I was reorganizing my CD collection tonight and happened upon Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures. In addition to being one of the most powerful, emotive albums I own, it also has perhaps the greatest sleeve design I have ever seen:

Joy-Division_Unknown-Pleasures_Shes-Lost-Control-1979-550x550.jpeg


This is a prime example of the cover art reflecting the music perfectly, almost to the extent that it infuses and enhances the album experience.

You probably already know this. The image is a graph of the radiowaves from the first known Pulsar. It's not so much a design as it is a graph snatched from an astronomy textbook
(before they knew where the radiowaves were coming from and how they were produced, and because of their regularity, some people thought they might've been a signal from another civilization)
