My fave is the Octopus cover art. I think it's the way he utilises colour in it - specifically red.
Another one is the Lighthouse one, but must admit that I haven't seen the edition of it posted in here. I know it as a greenish art work - and again I do prefer a little colour 
|
I find the use of light in 'Green Tower' (posted before) amazing. It's common to find different colour or light versions of the same RD's paint, I don't know why that is, another example with CTTE

A small break on Dean's original works to post a couple of pics about his house designs, let's move to The Shire

Re : Olias - Jon does thank Roger Dean for 'Planting The Seed'. The 'Moorglade Mover' is definately a variation on Dean's fish designs. It wouldn't have come into being without Dean's inspiration. So, credit where credit's due, I guess.

No, as has been said, Olias is not Dean.

Yes yes yes, I'd completely forgotten about that one!
Beautiful art work:

Not sure if Olias is actually Dean's, sorry for the mistake if it isn't. The pic of Paladin's Charge is coming soon in my next deliveries

I had up to, at least 10 Heep albums, and all the good stuff could've fit onto a 90 minute cassette. I haven't bothered with them for years.
Rooster on the other hand, I never get bored with them. Incidentally, RD did the cover for 'In Hearing Of...' !! Also the artwork of the Ramases album 'Space Hymns'.
Purple, yeah, I have a heap on tape, but I only kept LP's of the first 3 and Made In Japan.
Anyway, I love that 'Lighthouse' cover - I'd like to track an LP of that some day...........

I feel you on Uriah Heep. Used to be massively into them - heck they were my first ever "prog" concert back in 1996 - had a left over telephone signal in my head for about 10 days after too  But as my tastes have evolved, a lot of those dime a dozen hard rock acts from the 70s have lost their initial appeal to me. Heep, Purple, Atomic Rooster and the likes almost never get playing time anymore. I haven't parted with any albums yet though....

I also dig Osibisa's debut, but 'Woyaya' cheezed me off so I ditched that one as well, despite the beautiful artwork. Same goes for those RD Uriah Heep albums - nice covers, not really exciting music (for me, anyway...).

^I don't think I've ever heard it actually, but I remember a friend of mine at one point claiming it one of the best prog albums he had heard. I think he'd heard one previous to it though, IQs Darkmatter

That's the one !! I was sort of right......the music didn't grab me at all - even with Pete Solley playing the keyboards. Gosh, this would've been around the mid-90's, I kept it for a week or two, then ditched it.
