Touch the sound.
There are many arguments, pro and con, about music downloads these days. Sound quality and legal arguments aside, the reason I prefer to own hard copies of music (be it vinyl or CD) is for the tactile experience. There’s something special about picking up a well-designed package and appreciating it as much as the music playing through your stereo or headphones. That sensory pleasure is something that just doesn’t translate with the click of a “download” button—even if there is digital booklet available. Ink on paper, people! Nothing like it.
I also like the idea that an artist has thought just as much about the visual as the aural storytelling.
Here are a few great packages that come to mind:
Role Models Push film KISS: Double Platinum
Sigur Ros: ( ) El Dorado dvdrip
Radiohead: Amnesiac
The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour
Made in Britain trailer download Remember the Titans movie
Zwan: Mary Star of the Sea
Nick Cave: The Lyre of Orpheus Convoy ipod
