    the cover of unknown pleasures is one of my favourites. joy division gave peter saville the image - it was out of a turn of the century encyclopaedia, a sonic scan of the moon or something, i can't remember - they have the original reference at the Peter Saville show if it is still on in manchester?

    That encyclopaedia must have been the inspiration behind the 1979 Alien graphics of the navigation interface when they are landing the ship as well, i thought that's where he'd got it from till i went to the PS show.
