The score references many of the Museums inspirations, which we carried this across into the design of the sleeve. Built around a series of concentric circles and radial forms, the design is influenced by the graphic language and aesthetic that appear across the Museums exhibits.

Surveillance cameras, spacecraft centrifuges, the Voight-Kampff machine, planetary orbits, HAL 9000’s unblinking eye, Space Station V, radar systems and Neo-Tokyo’s expanding psychic explosions all share the same circular geometry, becoming a common thread between each imagined future.⁠

// COVER 01 : SURVEILLANCE

George Lucas’ debut presents a future defined by constant observation. Cameras, public address systems and machine intelligence enforce absolute conformity in THX 1138, presenting technology as an instrument of control rather than progress.

We echoed this in the main cover, with the embracing couple viewed through a Monitoring HUD.

// COVER 02 : DISCOVERY

Stanley Kubrick’s vision of space exploration redefined science fiction through its meticulous design and engineering. Every spacecraft, station and interface was conceived with scientific realism, establishing a visual language that continues to shape depictions of the future.

The Discovery One was designed as a practical deep space ship rather than a conventional rocket. With design reflecting contemporary aerospace thinking of the 1960s. One of the most iconic scenes features the large circular rotating carousel constructed for artificial gravity scenes.

We used this circular shape of Space Station V for the second cover.

// COVER 03 : NEO-TOKYO

Triggered by Tetsuo’s awakening, a vast psychic energy sphere consumes Neo-Tokyo, transforming one of science fiction’s most iconic explosions into a symbol of uncontrollable evolution.

The destruction of Neo-Tokyo remains one of cinema’s most iconic images, a single expanding sphere of light that marks the collapse of an entire civilisation.

We referenced this explosion of psychic energy on cover 3.

// COVER 04 : TEARS IN RAIN

Designed to detect replicants, the Voight-Kampff machine analyses involuntary eye responses to emotionally provocative questions. The absence of empathy reveals their artificial nature.

Symbolising "Windows to the soul" and serving as the core motif for determining humanity, this became our 4th cover.
