Re: [microsound] minimal release formats

[cyborgk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I would personally be quite happy with a CD-r, with some very artistic,
unique, or thoughtful packaging. Honestly in these days, a lot of people
have their CD's burned to hard drive, i-pod, or else have just the discs
in those 128-disc notebooks, so often the packaging just sits in a corner
somewhere anyway.

I personally think it would be cool to include something in the packaging
like a small piece of artwork, perhaps 1 or 2 small pieces that would fit
on my fridge or desk for example.

This work sounds wonderful by the way, I'd love to pick up a copy when
it's released.
