Congrats to Burst Labs musical peers Extreme Music for being featured at one of my favorite design-related websites, Sleevage, for their Directors Cuts series of production music.

This level of quality and appreciation for the details is exactly why I hired my friends Thom Wolfe and Greg Sylvester (formerly of Kerosene Halo, now of VSA – Chicago) to design the branding for my very first collection of production music, the Gravity Music Library. The duo went on to win a Grammy for Packaging (Madonna’s Ray Of Light) and I’ve been huge fans of their work for more than a decade now.

It’s a good day when the even the packaging in our niche little industry is competing with the marketing departments at major labels.

I dropped a comment over there :

… to date, we haven’t had the pleasure of producing kick ass physical packages the likes of which Extreme consistently releases… though we’re hoping that changes very soon.

Kudos to you, Ash and Sleevage, for recognizing that the production music library world does, on occasion, get it right – both in the music and the packaging.

Can’t wait. Can’t wait.
