Zinkplaat is an Afrikaans pop-rock-blues-fusion band
from South Africa. The name Zinkplaat is the Afrikaans word for
corrugated metal. This, their fourth album comes shrink-wrapped with a
scratch-off ink layer on the front and back, as well as a guitar pick
to scratch the ink off with. The album’s name ‘Mooi Besoedeling’
translates to ‘Beautiful Polution’. We believe this is a very good
functional solution to the fact that a simplistic clean cd cover design
stands out most from all the clutter on a store shelf, yet is very
boring once bought. However one wants to read the album as a concept,
people seem to love the scratch-off part…
