favorite prog album cover?
Jason E
associated with a music genre. Prog is awash with surreal landscapes,
fantasy and sci-fi themes, spiritual and mythical motifs, abstract
impressionism...much has been written on the prog album cover (eg; Martin,
Smith, Macan, Stamp etc).
I have lots of favourite prog covers, but I think my overall fav is
Greenslade "Time and Tide" -- that four armed green mystic dude playing the
keyboard (I'm sure it's a mellotron!) and holding up comedy/tragedy masks
just seems to capture a certain "Proggy Essence" - bombastic, surrealistic,
very '70's... I always end up smiling whenever I see it (great music too!).
Other favs are Yes "TFTO"and "Classic Yes", Kansas "Point of Know Return",
Steve Hackett "Voyage of the Acolyte", Eloy "Oceans", King Crimson "Young
Person's Guide" and Pallas "The Sentinel" ...I guess surrealism and fantasy
art have always appealed to me.
On the other hand I tend to particularly dislike album covers that just have
a picture of the group, or a boring "clever" photograph (eg; U.K.'s "Danger
Money" with some guy washing his hands).
So, what's your favourite prog cover? Which ones don't you like?

There are some absolute artistic masterpieces among prog album covers.
- That Faust cover with an empty music sheet
- Naked City (i mean the Fellig photo; the drawings are lame)
- "Wish You Were Here"
- Shub-Niggurath's "C'etaient de très grands vents"
- Devil Doll's "Eliogabalus" ("they're the audience, *I* am on the stage")
- Anekdoten's "Nucleus"
- Henry Cow's "Legend"
I for one can't stand all that "gorgeous" but totally superficial artwork
that prog bands seem to be so fond of. Think Roger Dean.

store called Restoration Hardware in Columbus, OH. Anyway, the two albums
that I picked out of my collection to frame where albums that I loved for
both the cover art and music. I picked King Crimson's In the Court of the
Crimson King and Peter Hammill's The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage. In
fact, I have the Hammill album right above my monitor hanging on the wall as
I type this. My wife is afraid of the KC cover, so I had to put it upstairs
by my musical equipment so that she doesn't have to see it :-)
Other album covers I like:
Gentle Giant "Octopus" (Dean cover)
Yes "Relayer"
Genesis "Nursery Cryme"
Marillion "Script for a Jester's Tear"
Banco "Io Sono Nato Libero"
Metamorfosi "Inferno"

I forgot about "Court of the Crimson King" ... absolutely striking! I
actually like the weird moon guy on the inner of the gatefold more than the
screaming guy on the outer. Those sleepy/druggie eyes and crooked teeth!
Truly weird artwork. I heard that the artist committed suicide after
completing this work ... a sad loss of a great talent, but doesn't it make
the images he left even more powerful?
In regards to the Greenslade cover, it is interesting to note that the green
dude is wearing a *sequined* cape and is doing some strange hand signals (a
little like the moon-man on ITCOTCK). And the landscape in the background
quotes heavily from Roger Dean's style. And there are some very Victorian
(English) looking families playing on the beach which reminds me of early
Genesis covers. I guess that's why I like that one so much - it just crams
so many prog icons into one image!
Not prog, but I have always been a fan of Boston "Don't Look Back" cover as
well. And the first Black Sabbath cover is amazing, as is the cover for
"Sabbath Bloody Sabbath".
Worst cover of all time - an obscure late seventies punk band called FU2,
"Depressions" . It has a bland photo of the group snarling and beinng
"tough" (I was given the album by someone who obviously didn't know my
musical tastes!) It has a very funny song on it called "sniffing glue"
however!

Superficial? I think Dean's images influenced the music or at least the lyrics
to a small degree. The series of Yes covers with the planet breaking up, its
pieces drifting through space and eventually (a few albums later) landing
somewhere else to become those unmistakable Dean-like mountains ("mountains
come out of the sky and they stand there."), must surely have helped inspire
the story of Anderson's Olias of Sunhillow. Note that Dean didn't do that
cover, but it is clearly in the Dean school of prog cover design.
Every classic Dean cover I can think of is intimately tied to the music. Man,
where were you?! Granted, his more recent covers have been just pretty, but
Dean is to the look of prog as synths and mellotrons are to the sound. And
that's not even considering how many hundreds of other illustrators he
influenced, including me.
Sorry -- didn't mean to rant at you.

