Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Ozrics' music with a passion, but the artowrk has never impressed me. I always feel like I'm entering Dr. Seuss ville when I look at one of their covers. The concpets of the art are kinda cool, though. I've always really liked the concpet of the Jurassic Shift cover art. If only they had a miore capable painter to pull them off . . . You seem to refer to the way the faces are painted. However, these faces are actually hands made into a fist with the thumb buckling at the top, the pointer stretched out and the little finger not quite closed; the middle and ring finger form the lips. Which is why these faces look so odd.   Hmm, interesting. I never knew that before.   Like I said, though: the concept or 'idea' of the art isn't the problem, I just don't care much for the style. The odd faces are hardly what I am talking about. The colors are dull, the edges of things look muddy and ugly, like what a kid would draw. To me. I know that alot of people like this style, but to me it's not appealing. I can appreciate the style, however, but I just don't like it. Personally.   But seriousely, that is very interesting about the faces. Learn something new every day, I guess.

have kids and you do know . we took it from a book called "Easy Games for Little Kids", in which the similarity of hands and faces is described

Here are some of my new faves:

IMO Roger Dean's best cover work.


Another of Roger's best works.


A new fave. Love that man playing the violin, lovely. I love that wave of neo prog covers with the same style.


I've been in Genesis lately, so this is a fave of mine alongside the cover that IMO describes perfectly the music.


Dunno why, but always feel the same atraction as Meddle's one.


Marvellous idea


Love the drawings and colours.


Lovely medieval cover work.


Spacey


Veryyyy Spaceyyyy

Honourable mentions: Relayer, Fragile, Tales, Magician's Birthday, Octopus(Dean's), In a Glass House, DSOTM, Animals, Atom Heart Mother, Obscured by Clouds, Wish you were here, Momentary Lapse of Reason, Division Bell, Lamb, Foxtrot, Trespass, A Place in the Queue, The Music that Dies Alone, In Rock, Fireball, Book of Taliesyn, Led Zep I, IV, Quadrophenia, Stormbringer, Crime, Crisis, Even in the Quitest, Leftoverture, Desatormentandonos, Osibisa, Budgie, Court, and some many others..

Of course Meddle is always a fave of mine, but the above are new ones.

I'll be a bit chauvinist here...
