...double treat pt. 2...

i imagined this to be an ep series, and that they probably played really long electronica/prog songs...and yes, they are titled as an hommage to a certain norwegian prog trio that recently became a duo but are apparently a trio again...

...double treat pt. 1...

i dont' really know what these guys play, though it might include several guitars...

...dadadum...

at the time I was thinking punk, but maybe it would work with one of these new wave punk-poppers...?

...broken words...

definetely something industrial...

...psychonauts...

some sort of experimental jazz/techno/ambient thing I think...

...first one out...

I envisioned these guys to be real hairy and play dirty country rock...

...scraping the barrel...

I used to work in a music store, an expereince which made hornby's 'high fidelity' feel like a fictional deja-vu. Trying to keep on top of new cd releases, as well as gaining sufficient background knowledge, became a full time job. Too bad I also had to waste so much time to attending to customers whose idea of jazz was kenny g...Anyways, once I month I had to do what I called an 'update' session...well, it really was just me listening to new music...but how do you pick new cds that you haven't heard of ? You don't know what you're after so how do you know what you're looking for...What I did was pick stuff on the cover. I'd go through all the cds in whatever was my favorite genre at that time and pick out 10-15 cds with what I thought was striking covers. about 75% of the time the music was equally striking...I therefore adapted quite an affinity for the cover artform. Naturally, when I was learning myself photoshop, a process which I found worked better through doing than reading, I made covers for imaginary bands. I came up with a name and a genre, and made a cover...these covers I will now show to you...enjoy!

ps. if you do have a real band and want a cover, let me know...
