Hi there, got my CD (love it btw - on my 5th listen right now), but I’m curious as to why there’s no “Shpongle - Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland” logo on the front cover (but there was a sticker on the plastic wrap).
It just looks like this:
Rather than this:
Not complaining or anything, just curious, did you decide to remove it before final release?
I got my copy today and was also suprised not to see to logo on the front cover…. I guess as I was excpecting it as seen on the twisted web I was a bit disappointed, but the cover is still great…
but still I think it looks better WITH the logo…. it gives some kind of balance to the whole picture… the “shpongle” letters are great (with the “O” like an eye) and the title is so cool that is a shame not to have it on the cover….
Too bad but nevermind…. so far after the first listen the album sounds great…. but I will have to listen to it many times to really get inside the music….
the “shpongle” letters are great (with the “O” like an eye)
Actually I believe the etchings inside the “O” are the top part of the Om symbol…
Kind of like how the Shpongle mask has the same part of the Om symbol on the top of its head.
Regarding the lack of words on the front cover… I believe it is conveying the Ineffable! (There are no words!) (wink wink)
Before I got it (which I did today) I was afraid that it wouldn’t look as pleasing as the other albums, but I’ve now changed opinion. It looks awesome. The real question is how I could expect anything less.
