Who has seen a Progressive Rock Album Cover, or an aspect of one, In real life? Who's been to Abbey Road Studios and seen the crosswalk, who's gone to the Battersea Power Station where the cover for Animals was taken? Who's gone to the Warner Bro's Studio Complex where Wish you were here was taken? Who's seen a mountain, or cloud that you could of Sworn god Stole from Roger Dean? The only occasion I can name is the latter. You? |

Anekdoten´s A time of day is practically a polaroid picture of my back yard. Islands by Crimson is as close to an image from the Hubble telescope as you could ever get - but it is a painting. Måltid by Samla Mammas manna is my grandparents feeding ducks by the local stream. A cover, I hope never to see realised in real life, is Butchered at birth by Cannibal Corpse. Yuk! |

I see Camel's Mirage every time I smoke, and after having consumed excessive quantities of certain substances I have seen something very much like Meddle

Hendon St., London - David Bowie ~ Ziggy Stardust

| @ Dean, Alan Parsons I Robot is Paris Charles De Gaulle (I've been in both Schiphol and CDG). Being from Barcelona I've seen Gaudi's Sagrada Familia many times as well! |

Living in New Orleans......I have eaten, drank, puked very near to many album cover photos in and around the French Quarter. Other than those I'd have to look at my album covers for more-------------

| Been in the Century Plaza Towers - Century City, Calif. - for a deposition (Yes' Going For the One). Walked by them plenty of times on the way to an orthopedist's office. |

Hi,
I must be strange ... that stuff does not turn me on ... seeing the band perform live does!
I feel strange ... so I have to go to Italy to appreciate Michelangelo, to ... to appreciate ... and then back to Portugal to catch Vasco da Gama and my name same Pedro Alvares Cabral at the Monastery of the Geronimos, and my dad buried with so many other Portuguese dignitaries in history ... and the answer to the question for me always was ... that was an idea and a concept ... not the person or the reality. And sometimes, that cover was done just to be cool and have absolutely nothing to do with the music whatsoever. Or the work itself.
Would I like to travel and see Europe other than Lisbon and Porto? ... yeah ... even if just to find out how much of it is still in me ... but for anything else? And say hello to Dean and anyone else in London.
My heart is my home and universe and spirit! Not a place. I liked the covers by Hipgnosis for the image and the "editorial", but otherwise, I have never taken any of those covers that seriously. I don't need to visit the Berlin Wall remains to understand the significance, and you know that from the way I write here. I might like to visit it simply to send a prayer for all those that died fighting for the very freedoms you and I cherish ... but that's where my idol worship stops! ------------- Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about!
