"BRILLIANT SERIES.." Simon Rogers, Musician & Producer - The Fall
How to Read One of My Music Maps
Every credited musician is a line. Every studio album is a station. Follow one line, and you follow one musician through the whole story - band members, session players and guest musicians included. Branch lines mark the one-off contributors who appeared on a single record.
This close-up is from my discography map of The Fall: Steve Hanley's bass line and Craig Scanlon's guitar line run 17 albums together, from Live at the Witch Trials (1979) to Levitate (1997) - the longest sideman backbones in the catalogue.

Music Map FAQs
"VERY COOL AND SMART.." Dr Susan Rogers, Prince's Producer
Everything you need to know about how I research and design discography and film plot tube maps, how to read them, what goes into each one, and how to order.
What are Mike Bell's maps?
Considered gifts for fans: deeply researched tube map art prints that trace a musician's or film's story with the structural logic of Harry Beck's London Underground diagram. Lines are credited musicians or characters, stations are albums or plot points. Prints are held in the V&A David Bowie Centre and the Bruce Springsteen Archives. Browse Music Maps and Film Plot Maps.
Who designs the tube maps?
I'm Mike Bell, a UK designer and researcher working from East Sussex. My maps are endorsed by Billy Bragg, Warren Ellis, Simon Rogers of The Fall and Dr Susan Rogers, Prince's producer. Read more on the design process page.
How do the tube maps work?
- Lines - musicians, session players or characters
- Stations - albums or key plot points
- Branch lines - one-off contributors
Every line is verified from liner notes, session credits and trusted film sources.
What formats make the best gifts for fans?
A2 and A1 Giclée prints on 230gsm archival paper, with wood frame options. Prices start from £42. Browse all wall art prints or the full print specifications.
