COVER DESIGN

Andrew Beaujon

ET CETERA

The inspiration for the design comes from Peter Saville's design for New Order's "Movement" album on Factory Records, released in 1981 and produced by Martin Hannett. Saville's design was based on a Futurist poster by Fortunato Depero.

The bomb icon on the back of the jacket references the band's "Teenbeat 96 Eggs Exploder" album which was released earlier in the same year as this record.
