This is my favourite digipak release from a band, it is essentially twelve blisters containing a 3 inch cd featuring one track on each disk, which had to be popped through the foil in order to be played. All credits were printed out on a medicinal information sheet and contained warnings on the possible side effects of listening to the band. Designed by Farrow/Spaceman.
The whole concept is pursued fully, with the hospital connotations continuing with every aspect of the digipak, from the ingenious track listings on the medicinal sheet, to the print on the side of the packet stating '12 tablets 70 min' in the typical pharmaceutical font, and the band name with a registered trade mark sign that not only anchors down the connotations of hospitals and treatment, but also the concept that it is an album and not just a prescription packet.
