Frank Sinatras In The Wee Small Hours
>All the songs on the album deal with specific themes such as loneliness, introspection, lost love, failed relationships, depression and night-life; as a result, In the Wee Small Hours has been called one of the first concept albums. The cover artwork reflects these themes, portraying Sinatra on an eerie and deserted street awash in blue-tinged street lights.

Kid Koalas Space Cadet
>A 132-page graphic novel drawn entirely on etchboards. It is accompanied by a "still picture score" of music composed and recorded by Kid Koala. This charming story of an adventurous space cadet and her guardian robot touches on the relationship between technology and isolation. The use of etchboards have given Koala’s trademark pathos-drenched tales of love and loneliness a whole new depth and beauty.

Wax Tailors Dusty Rainbow From The Dark
>A concept album telling the story of a young boy's discovery of the evocative power of music, the album includes narrative interludes by Don McCorkindale, who participated in the radio version of The Avengers series. Editing out the storyline is made possible by the inclusion on the album of 2 radio edits for the songs "Heart Stop" and "Time to Go". The album's cover, representing the story's main protagonist, was drawn by French illustrator Rebecca Dautremer.
