I like the art inside DYOH, I recently got it on 12 and was shocked to find it has more pictures than in the cd book... but cover would be surrender, it's classic, I have a poster of it in my house and love looking at it, just analyzing it

Its quiet cause antype's not here (he says he's too busy).
I like the artwork from the Come with us singles (and Japan EP, American Ep etc)--with the people standing in a circle-really cool.

Surrender
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Yeah, the Grenade & Feather one is great, I really love the contrast - I really like the art from the Dig period but I also love the work Kate Gibb did for the Chems with Surrender and Come With Us. There is a lot of depth to the Surrender and Come W/ Us art. The art from that period looks almost 3 dimensional, like it was created using layers of images.
I wish I knew what all the art work meant but I don't think 'meaning' is all that important. I believe that's the beauty of art. I think in the Chem's case, the art used on their sleeves is to invoke feelings rather than be disected in terms of what image symbolises what. Sometimes words can't be used to describe music, and the music or art speaks for itself and doesn't necessarily need written written summaries to guide how a person should judge what he's seeing or hearing. Although it helps sometimes and comes in handy when you are studying art. ;) I personally have a hard time trying to describe what I'm hearing when I hear the Chemical Brothers. I think the same can be said about art in general and the art for the Chems is no exception.

the block rockin beats cover...but not the one with the feather and grenade (although i have a t-shirt with that on it)...the one with the grenade and the chess pieces. fucking brilliant.
on a side note, i used the loops of fury cover photo on a research paper waaaay back when i was a senior in high school (i'm showing my age here) and i got extra credit because my teacher liked the picture. whoo hoo!
i also like the setting sun and life is sweet covers. life is sweet cover looks extremely trippy with those 3D-esque pictures on the wall.

no no..i meant "got glint" written on the shirt is a bit cheesy.
No no! I have a little black top my mom-in-law had embroidered with "got glint?" (not in huge letters, maybe an inch and a half high) in white stitching across the chest. It's dope and not the least bit cheesy. If anything I get tired of people asking me what "glint" is - and it's great to wear in a club or at a show. I have yet (except my friends) make the Chemical connection when I wear the shirt.
