Your randomly generated album artworks

Random album artwork
Angus McNab sent in an album sleeve for a record that ended up being called Mental Assimilation by Troy Mills. Judging by the randomly generated black door, this probably isn't an album's worth of twee folk. Original photograph by Ben Jones Photograph: Ben Jones/Flickr

Annemarie van Limpt sent in the sleeve for Estrees-Denecourt's You Must Mourn Yourself First, along with the imaginary description: "Reknowned bass noodle hound Henderson from ex post-rockers Turtle turns his fingers and thumbs to a suite of ambient tracks; odes to the urban and the urbane."

Possible strings in evidence. Something quite Man on Wire about Bryony McIntyre's cover suggests it's worthy contemporary classical. Original photograph by Eyesplash Mikul Photograph: Eyesplash Mikul/Flickr

Iain Smallwood reckons Spider Jerusalem would have made "modernist riot grrrl techno". Which makes us wish we owned a copy of The Woman of my Dreams Knows How To Break Into Systems. Original photograph by Morberg

It started life as an electric hob. Now it's artwork by Ian Bruce for what must surely be clinical German dance music. Original photograph by Matthew Rogers Photograph: Matthew Rogers/Flickr
Random album artwork
Neil Griffiths conjured up Shining Honeycreeper's Struggle in the Snare. We're thinking they tried to rip off Radiohead's sound in 1999 and fell into obscurity. Original photograph by Matthew Dutile Photograph: Matthew Dutile/Flickr

The Glass Bucket Club (created by Patrick Charlton) look like the sort of band who make punky synth-pop from a dingy garage in east London. Original photograph by Kennymatic Photograph: Kennymatic/Flickr
Unifuc
Stevi Moshogianni generated Unifuc's People Need To Be Reminded. Arty, noisy and liable to cause problems with family-friendly record stores. Original photograph by Sarah Sitkin Photograph: Sarah Sitkin/Flickr

Over on guardian.co.uk/music we get sent a lot of records like Puechredon's A Kaleidoscope of New Possibilities. Sadly for creator Will Gates, they're not often very listenable. Original photograph by Florian Seiffert Photograph: Florian Seiffert/Flickr

Eastern european monikers give any album instant authenticity, as does a black and white photo. Thanks to Bobby Roll for this one. Original photograph by virus0r Photograph: Flickr

Daniel Leonard wins the prize for most realistic sleeve, we think. You can almost hear the sophisticated, singer-songwritery goods held within. Original photograph by iulian nistea Photograph: Julian Nistea/Flickr
Random album artwork
Gillian Morris sent in a sleeve for Aix-Noulette's Nothing Is Easy to the Unwilling. Just one problem – it doesn't seem to fit on an album sleeve. Maybe it's a gatefold sleeve. Original photograph by thechannelc Photograph: Flickr

More odd-shaped artwork, this time by James Saunders. Genius title, though. Original photograph by Un ragazzo chiamato Bi Photograph: guardian.co.uk
Random album artwork
No cute animals were harmed during the random generation of this artwork by Mark Flett. Original photograph by Jeroen Krah Photograph: Flickr
Random album artwork
Our final effort, by Rishdi Dastidar, is further proof that a lot of these end up looking like obscure avant-techno albums. Original photograph by Iliasnikon Photograph: Flickr
