This bit of motion graphics magic is a fun way to spend the next 150 seconds. It comes from the folks at Curious Pictures and takes dozens of famous album covers, most of them from the '70s and '80s and most of them rocking, and has them duke it out in a narrative that includes everyone from the Beatles to Duran Duran to 50 Cent and features Iron Maiden killing one of the members of Night Ranger (specifically the one dressed as a surgeon on their Midnight Madness cover) before everyone dies and ends up buried on the cover of Master of Puppets.

 

 

It's good, clean, clever and creative fun and I can't recommend it highly enough. For more background info, head over to Motionographer who especially liked the Rolling Stones-Velvet Undergound-Pink Floyd sequence. Who knew the laser beam from the Dark Side of the Moon cover actually originated from Mick Jagger's trouser snake? Watch the clip, you'll see what I'm on about.

 

Many thanks to my friend Jeff at And I am Not Lying, for Real for the head's up on this one.
