I can't understand what's going on.

Oh Lord, this band will never be the same to me after seeing this...
"The Hall of Floaters in the Sky" and "Time Robber" had pretty good cover artworks though


And it's a great album actually! One of their best. The title (Csillagok útján) means "through the stars" so they are probably posing for space travellers on the cover I guess.

I don't see anything good or bad about it or more importantly.. anything of interest IN it.

Not scary... not tasteless.. not shocking..... not anything really?

i find it calming .. the kind of cover a band uses when they don't need flash to sell the album.
i'm a big fan of texture and muted colour used like this .. simple elegance

*cough* Love Beach *cough*

Other then that obvious choice, my other two picks must go to...

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut
 
^I mean seriously, that was the best they could do?

And:
Doesn't help that I can't really call this album 'music'.

yep almost as bad as this. LOL

Hi,
 
Not posting it ... but the winner would have to be Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's Ad Nauseum .... might be listed under Derek and Clive ... and it is very progressive stuff ... music that is above the norm and comedy above the norm!
 
Comedy? Dean, do these folks know anything about Derek and Clive?


Edited by moshkito - January 30 2015 at 12:28
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

On the subject of comedy, I believe the Monty Python guys should be considered to be prog.  Sketches that link into each other instead of having a punchline ending, surreal imagery, concept albums & films, songs featuring vikings and space, and being quoted onstage by Jethro Tull. LOL

Well... Miriodor is a cool band and I the the music itself in Mekano is great but they really could have chosen a better cover. Ouch
