The RiverRun Project - 10 years later

[Billy Goat]

Does anyone know if the 'barcode' cover titles on each riverrun release actually mean anything i.e. are they real barcodes or just stylised with 1 barcode per word? I think the code for Underworld is the same on them all but I can't see any pattern to pick out each letter. My quite logical brain can't cope with the uncertainty!

I don't think it's a barcode... If memory serves there is one bar for each letter in the title. I thought at first that it was a glitch with missing font information - but probably an intentional design choice.

That's correct.
UW was in a typological phase during RiverRun. See the remix singles. The bar art's a nice touch, too.
