Your favourite AE artwork?

EP7, Confield, Draft, Untilted

So basically the non-TDR stuff

It's true... chiastic and envane are really good too, so I'm not trying to just shit on TDR

But seriously the 4 mentioned above are the absolute tops

chiastic slide

envane

cichlisuite

ep7

draft

EP7 with the frosted case.  LP5 as an object.  Amber is pretty.  

Draft 7.30, if I had to choose one. Although CGI, it has the appeal and complexity of a living, breathing organism. One of Alex Rutterford's works (along with the Gantz Graf vid) if I'm not mistaken. Haven't seen any Ae LP/EP cover artwork as sophisticated before or since.

Envane and Chiastic Slide tho...either one of them would be a close second. They remind of graphics from the earliest full 3D computer games, like Continuum or Another World.

draft is cool but doesn't fit the music at all tbh.

draft artwork = spacious, bright, "expressionist", pompous / angelic

draft musics = intimate (almost claustrophobic), dark, rather monochrome, focus on the micro

...

IMHO.

the greenish / glow-in-the-dark-without-the-glow color scheme is ok tho. cassette version fits.

chiastic slide / untilted / draft 7.30

EP7

Exai & L-event (interesting too that it might "mean" something too, like some kind of QR-code...)

great job

PS:

I also have that problem about block's stupid faces, but only with L-event, not with Exai.

Draft artwork is cheesy. Discuss.

Agreed. It would fit in a shitty over-decorated fantasy videogame (and i like Rutterford designs generally).

I think my facial problems with L-Evant will be unleashed just after unfortunately saw this drawing

no ciclisuite love? :/ 

I like how Amber fits into their discography as an anomaly in so many ways including being the only unaltered real world photo they've used as a cover. It'd be interesting if they went back to that at some point but I doubt they ever will since they honed their own niche. 

Chiastic Slide has been giving me a headache since I found out that's supposed to be the Brooklyn Bridge on the cover in the same way that Envane is Fallingwater. Also, Envane is tops.

oh that's easy; chiastic slide, by miles

i love exai, quaristice and untilted.

i think the tdr stuff is brilliant actually, but i do hope for a radical switch next album art though.

“I was looking at the skyscrapers in New York. When I came back we started playing around with abstracting architectural forms. The natural lines of the skyscrapers, from these photos I’d taken, gave lines of perspective that formed an almost 3D grid. The black shape in the foreground of the cover is one of the towers of the Brooklyn Bridge, as seen from the Empire State Building. The type isn’t a font, it’s all just hand done, making a font that’s just made up from blocks”

Feel free to try and figure the perspective out yourself
