I scrolled through my music library and there are so many great ones, however I've only picked out my absolute favourites.

My coworker gave me a copy of Keane's "Under the Iron Sea" and I always thought the cover was cool, but didn't realize the liner notes fold out vertically into a much larger piece of artwork:

Also, I think the album's a nice bit of Nu-Wave :wink:

Ah for fucks sake, the newest album from Ozric Tentacles (brill trailblazers in space-rock) has a cover created by AI. God.

If you look closely at the greens on the left and right you will notice it.

It's not my favorite by any means, it's just incredible and it doesn't get mentioned a lot. It also directly follows a contender for the worst album cover.
Okay...now...wait for fog machine.

Love myself a bit of Non-Stop Erotic Caberet! You can tell they were having a ball and fizzing with ideas (and oodles upon oodles of sarcasm) during the recording of it as well. That cover suits the sleazy underground sound of Seedy Films and Sex Dwarf like a glove.
Show us your package Marc. :wink:

First thing that comes to my mind, as I've rediscovered this album recently

One of my favorite album artworks for sure!

Another one would be this

Its actually the inside of the mbv - Isn't Anything digipack, if im not mistaken. Can't belive this comes from 1988!

I also love Deftones album covers.

Yello - Stella (1985)

It's abstract, it's surprisingly modern for '85
