As I remember this was a bit of a rush job as Japan wanted a cover image months before the release so I had to mock something up quickly from the Let Us Play artwork. I chose a picture puzzle with moving pieces to show a reconfiguring on the previous record as these were all remixes mainly.
There was a nice thing with one side of the LP insert where, if you bought the accompanying 10″ and 7″ remixes, you could place them on top to form the image of Matt and Jon. I’m pretty certain this was me ripping off something Trevor Jackson had done with a Fridge 12″ and 7″.

Hexstatic (Hex had been disbanded and partly reborn as Hexstatic after ‘Timber’) remodeled the Matt and Jon figures and helped a lot to make the cover better than I could have done at the time but really this was just a rehash of elements from the graphics generated before.
