Cheers, Laurent.

Maybe not, but B&O made an aluminium box with six Deutsche Grammophon recordings and a little booklet for the BS9000.

I don't know where my brother got his, (he used to work for B&O), but since he doesn't listen to classical music, I just stole his :o)

Picture can be seen here: http://toubro.dk/e107_plugins/autogallery/autogallery.php?show=B%26O_BS9000_Deutsche_Grammophon_box.jpg

I'm sorry for the quality of the picture, but it's a bit dark, and it's taken with my mobile, and my webgallery didnt want to rotate it.

The CDs have the same artwork as the covers.

What a good idea, Aj.
You could put a big "B" on the first, "S" on the second then "9", "0", "0", "0"!
Sorry, the drugs are wearing off!

Sorry, I don't think that idea is even worthy of a response!

It is interesting that most of the albums referred to in this post and indeed on most of the posts on this forum are of non-classical music!

Sadly, it seems that most classical CDs are SILVER with WORDS on them, not so attractive in a BS9000. I have an Arvo Pärt CD that is a nice aqua blue color, a Messiaen CD with a picture of a fearsome angel, hmmm... and that's all I can think of in my collection for interesting-looking classical CDs. I'm not at home, though, so I'm going by memory. Oh yes, I have some Bach keyboard concertos with a picture of the pianist's face on the disc! But he's not very attractive, and I don't know why he's there!

If I had a BeoSound 9000 I would burn my CDs to cool-looking discs or print fun labels to put over the boring CDs.

I had a dream once where they made a BS9000 that was for LP's instead of CD's, and I'd put some picture discs and coloured vinyl in it. I actually suspect that such a system would cost a fortune in raw materials along, being about 7 or 8 feet long, but man would that be cool looking

Hello Archie,

Nice; I recognize some CD's: U2-Pop and U2-Zooropa. The other once I do not recognize; but you are right; psychedelic!

This is my current BS9000 load:

Good idea to show the artwork;

The Damien Rice CD I referred to looks like this (artwork on CD similar to cover)

Massive Attack's Mezzanine looks great, and it appears to be their best opus ever...

I like the style of R.E.M.'s Automatic for the people too...

Cheers, Laurent.

I have an album from Fierce Angels (can't remember which one as I aint at home), which has 3CDs, and the art on each CD is partially zoomed in from the previous CD - if that makes sense.

Very nice effect when viewed in the BS9000.
