copy & paste from Sleevage
The hardest part about having a name like µ-Ziq is asking someone at the record shop if they have them in stock. Also where do you file it under M, under U or with the numbers?
The cover is as ambiguous as it comes. Is he waiting to interview people or just really likes the feel of wood grain? Or is he a mime (you cant see his face) about to perform on some decks?
The whole cover seems like it should be an interface for a website or interactive clip (ala Neon Bible). You just want to click his hands and start making music.
The photo is actually a good lesson for photographers. If you want to make your shots more interesting get creative with the angles. This shot from any other angle would have been boring.
The design studio behind this is Blue Source, who along with Big Active and Farrow do probably 85% of the music design in the UK. The photographer is Amber Rowlands who sadly hasn’t done any other cool music related photography.
µ-Ziq also released an EP for this with a similar concept. Although you lose some of the effect by showing less of the person.
p.s. one of the best cover by my opinion that I have seen. See how minimal and clear is and how the fonts that used is merge nicely with the photo. No need to know m-ziq and what kinda of music plays, the outwork speak by it self.
