the nextmen - this was supposed to be the future

The concept for the album artwork was based around a typical vision of the future. All the things that as children we expected to see as adults, but which never materialized.

We commissioned Brighton based illustrator Alex Young to create the one-off illustration that features on the 12” LP & CD. The three 12” singles used a quarter of the illustration each which, when laid out with the back of the 12” LP, created a full size version of the illustration. The 12” single “Let It Roll” was nominated in ‘Art Vinyl’s Record Sleeve Of The Year 2007’ shortlist, where it came 3rd and gained nationwide recognition from the press.
