MUSIC MAPS U - Z

The final section of the Mike Bell Music Maps collection brings together artists whose names fall between U and Z, uniting an extraordinary range of sounds, styles, and stories. Each map visualises the complete studio journey of its featured artist, from debut recordings to late-career milestones.

Every piece is built from verified data: album credits, studio sessions, and musician line-ups drawn from official sources and archives. The result is a series of detailed, data-driven artworks that reveal how each musician’s sound evolved, who they collaborated with, and how their creative paths intertwined over time.

Designed in a distinctive transit-map style, these prints make complex discographies clear, engaging, and collectable. They’re as informative as they are beautiful, offering both a visual guide to music history and a trusted record of artistic legacy.

Each Music Map in this collection is a fusion of research, design precision, and passion for storytelling, perfect for fans, collectors, and anyone who loves to see how music connects.

EVERY MUSIC MAP, FILM PLOT MAP & MORE BY MIKE BELL

I'm a designer based in Lewes, East Sussex, who shifted from show and event design to creating unique tube-style maps during lockdown.

My maps transform complex stories into visually engaging journeys. Whether charting a band's history (like my sixteen-attempt odyssey mapping The Fall's chaotic line-ups), exploring film plots, or diving into other cultural narratives, each map distils intricate information into something beautiful and easy to follow.

My music research is unique in that it brings together information from scattered and often overlooked sources—details that have never been compiled in one place before. Read more here.