I don't know the answer, but this is probably the one instance where I
preferred something over Dean. That octopus squeezed into a tiny glass jar was
pretty cool. I wish I had kept that lp.
Kevin Ward
> So, what's your favourite prog cover? Which ones don't you like?
Yessongs -- Roger Dean. Probably my first choice. And almost anything else
he's done.
Either Three Friends or the first Gentle Giant album depending on which country
you're from?
Olias of Sunhillow (someone in the Dean School of illustration)
Brain Salad Surgery -- Giger, better known for designing Alien
Living in the Past (possibly the most elegant Tull cover)
Seventh Sojourn. I bought this album thinking, because of the cover, it must
surely be a very weird prog band. I wound up liking the Moodies anyway.
The trilogy of Robin Trower covers that just have a vague 3d shape: Bridge of
Sighs, and I forget the names of the other two.
I *don't* like:
Rock Island, because of the overuse of airbrush which might fit Boston or Z Z
Top, but not Tull
Stormwatch, same reason. Though Tull may be my favorite band, they have
sometimes been shortchanged in their covers.
Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme. Though a lot of people like these, they are a little
too primitive for me, or what we in the states are now calling "outsider" art.
If prog has virtuoso performances then the cover should show a little skill
too. By comparison, Selling England . . . and Trick of the Tail are
masterpieces.
-- Kevin
NigHTs1000
aphrodites child's 666 simple yet cool..just mentionings.. my fav is probably
Matching Mole s/t or KC Lizard
Grassy Sound
Stormwatch is my favorite Tull album cover, as well as one of my favorite
covers by any band. This was the first Tull album I'd ever heard...it was
actually a taped copy. As I absorbed the music, I was filled with a mental
picture. When I saw the cover for the first time, it was the PERFECT visual
to the images I'd conjured up while listening to the album. BTW, Tull are my
favorite band too.

Soft Machine spinoff, formed by Robert Wyatt after leaving SM. So named
because of the French pronunciation of 'Soft Machine' ('machine molle').
Comprised of Wyatt, Phil Miller, Bill MacCormick, Dave Sinclair, and Dave
MacRae. Two bloody great albums: _Matching Mole_ and _Matching Mole's
Little Red Record_, plus a live BBC release. 'New' archival release due
any minute now on Cuneiform Records. This is early-seventies Canterbury

too slick, polished, airbrushed. Made it look like they were trying to be an
AOR band, and perhaps they were. Yet I also whined that early Genesis covers
weren't slick enough. Guess I'm pretty picky!
Stormwatch is a great album, though. It's about the only Tull I don't have on
CD and now it's OOP I think. I don't have "A" either. I miss them.
Grassy Sound
band's most adventurous albums. I happen to think it's one of Tull's most
consistent as well. You can probably find both at

Yeah, and even more polished airbrush is sucky if it's used without
imagination. Starcastle S/T comes to mind. It's like what happens when a
pop act uses synths. Synth pop is annoying to me. Air-crutch is
annoying.
In fairness, though, Misplaced Childhood (by the same artist as Script, is
a little better). I give him the benefit of the doubt and wonder if he
was art directed to death. Sometimes an art director will make you change
something again and again until you're sick of it and then the deadline
looms, and they settle for whatever crap you've produced on no sleep.

>Klaus Schulze -- "Cyborg"
Which version? The original or the Urs Amman reissue version. With the
popularity of _Blackdance_ and _Timewind_, Urs Amman's artwork became something
of a trademark, and Schulze's earlier albums were reissued with new artwork by
him. In fact, _Picture Music_ had no less than three covers, the rare original
(which was odd, but cool, and can be seen on the Tommy Progressive site), the
Urs Amman reissue (now seen on the Spalax CD) and the Rock On Brain cheapie
reissue art (the picture of the little girl in the sand, this was on most of
the quickie reissues since, oddly enough). What was the deal with the whole
Rock On Brain series, anyway, what with the retitling albums and giving them
tacky, ugly new cover art? Budget reissues, I think I answered my own question.

a stolen review from GEPR
Locanda delle Fate, Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu, Polydor, 77, Italy
Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Piu' may be one of the best progressive albums recorded. A seven piece - complete with dual guitars and dual keyboards, that takes the best from all of the best progressive bands - most notably PFM, Pink Floyd, and Yes - sounds nothing like any of them, yet is consistently one of the most beautifully crafted albums ever, rivalling any of the progressive greats. If it weren't for peoples attitudes to foreign lyrics, this could have been listed with the recognized classics of the genre. It is of equal stature.
Weezlcheez
progressive was just rock music to me, I bought the album for the cover along.
