This record is a pre-release to the ‘Angel Milk’ album but in my opinion the artwork in this record is much more beautiful, less gimmicky and gives a better impression of the music that the record contains. It is a simple concept on the cover but it is a favourite of mine because of the fresh and almost organised way that the mysterious setting gives the surrounding nature. Although the record is only a sampler and was never widely distributed, I think in design terms it is a beautiful testament to similar works in this category of both music and music related design.
Subtleties within the photograph such as the relatively old-tech audio equipment are real complements to the sound of the band. As is the whole woodland aesthetic that became Telepopmusik’s trademark in the time surrounding the release and longevity of this album.
