 Topic: Antelope-Like Cover Arts
Posted: July 29 2010 at 17:02 |
 
Yeah yeah, I know these are antelopes, I just ain't good in english for animal names.
Anyway, the point is that I really like these covers, and they're kind of similar in bleakness or whatever. However, can't say I'm a big fan of the music.
So, which cover-work do you like most?

All good albums. But The Mantle is an absolute masterpiece.

I always end up staring at that Ulver cover.

For me it's between The Mantle and Shadows Of The Sun. I got these records only because of the cover. However, I must go with SOFS: such an enigmatic atmosphere in that artwork.

LOL, I don't have the 4, but I've listened to the 4 because of the cover.

Shadows of the Sun, both for the artwork and the music.

I'll go for Pyramids, though Ulver is close.
I just love those "prisms" or whatever they are that are in the horns. And the landscape is pretty good too.

Ulver, Kayo Dot and Agalloch, in that order. Speaking of art, Gabe, what's with your Duchamp avatar?

Ulver has the best cover here, but I also like the dignity of Agallach's Mantle.

I voted for Kayo Dot, even though I hate the album itself

Ulver's cover is one of the most beautiful album covers ever.
None of the others come close.
