2LP Vinyl – WARPLP207R

Two institutions of electronic music, braininess, and design– Brian Eno and Warp Records– come together for their first-ever co-release.

A quick Google search for “Small Craft on a Milk Sea”, the title of Brian Eno’s new album, turns up several sites focused on the record’s next-level packaging. As phrases like “signed and numbered,” “copper plate,” and “lithographic” gave way to descriptors like “birch paper-covered slipcase,” “crimson stock,” and “foil blocked credit sheet,” my first thought was whether the relentless fetishization of the physical product does the content within any favors.
