Curve Liner Notes

[Teachguy]

Im surprised I havent read anything on this yet.

I am always excited to see the album art and try to interpret the art direction because it is always so creative and elaborate. I was surprised to see Curve's all white, no photos liner notes. Not only that but there are spelling mistakes, and incorrect lyrics.

Any thoughts?

Haven't seen the Curve liner notes, but I will say I love good art direction for an album. Spiritual Machines feels like it could be its own damn art installation somewhere, if it were big enough. Always like Happiness too.

Haha, I've only skimmed it but there are many incorrect lyrics.

I felt the intention was to hi-light the bare rough feel of this album. The contrast in colour could be the contrast in this album to the rest of OLP's body of work. My wife also pointed out the only thank you was to George Chuvalo which is unusual to just have one, somewhat professional thank you in contrast to the rest of the book.

Spiritual Machines album art was beautiful, I was very close to getting a tattoo back in the day of the chair man, and I don't have any tattoos.

There's something to be said for extremely minimal liner notes, artwork, etc. that accompanies an album. Many a time I've heard an album over and over before purchasing only to find the artwork doesn't match up at all with my visual interpretations of the songs, album, etc. Meanwhile, seeing the artwork prior has had a huge influence on how the songs and album feel to me, which may be good but may not be, too.

In other words, leaving it so barebones kind of helps the songs be more "yours" in a lot of cases. That's me, though.

hey wtf - no spelling errors!... just a flying "w" and a couple "you're" instead of "your"

The booklet is simple and stark - just lyrics on white, its a contrast between the darker imagery of the package, the pureness inside if you will.

as for thankyous, not really anyone else to thank who isn't already listed aside from George - he became a big part of this record and that's why he gets a big thank you

I love the flying W!!!

It reminds us all that the world is not perfect. :-D

Also no "like rabbits we run" lyric in the book. Funny since the title comes from that.

I think all of OLP's albums have missing lines in the liner notes, and most have spelling/grammatical errors.

consider it a unique quality

I think all of OLP's albums have missing lines in the liner notes, and most have spelling/grammatical errors.

There's an entire song missing from the liner notes of Burn Burn.... I think it's The End is Where We Begin
