How come more artists don't release their albums with multimedia elements? Examples of what I mean:
Have a Nice Life- Deathconsciousness came with a 70-page booklet of writings and artwork:

Fourth World Magazine- Pinhead in Fantasia came with a DVD of visuals that was supposed to go with the music (apparently also a small booklet of art/writing but I don't actually have it so I'm not positive):

Just a couple examples but you get the idea. I think it makes the thought of buying physical media a lot more compelling for people who are tempted to settle for a free digital version. And personally it helps me to understand what their work is really "about", in a way. Thoughts?

I always imagined that if I released an album I would include a magazine-sized booklet that would be formatted like a "Player's Guide" for an n64 game, where each song would be like a level. But the content would be writing and imagery loosely related to the song, with little "tips and tricks" that would reveal some behind the scenes stuff about the recording process.

things like Zaireeka are much more interesting than just having a glorified booklet

Oh I had forgotten about that. It is a pretty cool idea but its close to being too gimmicky. But then again I've never actually listened to it with 4 soundsystems.

i'm sure it's pretty lame in reality but it's neat

The Residents were masters of this.
