Some of my favourite album covers from the Norwegian jazz-rock/avant label Rune Grammofon. Which of these is your favourite? Whether you've heard the album or not is irrelevant, here it's just about the cover art.  Vote away!               -------------

Not a fan of Rune's lazy coverartist at all but I must admit that Scorch Trio album works really well. Looks like a classic 60's jazz cover. -------------

Not a fan at all. Decent at its best. I vote for the Elephant9 cover because I can find some liking for the kaleidoscopic effect yet. -------------

I like Grindstone best but the Grand General cover is not showing up for me Ultralyd, Jono El Grande and El Doom are also nice -------------

Nothing impressive, the Elephant9 is the less anonymous ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

For some reason, I have never seen a Rune Grammofon album art that I found interesting. From the choice given here, the least unimaginative, probably, is the Dodovoodoo, but it's also kind of bland (despite all the colors and shapes). I quite like the Still Life With Eggplants art, but I don't think its Rune Grammofon.

Guess I'm in the minority when I say I like RG cover arts for the most part. But I've always been a fan of geometric shapes and tessellation type things. Tough call for me between Elephant9 & Grand General. Going wit the skull this time. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Man, there's some great cover arts right here. I only have all the Elephant9 albums and the Panzerpappa, my fave is actually Walk The Nile - and the LP is different from the CD. Much better. Of these listed above, I especially love the Neo Dada one. |

Honestly, I find all of them rather dull so no vote from me. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005  |

I don't like any of them, but Ultralyd's Conditions for a Piece of Music is the least uninteresting, followed by Grand General. Definitely not my style. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Voted for Elephant9 's Dodovoodoo. I like equally that Krokofant artwork. Both have a lot of Bauhaus School style of the graphic design what I always loved so much. |

 Not surprisingly, these are rubbing some people the wrong way.Favourites are (in alphabetical (bands) order): Nordheim Transformed, Electric Komle - Live!, Grand General and Melaza, but I, too, will vote for Elephant9's debut's excellent cover. It's simply amazing, as far as i'm concerned! Also, I hope I'm not the only one seeing an elephant in there.

Still love Walk The Nile - those colourful dots......it's often about colours and shapes, very abstract, yet simplistic. Rune Grammofon did well getting Kim H to handle the artwork. |

Again, if I could vote I'd go with El Doom and the born Electric. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |
