Just a really quick hack on Jorge's design to get a look at the ideas... http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/phreadom/haiku/2010-04-haiku-r1a2-cd3.png Something like this? http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d12/phreadom/haiku/2010-04-haiku-r1a2-cd4.png Or like that... (brighter to make the difference more clear)
The green background does not look bad, particularly the darker green which provides a better contrast for the logo and the white text. :)
That being said, uniformity of color throughout all artwork (website, flier, sticker, CDs, etc.) is important (essential) from the POV of reinforcing the brand and increasing brand equity, so personally I would prefer not go down the road of changing background colors, particularly given that both the [ALPHA 2] stamp and the "R1 alpha 2 release" text are prominent enough to make the different versions easily distinguishable.
