Inspiration Sunday: Radio 4's Stealing of a Nation album art
While not my favorite of their albums (the new one, 'Enemies Like This', is just damned amazing), 'Stealing of a Nation' is still a solid album of this post-punk-inspired group from my absolute favorite label, Astralwerks.
This is one of the few cases of 'judging a book by its cover' (and yes, I know this is a CD and not a book, genius) that actually holds true. The album is one of those post-Homeland Security statements, and the creepy art just holds true to that Big Brother Mentality so prevalent in the lyrics. What really struck me by the art, though, was that it's actually sequential art. Each image leads into the next one, telling a story through a series of shots of scenery.
The graphics were done by 'Howard at U-G-S.com', which is Unknown Graphic Services, who apparently looking through their site have done a number of my other favorite album covers.
