Redesigned record sleeve for 'The Queen Is Dead' by Hellovon

[Maurice E]

Read an article about this in one of the free London newspapers last night. Can't find a link to the article but here's a link to the actual redesigned sleeve; http://www.flickr.com/photos/becks-music-inspired-art/3729083669/

"Reaching the final artwork for my redesign of The Smiths seminal “The Queen is Dead” was a lengthy, and somewhat ruthless, process of distillation through which I tried to capture what I consider to be the essence of an album which is funny, ferocious and heart breaking - a sense of romance, fragility, beauty and preservation within an image that was bold and iconic."

This is actually rather beautiful, although not as beautiful as Alain Delon, obviously...

I searched both sites 'Hellovon' and 'Beck's music inspired art', but their search only give Lady Hawk.

That Queen Is Dead sleeve may be a bit pretty...but it does not fit at all with the sound of the album, or The Smiths for that reason. It's more like an Electro type album...

Thumbs down.
