There wasn't really ever one specific thing for me, I've just always loved album art as long as I can remember. As a little kid in the early 80s I was fascinated by gatefold artwork on albums my older brother owned like Close to the Edge by Yes or The Wall by Pink Floyd. As a teenager in the early 90s I was a huge electro-industrial fan and loved the art of Wax Trax and Mute bands like KMFDM, Die Warzau and Nitzer Ebb. When I was majoring in graphic design in the late 90s I found myself loving a lot of electronica artwork, especially from labels like Ninja Tune and Instinct. In the past 10 years or so I've found myself getting more into older album artwork, especially jazz from the 50s and 60s, but I love a lot of current album art too. The album whose artwork I remember being impressed by most recently was Burial's "Untrue" which I downloaded just the other day. It's one of those albums where I really may have to buy a hard copy because I liked the artwork so much.
