  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 was talking about the cover-work not the music...

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. ------------- Les mains, les pieds balancés Sur tant de mers, tant de planchers, Un marin mort, Il dormira - Paul Éluard |

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. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

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