Off the top of my head…

5) Charlie Mingus - Mingus Ah Um

7) Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

10) Herbie Hancock - Headhunters 

11) Bob Marley & the Wailers - No idea?

12) Soul to Soul - Club Classics Vol 1

16) The Clash - The Clash

[Broark]

13: Flaming Lips: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
17: The Internet: Hive Mind
20: Shabazz Palaces: Quazars Born on a Gangster Star

[Double 0 Soul]

Correct so far (The Wailers Burnin)

Ah Um and Quazars were 2 of the hard ones.. kudos both!

[Thanks_M8]

6. Idris muhammad - turn this motha out

[Double 0 Soul]

Yes^ .. well done! another one of the hard ones

[Maynard Friedman]

8. The Steve Miller Band (helped by Google without an image search though!).

[Double 0 Soul]

Yes!

You can only have half a point though

[Maynard Friedman]

Thank you kind sir!

15 looks like it should be a United Future Organisation but I have 5 of them (which I think is the lot) and it isn’t any of them…

[Double 0 Soul]

You're very close.. they're a lot more mainstream than UFO

I'll give you a clue.. The album didn't get released outside JP because the samples were never cleared.

Here are their other albums.. do any of these ring a bell?

 

[Maynard Friedman]

Aqua? 🤣

[jeash90]

Some half answers:

2) Some IDM collection from Warp Records, I think it has AI in the title

15) I think the artist is Cornelius (or whatever his band was before solo), but could be wrong

[Double 0 Soul]

2) Artificial Intelligence... Correct!

15) You're right.. well done! The band was Flipper's Guitar

Half answers are more than good enough.. i'm not interested in specifics, just whether you can identify the album cover..

It was easy back when we all had tangible media

I'm surprised 9- & 14- haven't gone

I'll post the answers.. 8pm GMT

[Maynard Friedman]

If we’re accepting half answers, then (14) looks like it could be Roots Manuva but I’ve no idea what the album could be called.

Nice, I really like "Sleep Machine" off the Flipper's guitar one. I'm not sure on all the details, but it sounds like Cornelius did some pretty rough stuff in his past and there is a lot of controversy there.

Warp is a great label, though. I'm not familiar with many artists on that comp besides Autechere, but I think my favorite artist they released for is Broadcast!

@jeash90 Broadcast is high tier, but surely no one outranks Boards of Canada

[ATWM]

^ not sure I’ve ever agreed with anything more than the above statement.

I'm late to the game on them! I have Music Has the Right to Children on vinyl and really like it, I will have to investigate more!

Angie Stone RIP.  Only 63.  Car crash.  Poor thing.  What a writer, what a voice.

RIP to one of the greats
