Derek Jarman sustained his film career with regular music promo commissions (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/2012\/02\/04\/derek-jarmans-music-videos\/\">this earlier post<\/a>) but he never produced any album covers as such. What you have here are music releases which happen to feature his artwork or stills from his films. One thing I like about these cover art posts is the disparate music lists they create; the process of investigation also turns up surprises such as a Jayne County album for which he supplied the lettering.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"coil.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/coil.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>How To Destroy Angels (1992) by Coil.

Towering Inferno were Richard Wolfson and Andy Saunders, who on this album are joined by a large cast of musicians including well-known names such as M\u00e1rta Sebesty\u00e9n, Jocelyn Pook, Elton Dean, Chris Cutler, and others. The album is described as &#8220;a dream history of Europe in the wake of the Holocaust&#8221;, and received great praise on its release although I wonder how often anyone listens to it today. Beautiful pieces of music spoiled throughout by surprisingly hamfisted use of vocal samples.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"total.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.johncoulthart.com\/feuilleton\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/total.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Total Volume 2 \u2013 The Body (1993) by Various Artists.
