So my pic was denied. So it's someone elses turn to produce something.

Image


Criteria for pics:

"Unfortunately, I just don't get the image and how it connects to the theme 'revolution'.

I see a guy smoking with an MPC60 placed in the background.

Im looking for some sort of 'before and after' type image, something which shows the different ways of using the MPC (records/ synths).

Whatever it is, it must reflect the theme and be 'MPC centric'.

Thanks for your effort, feel free to send in any other ideas.

I wasn't feeling the dude smoking with the MPC60 in the background, bears no relation to the project theme.

But some of you guys seem to like the design, so I wont write it off completely unless something better turns up.

Really? IMO, the dude represents a revolutionary. he aint flossin, not madd jewelry, just some class dude smokin a cig thinkin of arrangements to do on the 60. Makes perfect sense to me. Because the average guy makin music for the average listener is the type of revolution that this day needs.

I accept that you don't feel it :lol:


I was just thinking that everything doesn't have to be blatant.....you see this and say how does this rep revolution? He's obviously up to something or something is going on , but you really don't know what..... then that's where youe imagination finishes the story.....but on to the next! :arrow:

See.... This is it. It means a lot of different things. But I don't think it's "not relating to..." But I'm fine with throwing 10,000 MPC's on the cover.. :roll:

well, I think if it has to REALLY relate to the concept...or the music, then whoever does the cover needs to HEAR what's going to be on the doohickey to know which concept to go with...just my two pennies.

Well I know my track fits it just right! But, you are right.... 20 club bangers wouldn't fit ... I just figured that "The Revolutions Here...." :lol:

Well, I was just thinking of what a "musical" revolution would look like...


As in, the golden age :arrow: bullshit modern music :arrow: back to how it started


BUT then realized, if we don't have an album that fits that last "state" then it's just goofy...feel me?
