Tenth in a series of polls started 8 years ago, involving picking a band and trying to find people's favorite album art of that particular group. Choose your favorite album, based strictly on the album art. These polls are meant for studio albums only, but please feel free to mention your favorite live/ep/comp/etc cover arts as well. This round will feature Elephant9, a Norwegian fusion band with a very particular esthetic in terms of album covers. http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=5014 ------------- 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. |

None are particularly stellar, but I pick Greatest Show On Earth of the bunch. I won't get into any art analysis but to say it best utilizes the various art conventions to overall harmony and interest. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I actually like the general aesthetic they provide. One or two might be a bit average, but a couple I find very captivating. ------------- 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. |

You can stare at their album covers way too long  Dodovoodoo is a cover you can get seriously lost in , so that gets my vote.
