Marfloth · 12.29.2006, 11:11 PM

k-krack · 12.29.2006, 11:35 PM

It's called homage/tribute.

PAULYBEE2656 · 12.30.2006, 06:27 AM

in a similar way the cameron crowe movie vanilla sky had a homage to the cover of the freewheelin' bob dylan in the film

sonicl · 12.31.2006, 05:15 AM

Why shouldn't ToL reference PIL with the CD packaging?

Iain · 12.31.2006, 07:46 AM

Uh...it couldn't be anything other than deliberate.

whorefrost · 12.31.2006, 07:53 AM

it's called "homage/pastiche" according to one press release I saw

Pookie · 12.31.2006, 08:01 AM

Rip-offs and homages of record covers, and indeed of records, is as old as rock/pop music itself. I recommend this excellent book:

http://www.amazon.com/1000-Record-Co...e=UTF8&s=books

which demonstrates this fact nicely.

i got that book for christmas two years ago

you, thread starter are an idiot.

pil did the metal box packaging because they thought of their music to have more in common with film than rock (they counted jeanette lee, their videographer, as a group member in the liner notes).

text of light improvise music to the films of stan brakhage, connecting music to film. they pay homage to pil too, of course.

This sort of thing can be done very well(as in the case of Text Of Light) if the musicians paying homage are worthy of homage themselves.Anyway,been listening to PIL a great deal recently.
