I just realized that it would be hard to see, posting the album. Here's the front and back, laid out as one.
The front is on the right half.
This is in the inside.
Derek Riggs was their artist, at the time.
This is how he identifies. Ha, ha.
Maybe someone will get that.
I haven't heard most of these but this list is solely for "fractal-type" album covers

Hey folks,
Here are some of my favorites. I'll post a single track from each album so that the album cover artwork displays.

Bjรถrk's 1995 album Post has a colorful portrait of the singer for album cover with slight resemblances to the actual post service. Bjรถrk wears a shirt that looks like a letter envelope.

The image used by Hooverphonic for their 1998 album Blue Wonder Power Milk is actually the interior of the Atomium in Brussels.

My current favorite album artwork might be for the self-titled debut album by the Austrian heavy psych band Ryte. In this artwork, a woolly mammoth gazes menacingly towards the listener amidst billowing smoke, while a pyramid appears to arise from the bubbling swamp below:

Cool thread @Eclipse_31!
I love the visual concepts of albums, especially how artwork from singles building up to a full-length release interact with each other.
One example that comes to mind is Sasha Sloan's 2020 release, Only Child.
Here are the singles in chronological order of release:
1. Lie
https://open.spotify.com/track/04NMWz4ctkuILV6mUR2iWp
2. House With No Mirrors
https://open.spotify.com/track/55vsJO4tLZQ37qzD5QUOmh
3. Is It Just Me?
https://open.spotify.com/track/0Ea93OZ0O50zKius7W3lU7
4. Hypochondriac
https://open.spotify.com/track/3GXQOlfK0oPdsW6Y5ptII6
Compare the above with the unexpected, contrasting colours of the final album art:
