Likewise. He still used the Avant Garde

Has the look of the real thing, Photoshop median filter, A Kraftwerk reference, and the same type as seen in the promo. Nice

...And i thought 'Get Ready' was bad. If this is real,Saville has lost his touch.

Nice.

I think Savilles old designs were pretty bad generally, and I like Get Ready/its singles/HTS.....

Also, why would New Orders actual official website have a fake cover on it?

My new PC Visual Display Unit is playing up so i can't quite make the COVER out.Bit blurred?And is it called TUFTY?:D

Fake. I don't buy it.

..and they're flattering themselves if they think it sounds anything like kraftwerk

Hey I like it. At least its not white. If its a fake, well, I wouldn't mind if it wasn't

It's not fake... Quite positive on this one.

Okay, but why then does it resemble so much of Autobahn? Mind you, the title too. What's the point? It becomes just ridiculous! Saville - or whoever works for him now - must have been having fun...

I like it. So what if it looks slightly like autobahn, and to be honest if that sort of thing gets up your nose you really need to get a life and worry about something that's actually important. The songs great and so's the artwork. Every sleeve can't be a true faith or a blue monday and yes i do think it's better than the artwork on get ready, but thats not hard.

Spot on, Mark - well said and welcome CTB

Artwork is hit and miss in general. It's the music I care about. Doesn't mean I don't have True Faith as my desktop.

What - no fireworks? Someone go wake up Biznotic Trapezoid.

I’ve always been a big fan of Peter Saville’s artwork. His earlier works had a simple minimalistic style, almost Piet Mondrian induced designs particular the single sleeves then he dabbled with a touch of surrealism like the one on “Thieves Like Us” sleeve. His best work in my opinion came with “Technique” the colorful abstract picture of a cherub; now, that was brilliant.

He dropped off a bit on “Republic” which had a more cinematic theme to it but it screamed ‘sell out’. He sort of tied that in to the “Get Ready” artwork, almost a French Noir style with the androgynous looking girl in various dream like poses, which was interesting and it worked for me, maybe too artsy-fartsy for some people. Too bad the album, musically, was somewhat disappointing.

“Krafty” sleeve looks completely different, a 180 degree change closer to his abstract days with the blurry portrait of the autobahn or highway and a washed out symbol of something in the middle adds to some sense of mystery. The sienna or amber color that dominates the picture is something new from Saville’s palette. At any rate, I like it!!

just got home and saw this. I WAS DEAD WRONG and feel like a GIANT ASS. I love this cover, actually. Now i've got to get the promo and the official release to get both sleeves. Don't care about the perceived Kraftwerk homage, I think the image is nice. I wonder what the other singles will look like? Surely they won't continue with this theme?

Foot now removed from mouth.

That last post really sums it up well.

It is a really good cover. I think its vintage Saville.

Like the single itself, it is modern, but still sounds/looks like New Order. Not easy to do.

Give it 8.5/10. More than the song itself.

. . .was actually referring to Sammy's post. . .

actually the lyrics talk about ..."getting up for work, sitting in a car,driving down the road" .... seems too obvious
