Line Out - Comments on Adult. vs Client http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/05/adult_vs_client This has bothered me for a while now, but it only occurred to me to post something about it after I got the new Client cd, Heartland in the mail. Here's the cover art for that album: Cropped (headless) women,...

It'd be kinda funny?

how's this for nit-picking: the "modern romantics" single pictured here is the 2002 remix. the 1998 release came in a black sleeve with no photography. however kuperus' career as a fashion photog predates any of adult.'s releases.

i've never actually heard a client song nor seen an album cover, but the rip-off quotient here is staggering. how tacky!!!

the deceptively simple aesthetic of kuperus' photography (like monochromatic movie stills of women in hot shoes) simply cannot be duplicated. (miss kittin & the hacker's album cover was said to be a tribute to adult. and not a blatant rip off like client.)

I couldn't find artwork for the original release, and assumed it had been the same. But you're the bus driver.

But wait, since the alt rock band "That Dog." had a period at the end of their name, wouldn't that imply that Adult. were ripping them off as well? Or was that just a tribute? And seeing as how those women on the Client covers are in fact Client and not just models, doesn't that change things a bit. I mean seeing as how there are three of them now, had they used head shots would you have accused them of ripping off Bananarama?
