This iconic indie album art carries heavy inspiration from a pill box. Its minimalistic design is iconic as it is quite recognisable for every member of the potential audience as everyone has seen a pill box. It looks quite familiar.
It also has connotations of this music being relieving for the listener and, like with every form of medication, could ruin you if you have too much.
The album title being 'Ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space' alongside the album art being inspired by a drug suggests a high. Perhaps the band's music is so good that it would make the listener feel high.
'1 tablet 70 min' again just emphasises the drug theme that this album carries. It is also a subtle way to let the potential audience know the actual duration of the album.
The minimalistic design is appealing for some audience as although it isn't as 'eye-catching' as a typical album art with a picture of the artist on etc, it suggests less is more as people aren't used to seeing album arts with almost nothing special on it and will be drawn to it more. Some audiences feel that music should be literally about the music only and shouldn't host any excessive visual aspects to it as these people may feel that it is just an unnecessary distraction from bad music.
