From then it was a fairly visceral approach, not much time to over-think and so retains some of that original energy. I wanted the design (and particularly the colours) to be seductive and sensual (touching on sexual?), perhaps even a little tense, a typical relationship between one and another.

The cover is an SEM (Scanned Electron Micrograph) of two blood corpuscles - so graceful and calm, yet with all the passionate, fleshy associations that blood carries and the reverse is an SEM of a broken fingernail, all course and jagged, there’s a narrative if you wish to see one, otherwise they’re opposites of a fashion which come together on occasion."

This album is superb, and the cover is simply a perfect visual interpretation of it...
