![The album cover of Chemical Brothers - Surrender
It's a stylized surreal concert in an airplane hanger. With yellow ground in the foreground, a crowd of comprised of a repeated image of several people reclining and the top of the hanger in monochromatic blue. There is a person standing in the front right cover with head thrown back and arms spread in celebration.
A description of the creation of the cover from Wikipedia:
"The album and singles artwork were provided by London-based silkscreen artist and illustrator Kate Gibb, using screen prints of photographs found in the Hulton Picture Library. Gibb also went on to illustrate the Chemical Brothers albums Come with Us, We Are the Night, and Brotherhood. The cover image was a treatment of a photograph called Jesus Amongst the Fans taken by Richard Young at The Great British Music Festival at the Kensington Olympia in 1976. The "Jesus" in question was a music fan called William Jellett, who had adopted the divine moniker and was often seen dancing ecstatically at concerts across the UK from the 1960s to the 1990s. His "miracles" were to give dried fruit and nuts to strangers.[3][4] Ed Simons said of the album cover in Q magazine, "We liked the idea of everyone else sitting down and being chilled out and just one person really getting it, like one of our gigs in the Midwest, actually". The magazine stated, however, in February 1999 the duo were confronted with a novel problem: they had, in Simons' words "about two weeks" to sort out an album cover, plan a live show, and do endless promotional duties in Japan. At one point, the image that was used as the single cover for "Out of Control", released later in 1999, was intended to be the album cover of Surrender."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sqqybtukfkeztajbdoam7wqf/bafkreidsqt36ocgbq63vwh3zlv7m2s4f4fmughfcwqq2vjftpqpmkmdlja)
