That would be me then. I was thinking there was a nice variety of shades of grey laugh

I love the Artwork. OK it does remind me of the old ATV logo though.

Also the logo reminds me of some socks that I own, those who've met me can testify. cool cool

I'm looking forward to owning/hearing a totally new album from John and the Maths and the tracks I've already heard are anything to go by, then I'm not going to be dissapointed.

For some reason, the artwork reminds me of an old bit on Sesame Street on geometry--with music by Philip Glass. Maybe it's all the colors and interlocking shapes...

LOL! Peter, I'm guessing John Foxx must have seen your socks at a gig and taken inspiration for the sleeve idea from them!!

I really like the cover design, very fresh and colourful, just whats needed after all the monochrome and the left over from The seventies and /or Metamatic artwork.
...plus someone won't be able to make the quip that "all his covers are the same.." wink

Well, it's not a John Foxx solo album. It's a collaboration. A band. A new direction. Sort of.

Like the image but not keen on typeface, and changing colours on the type. Dare I say that grey would have been a better colour?
Cheers

I really like the changing colours on the type, but then we have already established a few years back that our artistic tastes are slightly different (I'm talking Buffalo here wink )

The sleeve also reminds me of Pet Shop Boys "Yes" and Depeche Mode "Sounds of the Universe" (the limited editions in each case). It is a beautiful simple design and as others have said, nice to have something a little different although as soon as I say that though I want a Foxx image instead! smile
