Daft Punk - Homework (1997) / Discovery (2001)

The first two Daft Punk’s albums have one thing in common. They both utilise the bands logo as the main graphic. You’d think this would get boring after a while but it’s a smart move as both the albums are easily recognisable and have a nice twist on the logo. The creativity is in re interpreting the logo each time. The artwork has the sublty that at first glance is not noticed. It feels like underneath there is something going on and everybody is invited. Disco, house, punk?

Faust - IV (1973)

In a decade readily identified with flamboyance, the minimalist album cover for krautrock group Faust's fourth offering prepares you for the difficult, contrarian music inside. Several versions exist, but the key image is always the same; two columns of blank musical staves. A bold mission statement and a striking cover.

Peter Gabriel - 1, 2, 3
Peter Gabriel produced three funky, angular albums between 1977 and 1980 sharing the same bare typography, the same eponymous title and similar, striking portraiture.

1 (Car) (1977) - Another Hipgnosis creation, the spot colour on Peter Gabriel 1 was achieved by layered exposure of monochrome and colour negatives. Photoshopping before Photoshop, in other words.

2 (Scratch) (1978) - In “Scratch”: Gabriel’s outstretched fingers tear away the cover. This is a 35mm black and white still, with torn strips of paper glued on top. It was then re-photographed; the new shot was meticulously tippexed to disguise the rougher joins. It was then photographed yet again to produce the end result. Today, a similar effect would involve a basic design program and a lot of messing around, but it could never achieve the same result.

3 (Melt) (1980) - The photo was taken with a Polaroid SX-70 instant camera. The sleeve's designer Storm Thorgerson said: "Peter himself joined with us at Hipgnosis in disfiguring himself by manipulating Polaroids as they 'developed'… Peter impressed us greatly with his ability to appear in an unflattering way, preferring the theatrical or artistic to the cosmetic."

MDC - Millions of Dead Cops (1982)

Carlos Lowry designed this cover for radical San Francisco punks MDC's debut, based on a mural by Raul Valdez in Austin, TX. Though MDC was a ferocious presence, they were also quite thoughtful in their approach, which extended to their album arts, seen in this anti-facist image that somehow recalls the populism of Warhol and the style of Lichtenstein. This album, together with the "John Wayne Was a Nazi" single, is considered a hardcore punk classic.

The Beatles - The Beatles (1968) aka The White Album

The album's sleeve was designed by Richard Hamilton, a notable pop artist who had organised a Marcel Duchamp retrospective at the Tate Gallery the previous year. Hamilton's design was in stark contrast to Peter Blake's vivid cover art for Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, and consisted of a plain white sleeve. The band's name was discreetly embossed slightly below the middle of the album's right side, and the cover also featured a unique stamped serial number, "to create," in Hamilton's words, "the ironic situation of a numbered edition of something like five million copies."
Indeed, the artist intended the cover to resemble the "look" of conceptual art, an emerging movement in contemporary art at the time. Later vinyl record releases in the US showed the title in grey printed (rather than embossed) letters. Early copies on compact disc were also numbered. Later CD releases rendered the album's title in black or grey.

The third album from Aardvarck, on Eat Concrete Records, is a white vinyl with a picture cover.

Die Alten Maschinen - Songs about Love and Machines (Volume 1, 2 - 2010)

"Die Alten Maschinen jsou ideologicky projektem o strojích, které jsou člověku přátelské. O technologiích, které nejsou hrozbou, ale mají lidstvu především sloužit a pomáhat. Je to také pocta všem snílkům, vynálezcům a spisovatelům prvních idealistických sci-fi, kdy snít o budoucnosti bylo přece ještě tak krásné."

Za projektem stojí Moimir Papalescu a Petr Venkrbec, dále kanadský zpěvák a bubeník Leon Stevenson z novovlnných The Extras a Gerald V. Casale, lídr legendární americké skupiny DEVO. Obal desek má na svědomí výtvarník Adolf Lachman http://adolflachman.cz/cs/ .

Iggy Pop - Préliminaires (2009)

Préliminaires is a 2009 album by Iggy Pop, released in 2009, and inspired by Michel Houellebecq's novel La Possibilité d'une île (The Possibility of an Island). The visuals for the album were created by French-Iranian graphic novelist and animated film director Marjane Satrapi. Marjane and Iggy met when she asked him to voice one of the characters in the English language version of her Academy-award nominated movie Persepolis in 2007. When it was reviewed in Rolling Stone magazine, they called it "definitely the weirdest record of the punk godfather's career".

WWW - Tanec Sekyr (2009)

WWW (We Want Words) is a legendary project that, in the early 1990’s, created the basis of the contemporary Czech hip hop scene. However, their first full album called Neurobeat was released in 2006, long 15 years after the band was formed in 1991.
Cover design of Tanec Sekyr record was done by Vladimir 518 and Michal Škapa, photograph taken by Nikola Ivanov.
