I just got my hands on the Wonderful Life 7" and the Mantronix Remix is atrocious. I've already ranted about this on a previous post. Does Sony have ANY idea who their target audience is? <br /><br />No need to preach to the choir, but there was a reason PSB did so well among its audiences. Same could be said for Miss Gaga. Excellent remixes, 12" versions and notoriety. The people on this Hurts project need to go learn about Tom Moulton and Walter Gibbons. The present state of this industry is no different than that time period (in ALL respects) and Hurts need to work in a club environment.Freemansons? So 8 years ago. Pony up the dough and hire Kaskade for that Top 40 Club Stormer. If Hurts flop out of the gate DOA, Sony will have NOBODY to blame but themselves. Bottom line is that Sony is completely out of touch. <br /><br />Again, Kitsune may be Hurts' only lifeline at this point.The Music Gourmandizerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07492372097985799032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-61018643767493273892010-07-18T20:03:17.426-04:002010-07-18T20:03:17.426-04:00This album cover is desolate.

The logo is not to scale with the image. In fact, the image looks like two images merged together.

More damning than the Photoshop technique is the hamfisted typography, coupled with the complete elimination of <i>chiaroscuro</i> via the background gradient, and finally the overweening insensitivity of the overall composition. A first year graphic design student would get a C- for this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
