album covers that look like hideous screensavers

came here to post Herbie Hancocks an album cover for any of the Bill Laswell era releases, but looks like i was beaten to the post.

I like a lot of the Kleenex Girl Wonder art but it does often have that 'designed by Ryan Trecartin' look

The ones I didn't post are still highly appropriate for the thread imo

and going way back to the start of the thread, A Kind of Magic is great for this because the first computer I ever owned was a Windows 95 or 98 given to be my dad's friend who was chucking it out and was a big Queen fan and the desktop background was the stretched A Kind of Magic cover with a 20-second sample of the song every time I booted it.

I'm actually surprised I've found a relevant place to bring it up after 18 years

nearly forgot

maybe some crossover with this thread, who knows how many image links are still alive there

itt: post pictures of record covers w/ abstract or future or digital landscapes

I feel like it's not just Jollification that counts for the Lightning Seeds but basically any of their original albums

The Beautiful South's painting aesthetic is different to the screensaver schtick imo but I always associate this one with Jollification and vice versa, so..

looks like this one didn't embed properly upthread so re-posting and hoping it works now

also think this Residents cover fits close enough . . .

These are superb. Proper lol at "Windows maker"

The OMD one brought back some flashbacks of university lectures...
