Sudah sebelas tahun Naif berkiprah. Tidak hanya meramaikan dunia musik Indonesia, Naif juga membawa pengaruh musik yang signifikan. Atas dasar inilah, sekumpulan musisi muda bergabung bersama untuk menunjukkan rasa salut mereka di dalam album Mesin Waktu: Teman-teman Menyanyikan Lagu Naif.Sejak awal kemunculannya lagu-lagu Naif begitu amat melekat di hati pencinta musik di tanah air, bahkan melintasi batas usia, mereka disukai oleh masyarakat umum dari anak balita hingga para lansia. Mungkin itu semua karena formula musik yang mereka tawarkan sejak awal, musik pop dengan format tradisional yang begitu amat representatif dengan zaman, di mana...

Mika’s music is catchy, fun and colourful and its good to see his cover artwork is much of the same. I didn’t even know who Mika was but then after checking out his website I realized I’d heard that “Love Today” song many times but never knew the singers name. His music reminds me of Queen meets Scissor Sisters.Here’s the back of the album.The characters were designed and drawn by Mika and his sister, Yasmine, who goes under the pen name DaWack. They created little narratives and scenes and then took all this to the ever talented Airside, one of who’s directors is Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly fame. These ideas were then developed and expanded with...

The album’s cryptic cover art was designed by Tappin Gofton (aka Mark Tappin and Simon Gofton), who created the cover for The Chemical Brothers’, Push the Button. The blocks are the Baudot code-encoding (ITA2, a 5-bit alphanumeric encoding used by telegraphs) of the title of the album, X&Y. (Quoted from the Wiki page)
The CD booklet contains the ITA2-encoded alphabet. But to save time you can use this X&Y code/artwork generator to make your own messages and artwork.
Here’s Sleevage presented in X&Y form.
The final page of the booklet (seen below) contains the slogan “Make Trade Fair”, using the same encoded alphabet. Holding...

Regardless of what Michael has done to himself over the years there’s no doubt the dude can sing and dance. This cover for Dangerous is one of my favs and was also submitted by Elias of A+.
Designed and painted by Mark Ryden, again of Juxtapoz fame. It’s one that would have looked glorious as a 12 inch sleeve. You can look at this for hours and not see everything reviled only by Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club as one of the most intricate covers.
They released a special edition (before the word collectors had become popular) that folded out to become a diorama.
The closed cover was a masked version of the cover (see below)
This was well...
