losingit2k Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Apr 7 2012, 08:25 AM) all that matters is the music. the cover and artwork is gravy. But the music usually kicks serious @ss! Even an average (VT) album outshines some of the other bands best albums! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lerxt1990 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 QUOTE (Your_Lion @ Apr 7 2012, 04:59 AM) Is that little guy looking through a telescope? Because at first glance, I thought it was Ian Anderson doing his 'standing on one leg playing a flute' thing. I didnt see that until you mentioned it. Now I think it IS Ian Anderson!

drbirdsong Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/z437/drbirdsong/CaravanSong1.jpg No Ian Anderson, just a guy and his telescope. I downloaded the image and the name of it is "CarvanSong1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Agrees that this is probably the best of the bunch so far. Would make for an incredible gate-fold for a must have vinyl version (if that is the case). It would make it a perfect album for stoners to use to separate out the seeds and stems.

Gilbertk Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Could that be the Watchmaker? Doesn't look very menacing but could it be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 QUOTE (Hatchetaxe&saw @ Apr 7 2012, 03:09 AM) That's the best of the bunch so far. Because it looks like a pro did it, like Hugh Syme. That's great looking artwork. High concept, well executed, does not look like amateur Photoshop work. Very easy to see the difference between what's made by fans and what's made by great artists. Check out this guys work. I hope people can see what Im talking about when I was trashing those other covers people were posting. Those look like Photoshop class projects. This guy Jacques though is a guy who lives in Africa and paints these things for kings and queens. I contacted him a while back. You want one of these custom painted for you and it's going to cost you about 100k. http://jacquesresch.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I think we should all give Snaked a big THANK YOU! for all these amazing pictures he is sharing, real or not (though I'm pretty sure these gotta be real). THANK YOU, Snaked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigershark2112 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Also, I believe this artwork is related to Caravan as if you open it in a new window the link says 'CaravanSong1'. Not exactly sure what it means but it's interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reflected light from the moon is what's illuminating the foreground. A lighting mistake. All are plausible options. It's still a really nice image, though.

USB Connector Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) That is a nice picture. I'm betting it will either be the back cover or the lyrics page for headlong flight. Edited April 7, 2012 by USB Connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make for an incredible gate-fold for a must have vinyl version (if that is the case). It would make it a perfect album for stoners to use to separate out the seeds and stems. Yeah, I was also thinking this could finally be THE album cover, front and back. This would look great on an LP cover or even on a CD booklet. Just trying to figure out where the band name and album title would go, presumably on the right-hand side of the image. Really a beautiful image, reminds me of a cross between Hugh Syme and Roger Dean. But I'm not sure how those airships stay afloat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the images that have been displayed the only one I can see as an actual cover is the one we're calling the Tourbook but without the Signals references. My read on this image is that it's an inside piece/lyric sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what the cover will be but usually it's a little simpler than this. The inside or back images are usually the ones that are more elaborate.
