HELLO PROG FANS...!
Progressive music, like other styles of music, is easily identified with the superb images reproduced on the CD covers (i.e., the covers of the booklets). Drawings, sepias, watercolours, photographs… Many of these images are taken from science fiction and fantasy (often including the books of J.R.R. Tolkien), but they all have something in common: they create a dream-like atmosphere. When ‘records’ were still produced on vinyl, the most beautiful album covers were often ‘double’ and, once unfolded, displayed vast frescos of 60 X 30 cm which showed the album’s ‘direction’ even more strongly. Some of these original works are worth fortunes today and are sought by collectors. Reduced to the miserable size of a CD (12 cm), the covers have lost much of their impact, but have nevertheless retained much of their quality and emotional power: groups such as Flower Kings, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic and Dream Theater always include ‘album cover’ images that have a strong capacity to capture the attention of potential future listeners with a simple glance.

 Yes - Ed is a lovely man! and oh so talented. I am honoured to be in contact with such a wonderful artist through myspace. For those who have not seen his myspace page - it is thoroughly recommended that you do! I now know who the artist was for Tangent album covers among others. Cheers -------------

I quite agree. I've also been in contact by Ed on MySpace. He's left a few comments for me, all of which have been very nice. His art is amazing too, especially with this year's The Tangent release, which is his best artwork yet.  -------------
