Hi Everyone... if you visit the link in the main pages to CDON.com you will see that the picture sleeve of the new vacuum singls Fools can be seen there... a very brooding, sinister photo Of mattias with simple artwork to not detract from the power of the image..... I love it... so post your view of the sleeve here

Probably Mattias represents the person who narrates about this history, therefore so is dressed to not draw attention to itself

Hey, people! It's only YOUR powerfull imagination!!!! As for me, Mr Lindblom reminds here an orthodox monk and it's rather difficult to anderstand that it's VACUUM's CD... or maybe I haven't art sense.... Anyway I was waiting for more.

Hi, I´m back again; David and Svetlana wrote so nice, that I must stay here in the forum.
At first: Today it´s Mattias´ birthday so let´s say all together: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU - and that all your dreams will come true!!!
Now the answer to David´s question: Fortunately it´s not difficult for me to buy the Vacuum-CD´s. "The Plutonium Cathedral" I got from WOM (world of music) and "Culuture of night" I got from CDON. The singles "I breathe" and "tonnes of attraction" are in order this time from e-bay. The new album I could order from CDON too but it should be released in Germany. Very good! But a concert they given´t in England too till now, right? Which Vacuum-albums are released in England?
I wish all members of the forum a nice day!!!

Great to see you posting here again Andrea..... unfortunately it is impossible to buy Vacuum product in any normal record stores here as nothing has been released n the UK..I hope that will change soon... But the best place in the UK to buy Vacuum product is eil.com although they dont have very much and I have to import all my vacuum cds from online stores like Skivhugget...

It is of no doubt that Martina Hoogland-Ivanow has made her another great photograph!
Since I haven't yet listened to the single, I probably make a mistake but I really suppose that this photo with an awful hat on Mattias' head is more suitable for Jay Kay from Jamiroquai than for Vacuum. Mattias is on the way from the image of eccentric long-hair blond to the one of depressed vagrant. It is his decision, of course, but I personally liked his previous image more than the present one.

Aniv, hail you! Yeah, the previous image was better anyway. ...Somewhere in a very deep dark corner there's Mattias, sitting alone. You can see neither his face, nor the expression on it, and you are not even sure, whether this is Mattias at all. Who has turned off the light? Matti-i-ias, stop being Jamiroquai! To be frank, it does not suit You.

Mattias is able to choose any style that he wants, and he need no advise.

Whatever whoever like or dislike, whatever anyone says about anyone’s image, I like this sleeve as for mentioned single. It’s great! Laconic and full of meaning! That same laconic is my comment.

p.s. BTW, he reminds rather Ville Valo than Jamiroquai and I see nothing awful in such image. Anyway, everyone is free with own choice

Wonder why some of you people judge about the sleeve from this tiny imagine? See it in bigger format first, then you'll understand that Mattias does not look like Jamiroquai at all (esp. in the striped Hugo Boss suit he is wearing in it). I personally think that this foto shows the mood of the forthcoming album 100%. Serious, dark and beautiful.

I couldn't agree more Olya... at first glance the sleeve just looks like a standard photo.. but it also hints at something darker and has a sinister edge to it... mattias looks fantastic in the photo.. its broody and enigmatic and after hearing other tracks from the album the sleeve totaly makes sense..

I personally judge about the sleeve viewing it in large size on this site (section dedicated to Vacuum singles). And underline that I see no similarity to Jamuroquai in image on the sleeve. Btw, even if someone detects any similatity I don’t think it’s abusive comparison since mentioned musicians do excellent music and videos. Anyway, I see on the sleeve image exactly Mattias and won’t compare him to anybody
And… David, don’t you want to agree with my statement concerning laconicism and meaningfulness? Actually, I can’t agree with you that at first it looks like a standard photo From the very first glance it shows very especial mood. Trivial photo usually shows the object itself clearly and you feel nothing. And here the photo shows lots of emotions and reflections, induces your own emotions and reflections
Yours Marianna (Excuse me for step aside from laconicism )
