I don't know why he didn't do the front cover too if he's going for the
whole replica thing... what could it be?
PUBLIC
CONFRONTATION
IS A
BAD
IDEA
Yes, front cover of the original would have been pretty easy to approximate I think- since it's a text-only design. I doubt the people at Thirsty Ear would be the types to issue a cease and desist order over such an appropriation.
I'll still cede higher ground to Herr Haswell when it comes to sound though- like Swans of the period he's referencing, he seems to be going for a "make every track sound as if it is your last" kind of exhaustive approach that is pretty damned satisfying.
