coolest album covers

Post by hoover » Tue Oct 30, 2012 5:38 pm

Hey people, looking for some inspiration for my first EP cover, what are your favourite album covers? doesn't necessarily have to be dubstep but any electronic music. It's my firts release, dont want it to look lame!

Thanks!

Well i guess I want the cover to hint towards what kind of music it is. And I don't think most electronic music has shit covers to be honest... I think it totally depends on the artist. But those are cool thanks mate. I always liked prodigys stuff, music videos and album covers, like this one for instance:

Image

A friends of mine offered to do some artwork for the cover lets see what she comes up with. I just said do whatever you think the music looks like :D I don't mind if its surreal or really abstract, I like that kinda stuff :4: Anyway have to get them printed somewere and thought id try one of these online printers, has anyone tried print24, are they good quality? Im gonna have about a couple hundred physical CDs made, to hand out and (hopefully) sell a few :D

Kinda oldskool :P

I agree with Constrobuz. Roger Dean's covers rule.

Feel it is a great cover, so are the City Limits. Chunkys one is decent too. Always liked Eminems Relapse where they made his face out of pills.
