A strong photographic cover for this episode in the compilation mix serie from Fabric, already responsible for a great number of interesting cover designs.

Avoiding any cheesy reference to the famous docu-fiction of Orson Welles the title could have suggested, the It's All True album of Junior Boys pays tribute in this cover to the city of Shanghai were the duo composed the songs : the image is a close-up of the British pavillon at the Expo in Shanghai.

Pterodactyl - Spills Out (2011)

2562 - Fever (2011)

A refreshing sleeve, as much as a nice concept. The idea behind the music was that 2562 used sounds, extracts and samples from his 70' and 80' Disco collection, treat them and combine them in order to forge an hommage to the original 4x4 stylistic elements, but twisting them through the Dubstep, Post Garage the Techno musical techniques of our time. Logically, the artwork expresses his fascination for the era, and shows him as the boy he was back then. The picture is credited to Hans Huismans, presumably his father.
The treatment of the image has the delicate color balance of an old picture, and subtlely evocates nostalgia, without the excess of the Instagram fashion.

Gonjasufi - A Sufi and a Killer (2010)

A Sufi and a Killer was realesed in March, 2010 with its intensely graphic psychedelia, which was the work of Michael Raymond Russel, aka MRR. Avoiding the easy paths of the indian inspiration behind Sumac Valentine's music, and giving such an austere yet rewarding visual experience was a coup de maitre, and MRR created here a truly captivating object that do what the best sleeves has to : being a companion for the music, that inspires the listener, and not a mere illustration of the idea or concept of the piece.

NOFX - Heavy Petting Zoo (1996)

The cover art for Heavy Petting Zoo, by illustrator Mark deSalvo, depicts a man sexually touching a sheep. The LP version was even more graphic, showing the same man and sheep, except in Position 69. The title itself is a play on words, with the phrases heavy petting and petting zoo combined to suggest taboo human-to-animal interactions. The alternate LP title, Eating Lamb, suggests both regular eating and the slang use that means performing oral sex, and the cover art shows a human "eating [a] lamb" in the latter sense.
