Another great one is for the Mission Bell―that was inspiring :)Yeah, I also like to see albums in cardboard sleeves. They don't last as long, as the edges go tatty, but there's something more tactile about them...and I nearly always go for them. As for Mezzamorphosis, I never saw the cardboard version, but I have the Jewel case one. It's not a great design, but it's one I can relate to and will always remember.I'll try and take a look at the Plastic mould version of Kingdom Of Comfort next time I'm at HMV.Thanks for your comments. I'll take a look at your link now :) Hello again Cameron,

Still trying to decide how I'm going to make it work practically though. :)In answering this question, I think Delirious have always been cutting-edge (ooh I think I hate that word :) ) with their album covers..The first 2 released (can't remember them now) were in cardboard-based sleeves, then there was 'live and in the can'.I think they got more into the 'design' of things with King of Fools and Glo. Mezzenoia (?) - wasn't that great design wise, but although there were some great songs, don't think it was that great an album.Touch brought them back with a great conceptual packaging again - the ones I saw, had a black cardboard sleeve that revealed a picture of the band when one touched it (heat sensitive).This latest one is the best though, I think. It's packaged in a plastic mould, and the booklet really is a miniature hard-cover little book. The design is great as well! :) Practically it's a little awkward because it's slightly larger than normal cd packaging, but thankfully it fits in my cd case fine :)sorry for the long post - have enjoyed Delirious for years too, and their cd designs have almost always been an inspiration. - I'm a big fan of CD packaging in general, and Delirious have some of the better ones, especially for Christian music.Best of luck with the site! :) if you want to have a look at my own God-themed blog, it's here: http://himynameiscam.blogspot.com/Catch you on twitter, I'm sure! :)Cam Hey Andrew,

Nice blog – I sit with a similar issue – my first blog has actually been “christian” based, and not design at all, and have a similar quandry, where I’m not sure the two mix well. Still trying to decide how I’m going to make it work practically though. :)

In answering this question, I think Delirious have always been cutting-edge (ooh I think I hate that word :) ) with their album covers..

The first 2 released (can’t remember them now) were in cardboard-based sleeves, then there was ‘live and in the can’.

I think they got more into the ‘design’ of things with King of Fools and Glo. Mezzenoia (?) – wasn’t that great design wise, but although there were some great songs, don’t think it was that great an album.

Touch brought them back with a great conceptual packaging again – the ones I saw, had a black cardboard sleeve that revealed a picture of the band when one touched it (heat sensitive).

Best of luck with the site! :) if you want to have a look at my own God-themed blog, it’s here: http://himynameiscam.blogspot.com/
