Closer certainly, not sure about Unknown Pleasures - I think part of what makes that cover great is that it tells you nothing about the music other than it will be dark and a bit arty.

Merriweather Post Pavilion. My description of this album, and a lot of AC really, to friends was always “ordered chaos”. The songs are made up of parts that individually have a very regular, programmed, structure. But when put together they collide, beat together, and produce something irregular. This album cover is a fixed pattern, but you stare at it right and it starts moving.
