(with Peter Curzon and photographer Rupert Truman), who has also produced artwork for such memorable albums as The Division Bell
by Pink Floyd
and Frances the Mute
by The Mars Volta
. The photograph is of a distressed man sitting in a room lit by a bare lightbulb. The walls are covered in hundreds of light switches (the theme of the rest of the album's artwork), with a girl dressed in red seen to be lying, lifeless, in an adjacent and similarly decorated room. The girl in red makes other appearances in the artwork.
The tracks '17', 'Rapt. Dept.' and 'Schteeve' were all released as singles or EP's.
