The Music Library

Calling all record collectors, esotericists and students of vintage design: this week, we released FUEL's addictive revised and greatly expanded edition of the long out-of-print Music Library, a collection of more than 600 industrial mood music album covers. "To me it feels like a bizarre parallel world, a reflection of the styles and tropes of five hundred years of popular music," writes designer, musician and Ghost Box records proprietor Julian House. "Or like a journey through the mirror, in a sequence from a seventies Hammer film, to a place where nobody knows how to distinguish between the genres: rock, jazz, pop, avant-garde, electronics, baroque, folk… A sidereal arena to the contemporary world of pop chart positionings."
