Discography Tube Map Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gift for R.E.M. fans who think of them as four men from Athens, Georgia, because this runs the whole catalogue with every credited musician as their own line. They already own the records, and the guest list is far stranger than they remember.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper, textured matte, archival and acid-free. Produced unframed or framed. Deeply researched and designed by me in East Sussex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI plot these in CAD software. Every credited musician becomes a transit line, every album becomes a station, and anyone who appears only once gets a branch line of their own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe stations run chronologically from Murmur (1983) to Collapse into Now (2011).

What surrounds it is far from simple, and that contrast is the whole reason this one works as a picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rapper, a Led Zeppelin bassist, a Sonic Youth guitarist and the band's own manager all have stations here. It rewards every closer look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContributing musicians on the map\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe run unbroken from Murmur to Collapse into Now. Bill Berry's drums stop after New Adventures in Hi-Fi in 1996, and the map narrows from four lines to three for everything after it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReckoning holds the most unlikely credits in the catalogue. Jefferson Holt, the band's manager, takes lead vocals on Wind Out, and Bertis Downs, their lawyer, sings backing vocals on the same track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOut of Time is where the map suddenly widens, pulling in a full string section, Kate Pierson of the B-52's duetting on Shiny Happy People and Me in Honey, and KRS-One rapping on Radio Song.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin arranged the orchestra on Automatic for the People, including Everybody Hurts and Nightswimming. It is one of the shortest and least expected lines on the print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonster brings in Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth on Crush with Eyeliner, with Michael Stipe's sister Lynda and Rain Phoenix singing on Bang and Blame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatti Smith has two stations fifteen years apart: New Adventures in Hi-Fi and Blue. The final album adds Eddie Vedder, Peaches and Lenny Kaye, while Q-Tip raps on The Outsiders from Around the Sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScott McCaughey is the longest-serving outsider, running across the last six albums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do I make each print?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach one is a Giclée on 230gsm premium fine art paper with a textured matte finish, archival and acid-free, so the colours hold for years.
