It's an interesting coincidence that I've just finished reviewing Metronomicon, and now I find it mentioned here ... Anyway, my favourite of these is Arpia's Racconto d'Inverno - a stunning cover for an equally stunning album - with Metronomicon as a runner-up.

There's not a single album of this poll I have ever listened to so far (except I have Transatlantic and Jupiter Society on my back list), but I think Gianluca Grasso "Vortex" looks the nicest. |

None of these is my kind of cover.
My favourite would be Digital Ghosts, but then again.... ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

Ubi Major followed by Siddhartha...UM's album cover makes me think of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

The Italian Progawards are a bunch of crap if these are the best covers they've found this year. Where is Crack the Skye? That's a fantastic cover!
Out of this list I voted Spleen Arcana. -------------

The Siddharta one is pretty neat, but the Counter World Experience seems so perfectly balanced and constructed. Sure, it's pretty simple, but I like the feel of it. Never heard of them, though.

| I've only heard the Transatlantic one from this list, which is pretty crazy! From this list, I vote for vortex. Other albums that have had album art I enjoyed a lot include Nemo - Barbares, Astra - The Weirding (would have got my vote if it was here), Mono - Hymn to the Immortal Wind, Wobbler - Afterglow, Beardfish - Destined Solitaire, and Deluge Grander - The Form of the Good. |

Siddhartha, and it has the music to match i might add. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Wow, finally an album cover I like! Vote for SIDDHARTA "Trip To Innerself".
Is it me or are the album covers getting waaay too pretensious? Where are those simple and clever ones I enjoy so much?

Metronomican, the rest of them are pretty bog standard, lifeless covers. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005
