mmm...yes. however, in some ways, many of the covers produced by tina, 
designers republic and others follow a form that is simply being redefined. 
the conventional "subject" is different, but often the form itself is the 
subject to a greater degree than the "subject" is. carson and, to a lessor 
degree, frank are proponents of this, in demonstartion, if not intent.
on the other hand, one could argue that the artwork for the covers of the 
ritornell releases isn't all the same, they simply use the same motiff.
though ritornell is indeed a label, i do tend to regard it as a series, in 
that these releases might just as well come out on mille plateaux. setting 
them aside as a ritornell release seems an effort by achim to highlight them 
as something special, with a subtext that is shared by the artists (or the 
particular musics) featured.
