'Architecture is frozen music', Wolfgang Goethe is quoted as saying. It turns out that architecture is a major source of inspiration for musicians and composers - from classic and modern composers via jazz and the blues to new wave bands and rappers who sing the praises of the big city. The architect-composer Iannis Xenakis collaborated with Le Corbusier, and it is surely no coincidence that the founders of Kraftwerk and Pink Floyd studied architecture.
Architecture Record Covers brings together the finest, strangest and most remarkable architecture covers. Music is for listening to and does not lend itself to exhibition or description. The album cover visualizes the music on the record. Cover designers have often made use of architectural images, from the New York skyline to Centre Pompidou in Paris. From Antonín Dvo?ák to The White Stripes, from Gaudí to Niemeyer. A striking combination of very diverse musical and architectural genres.
