Founder of gorgeous ambient label Em:t about their animal-themed covers

David Thompson: “We wanted our visuals to be a bit more imaginative than the fractals used on most electronic music sleeves. The photographs give the label an unique identity and, seeing as how the animals usually look pretty weird, they reflect the abstract nature of the sounds we’re dealing with. There’s also a veiled ecological comment. The way the world is going, it won’t be too long before we are left with nothing but pictures of these creatures.
