10622, phrenology artwork
Posted by aoxomoxoa, Thu Jun-06-02 05:55 AM
personally I think it will be the best Roots cover yet, and the first non-photograph design ever (??), not including organix (which is just black, right?).

either way, its looking sweet.
10623, let me see all of it then!!!
Posted by djradius, Thu Jun-06-02 06:24 AM
it looks interesting and kinda oldschoolish but i wanna see it all and i didnt know what to expect
peace
10624, nah.

blow your avatars up so we can see them a little better? or is that the whole thing? "hey okaystaff, lets be real cool and secretive and only show them a 1 sq.inch image of it! we're soooo coool!"
10630, hee hee hee

that's exactamondo there papi!

me and b's jawn's are about 1/354,234,904,690,689th of the cover.

however, lucky smoking groovers will see it in its 80ft glory as it will be the backdrop.

to get a clue, look in old encyclopedia's for old phrenology charts.

i must admit. i consider tfa to be the "off the wall" to phren's "thriller", the real question will be can we top this cover for the next album.
10631, i've just been convinced

10637, im guessing
Posted by atruhead, Sat Jun-08-02 03:13 AM
its gonna be loosely based around the brain chart picture

i see a picture of ?uestlove

the handle to the afro pick in b. kyles

i cant decipher what the other one is.

but whats so dope about it? maybe i'll understand later

if they could aim to release this by years end that would be great

10654, for an idea of the cover
Posted by Iltigo, Fri Jun-07-02 01:40 AM
check out this site

http://pages.britishlibrary.net/phrenology/images.html

google is a wonderful thing

my vision:

i profile of a brotha/sista, with their brain mapped out like th cover of teh phrenology handbook.

each section (all 39 of them) is a little look into the roots as a band (the fist, the drum kit, the party, etc.)

*lightbulb*

you know you could have 7 different covers (ala TFA) with each band member posing as the profile pic....hmmmm might work. and the little pictures could be in differnt order according to how important each element is to them. (ie. thought woudl have the mic, and maybe a fist be promonent, while kamal would have the keys and an ice grill being promonent)

well anyway, looks like this could shape up to be the most interesting cover the date..cant wait to but it at 12:01
10655, or
Posted by JtothaI, Fri Jun-07-02 06:55 AM
the images aLL make up quest's 'fro

Posted by adopemcisadopemc, Fri Jun-07-02 07:44 PM
Damn...I was gonna post this link too, I thought i was gonna be all original and shiiiiiiiit...ah well, google definitely is a wonderful thing tho

And whoever had that idea about the 7 covers with each one's profile is ill...

But on second thought...do we really wanna delay this piece any longer?
