Not only a good cover, but a great album too.

I like the artwork on Jadis's albums...

I also think that Rush 'Moving Pictures' is clever.

My god i remember when i saw this in the CD store for the first time i think it was like 5 years ago (I dident know anything about prog at the time) and i thought for my self what in hell is that, what whuld the music be like with sush a cover, some weeks later i was reading a music book at the library and then their it was again that fantastic cover and i read about it and then ran away to the cds shop and bought it and was blown away completly the music was yust as good as the cover and beter than i whuld have ever imagined i dident even know that music like this even existed. And that was my first ever prog rock experience, its still one of my albsolute favorite Albums, and King Crimson one of my favorite bands.
