Here's a song I wrote five years ago using a Korg Triton Le and a Yamaha MOTIF 6. Until now, it never had a title, so I've named it after my girlfriend.
Here's the cover:

Note: there's a gap of six seconds into the song, this is a small error that was my mistake, but the song starts after the sex second gap!!
Sorry - that should be six second gap!!
Hey that is pretty catchy! I love it! Nice work.
It does not work for me.
Never ever put your own picture on a record sleeve either, it does not work as an image. Either choose something that reflects your artists name or to do with the song or whta it's about.
Excellent song!
Next time you may want to use the mp3 format instead of wma. That way it is compatible 100 % across different operating systems. Often times I have trouble playing wma or wmv files in Linux.
If you have the Nero burning suite, there is a sound editor that will save wav (or wma) files to mp3. Or you could search Sourceforge for something with the LAME codec.
Your cover shot looks fine to me, but I would use Photoshop or GIMP to jazz it up a bit. It's a bit plain for an electronic dance cover. Maybe play with some vibrant colors and/or do something like making the brick wall behind you look more 3-Dish. It doesn't have to be too trippy looking.
That logo on your myspace is pretty cool looking and maybe you could incorporate it in your cover somehow. Like on the brick wall behind you?
Anyhow just some suggestions.
SwanGeese, thanks for the comment. I have converted it to mp3 using FAP WMA to MP3 Converter - Nero sucks, I have Roxio EMC8!!
As for the cover - well that was only a quick effort, and I like it. The photo I took myself in Southampton around the old walls near St Michael's Church. I based the cover (loosely) on the image used for Jarre's 'Images' album:
The logo on my MySpace is used so much now, and there are so many variations of that image, it's public domain property. I can't remember where it first came from though.
As for the song itself - I have a friend who is a local amateur DJ and he took it to France on his holiday and managed to get it played in a nightclub in Paris and it got good response - not bad for something that started off as a joke while testing out the two keyboards in a shop in Manchester!!
