Hawk Meets Penguin

I really like this one. unfortunately I can't find a bigger pic. it is the original cover of "Hawk Meets Penguin" by the British Amon Düül. the penguin is standing on a kind of mine with a burning fuse attached, and the hawk is about to land on a similar mine. a weird nocturnal scene on a cemetery

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.

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

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.
