit in your "artwork" Quote
abasio Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Top all that off with stunning artwork by the legendary Storm Thorgerson (whose work has graced albums by Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons, and Led Zeppelin, among many others), and there you have it – the outside matches the inside. With “The Last Days Of Gravity”, you have yourself another trendsetting, description-defying release from Twisted Records! Damn! Quote
Charlie Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 cant see shit in your "artwork" I don't think poor Oopie will approve what you people have done to his beautiful thread. Quote
Malevol3nt Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I don't think poor Oopie will approve what you people have done to his beautiful thread. hah I was thinking the exact same thing Quote

Ok, but in this case the shadow of the more distant scissors' leg should be directed further towards the middle of the picture. And it isn't. They fucked it up. I won't buy it. Won't pay my 15EUR for a cover with erroneously rendered shadows. Will leech this one. Quote
Rotwang Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Ok, but in this case the shadow of the more distant scissors' leg should be directed further towards the middle of the picture. And it isn't. Bear in mind that the leg is not vertical. (Sorry Oopie) Quote
abasio Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 The awfulness of this cover is the proof that Simon POSford is not god :clapping: Quote
Goa Bill Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 Abasio you are going to hell for that. And your hell will include all those girls in your avatars but without their pussy. And you will have an eternal hard on. Oh and the only creature with a pussy in your hell will be Reger. :wank: Quote

Goa Bill Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! Ah well just getting to look at them will me nice enough & if desperation seeks in there is always reger Sex with Reger.... You'll also get a nice smile after you cum Quote
Guest antic Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 You know you only encourage them to further pollute this the-most-important-of-them-all thread? Quote
