Looks pretty nice, but I have one suggestion. The green logo in the middle of the cd cover looks weird a little bit, I think it's better to put it in one of the corners.

oh wow, that hurts... a nice piece of art but the layout of the CD and the logo in the artwork just makes it worth half... they did stuff like that in the seventies but these days we should know better

I am sorry, i don't mean to sound rude, just criticizing the design, in my opinion there is too many filters, bevel and emboss effects, alignment of text issues such as margins are a bit off. The typography is different, kinda agree with NoXx, its creative but a bit retro, color scheme is odd. again, i do think it's a creative piece, but maybe something a little different. Sometimes simplicity does the trick :)

ok the logo in the cover should be in the upper right corner to have success... but there is more... it is implemented into the cd again much too big... this means they love to overrepresent themselves which never is a good sign... underestatement is much better... then you had a better chance for a layout of the CD as you could come down with the title that is pressed pretty far up at the moment... and see they tell u that they have no respect for the art you present in the cover... that is what I meant

and well... the typo is not consequent...
