My favorite is really the Campbell Bros/Sabbath one, for maximum polar disparity.

I can't take credit for these, really, but Crispy Ambulance are my second fave band in the world, so here goes:

Thank you (belated). It was nothing, a trifle...

Sadly the site that was hosting the Olivia Tremor Control Peel Sessions artwork seems to have got snippy, which kind of ruins the circle I was going for. For those with visual imaginations, it's just like the Cubist Castle cover - but on a black background!. Dig?
