   I like the letterpress style cases. You may consider also Arigato Pak – although I have no idea about which is the less expensive…
   By the way, recently n5MD started a special repress series in Arigato Pak. I’m going to buy the SubtractiveLAD one which I missed and see how it is.

     nice post.

     you should do this and then get a gocco kit (which we used on the guilty prize covers) which considering your fondness of crafts, i think you’d enjoy

       I looked at Gocco stuff on Ebay & they were kinda pricey. That site has good prices, but says everything is out of stock!

         you have to be patient…sometimes they’re pricey but sometimes you can get it for $60 like i did.

         Look also on Etsy.com – I just tried searching (all items search) and I found several Goggo Kits there, but they all seem kinda pricey too.

   or Moon. which isn’t hte same type of movie but i think you may dig it. also i think Bowie’s son either directed or wrote this possibly both.

   Sunshine is the same movie in certain ways, but better mainly because it doesn’t try to showcase special effects (which always makes something dated & cheesy, sometimes already when it comes out). Solaris is kind of the same movie but better also. I haven’t seen Moon yet, but I hear good things & if it ever happens to be on in a room where I am sitting I plan to watch it.

   I looked at the aragato pak & I think I might go ahead & work with Shane Sauers (Rollerball/Miss Massive Snowflake/Starbage Hands) & make something similar of my own design specifically to fit Silber’s needs. I think the aragato design isn’t very friendly for radio & that’s something I really want to be.

     Well, Arigato Pak may appear to be hard to open but this is not always the case. Some letterpress releases that I have in my collection are very complicated to open without damaging the artwork though.
     I remember when Independent Project Records used to release limited edition CDs packaged in those tasty letterpress cases. I bought the Half String stuff, it was not so easy to extract each CD from its case :D

       That IPR stuff was beautiful to look at, but I found myself not listening to them as much for fear of damaging them!

         The same here. However, I started using plastic bags only for the CDs so I don’t have to bother with those letterpress cases all the time.

   I’m not one to be influenced by the “handmade” thing people tend to drop with limited releases. Cd sized objects – no matter how much love has went into them – don’t influence my decision to purchase an album.

   However, I’d be naive to ignore that people really like these things.
