The album cover features the artists on the front which is conventional as it associates the particular artist with the album.The background is quite dark and artistic which links in with the genre as drum and bass is quite an underground, dark genre. There is also a speaker abstractly placed at the top of the cover which directly links with the genre as typically drum and bass would be played from a large sound system.
The album name and artist is also displayed in the centre of the image which draws all the attention to it. It is also in a bright red colour font which contrasts with the dark background therefore making it stand out.

This CD cover follows various conventions and is typical of the genre. First of all we can see the artist himself, Andy C right in the centre of the cd cover to give an identity to the artist and let people see the artist of the music they're buying. The mise-en-scene in the image makes it feel quite modern and posh with the buildings in the background and the artist with headphones on. As the genre is drum and bass it is promoting quite a modern and technological feel, and the colours and font of the text link in with that to create an overall alien/robotic feel.
This back of the CD cover contains all the information you would expect such as the song titles and the artists involved in each track on the album. It also continues the modern theme with the buildings/skyline wrapping round from the front. Furthermore we can also see the album name and artist, as well as the record label RAM Records displayed in a larger font at the bottom.
This CD cover is quite dark and mysterious which is done purposely to link in with the genre. Drum and bass is known to be quite an underground niche genre and therefore quite warped and twisted with the kinds of sounds used to create the music. The Prodigy are a prime example of this and therefore use covers like this to highlight how warped their music is. The colours are also dark with fluorescent green slime. The font is very futuristic like seen in the over CD covers I have analysed.
The themes from the front are carried onto the back but are altered slightly to make the content more visible. Unlike many other backs of CD covers this one is made to be quite abstract, there is no information on the back apart from the track name again placed irregularly and in a very intrusive font. There is also small text with assumedly the record label information and dates which is conventional of the back.
