I like the futuristic sci-fi and almost dystopian look of Caater's cover art, but also clearly made on a budget

King Size (2001)


II Level (1997)


Contact (1998)


King Size (Single) (2001)

These are the type of covers intended to be printed BIG!

Some artwork from Sufjan Stevens 'The Ascension'















Those colours, optical illusionary!

Pretty much everything Man's Ruin Records (Frank Kozik), Hydrahead Records (Aaron Turner) and John Dyer Baizley (Baroness, Gillian Welch.)

I'd like to think maybe those button eyes gave Bowie inspiration for the Lazarus music video.

It was special edition cover exclusive to Alabama, only a lucky few got it. Who else saw this cover?

Spoiler: show

Full disclosure: I'm showing my internet age here. That's a picture from the famous Alabama Leprechaun newscast. When I first saw the album cover it was all I could (and still do) picture and it cracks me up every time.

Who else seen the Leprechaun say yeah!

Those poor folks probably saw Warwick Davis in his new job as a Tree Surgeon.

Can confirm; crackheads do in fact sing, dance, and steal things

Life imitates art, I suppose.

I wonder if Dr. Alex Paterson of The Orb is a Francis Bacon fan.

The Orb - Moonbuilding 2703 AD (2015)


Can anyone else see it?

I think this is Ghost Box's best design, everything about it is great.

Simple Minds - Life In A Day (1979)

I was a big Simple Minds fan many moons ago, always liked that cover.

This is kind of an obvious one in a way and I'm not a Yes fan at all, but you can't deny it's good shit.

Have you been reading my mind? Maybe a controversial prog opinion but that is my favourite Roger Dean Yes cover.

I’ll give you a controversial prog opinion- 90125 and Big Generator are the greatest Yes records. Absolute genius pop albums.

Without. A. Doubt.
Both albums definitely offer something different from other AOR albums and bands at the time like Asia, and with Trevor Horn as producer you really can't go wrong.
