This is the artwork painted by Bernard Xolotl for his album 'Last wave' released in 1982. I don't know anything by this artist but Philippe could probably enlighten me on his music. However, you have to admit that it's one of the most beautiful cover ever painted for a progressive album.

Dynamite album though!!! and not that bad a cover .

And for once I agree with NJnetFan, this must be my fave along with Caravan's Grey and Pink

That would make a good album cover for Opeth... the only thing you have to do is take the penguin out, and put some woman crying, perhaps.

Maybe you're too young to know this but on those days we had a
milirtary Government, so the curfews were very comon (The
translation for curfew is TOQUE de queda).
So people made parties that started at the time the curfew
started (11:00 pm normally) and ended at 6 am when the limitation
was over was ove, so it was called "De toque a toque (From start
of curfew to end of curfew).
All mediocre artists like this guy (Well, his music is infamous)
made long songs that were a kind of medleys so people could dance for
20 minutes, so they used the word TOQUE all the time. |
Thx Iván for the information. Very interesting. I couldn´t figured that out myself (I´am only 21  )

Also, as you can see, in all his albums the word "toque" appears (wich
means touch). Every single album title has the word touch, it is like
his special touch  . Rulli´s touch, Andean Touch, from touch to touch etc.
Againm not very original huh?

Lol, he was pretty famous back in the late 60´s and seventies. But no
one really really remember him this days (I mean young people of
course).
I think his last studio album was released on 1991. Do people still listen to new wave???
Here are some of rulli rendo´s album covers. Just for you ClemofNazareth!!! LOL
 do you want a piece? what´s with all the butts???  he is really cool!
