Not only an amazing cover, which he designed himself, but also one of my favorite albums of all time. Probably my favorite rock album ever, hands down.

I'm not trying to impress anybody. The covers I posted are covers that I personally think are well done and are impactful to myself.. whether or not they're meaningful or meaningless to other posters on this forum was one of the last things on my mind.

..that's assuming you were referring to the cover(s) I posted, anyway.

Artist please?

The cover was painted by the lead vocalist/keyboardist on that album, Monika Edvardsen. She has the most unique female voice I have heard.

^ Cool, she sounds/looks like a talented person. That cover has nice eye movment and framing. I'm impressed; would like to see the painting in person.

Thanks!

good point. it's interesting how differing artwork applies (in most cases) to certain genres. i used to walk into record shops & spot things from a fair distance that appeal to me visually, not knowing what the music would sound like. turns out it was exactly my kind of music... that artwork would usually be along the lines of the designers republic (i like electronics). one or two of theirs are in this thread i see.
