《礼堂 ideological Factory》黑胶的视觉部分由设计师Dydanni Dai设计。

黑胶的封面设计简洁利落，充满力量的“礼堂”二字首先印刷在铁板上，再通过电焊描绘，使其仿佛从铁板上跃出，揭示了其强烈的工业质感。封底为抽象的“立柱”，同样采用电焊描绘，灰色铁板的材质与粗野主义建筑的混凝土材质相呼应，更深层次地表达了Industrial Techno的内核。在印刷工艺上，使用特殊的表面处理工艺模拟铁板被焊描后的烙印，增强了设计的立体感和真实感。这不仅提升了黑胶的整体质感，还使其在唱片架上显如一块冰冷的铁板。

为了更好地凸显时代感，内页中还附赠了与早期社会主义主题相关的物料，如旧礼堂券、邮票等。此外实体唱片还附赠该专辑的Bandcamp下载码和艺人设计的贴纸。

《礼堂ideological Factory》不仅是一张黑胶唱片，它展现了独特的美学理念，是融合了工业风格与文化意涵的艺术作品。

The visuals of the vinyl "礼堂 ideological Factory" were designed by Dydanni Dai.

The vinyl's cover design is simple and impactful. The Chinese word "礼堂" (hall) was first printed on a metal plate and then depicted by welding, revealing its strong industrial texture. The back cover, a group of abstract columns, is also depicted by welding. Its gray metal material echoes the raw concrete material of Brutalist architecture, which expresses the core of Industrial Techno more deeply. In terms of printing technique, a special surface treatment was used to mimic the branded impression left by welding on the metal plate. This not only amplifies the overall quality of the vinyl but also makes it stand out on the record shelf as a real metal plate.

To better emphasize the sense of history, the inner pages come with materials related to early socialist themes, such as old auditorium vouchers and stamps. In addition, the physical record comes with a Bandcamp redeem code and artist-designed stickers.

"礼堂 ideological Factory" is more than a vinyl record - it manifests a unique aesthetic concept, a work of art that blends industrial style and cultural implications.

about

在20世纪中后期，礼堂曾是一个融合集体主义与个人自由的精神工厂，集体的力量与个体的独特性交织共生。它启迪着工人阶级探寻在共同体中如何维护个体的尊严与权益，并在自由中坚守社会的纪律与凝聚力。在此，人们共同探索平衡之道，塑造和谐进步的社会。

旧时代礼堂与粗野主义所指向的理想存在着某种微妙关联。原始、朴实和未经修饰的特质与人类最本质的状态相呼应；宏伟的结构与规整的秩序则是严肃的意识形态表达。这种粗犷的质地和克制的情绪，与专辑中冷峻粗粝的工业感不谋而合，它指向最原初的存在和最纯粹的能量。

对礼堂的回溯，是对集体记忆的抽象，也是对社会有机共生的想象。

In the mid-to-late 20th century, halls within the workers' cultural palaces in China emerged as ideological factories that seamlessly merged collectivism and individual freedom. The power of communal strength intertwined with unique individual expressions, encouraging the working class to explore ways to uphold their dignity and rights while maintaining societal discipline and cohesion within their community. Together they navigated towards finding balance and fostering a harmoniously progressive society.

A subtle link exists between these bygone halls and the principles of Brutalism. The primitive, simplistic, and unadorned qualities reflect the core essence of humanity. Their imposing structures and inherent orderliness serve as intense embodiments of ideological expression. This rugged texture and the static emotions echo the stark, raw industrial vibe of the album. It symbolizes the primordial existence and the most pure form of energy.

Looking back at these halls serves as an abstraction of collective memories but is also a reflection of the potential for harmonious coexistence within society.
