It gets better (Floyd cover):
Responding via email, Eldin described the inspiration behind his design: “Thinking about life and nature and what is beyond the world of charming factors we have never seen is enough to create millions of different amazing feelings.”“First, I draw a sketch for what is in my mind, then I start to simulate the sketch and the idea with real images, and that’s called photo manipulation.”
“First, I draw a sketch for what is in my mind, then I start to simulate the sketch and the idea with real images, and that’s called photo manipulation.”
I just heard Aubrey Powell Pinks long time "style director" describe choosing that cover like he'd found an uncovered Da Vinci

i suppose there are a few similarities between it and the cover of atom heart mother - lack of text, a dreamy pastoral sort of scene, horizon bisecting the image... i reckon if you superimposed the two and shifted AHM slightly to the right, it would look just like the guy in the boat was sticking his paddle up the cow's bumhole - surely a great metaphor for the new record?

Dream Theater cover makes the Pink Floyd look like an instant classic
also, did Tobacco do the Gazelle Twin cover? if not that's a pretty blatant take on his thang, innit?

Yes, Tuomas unfortunately it does! In their defense the album is meant as a vinyl only release and you'll only find a CD version in Europe. But, yeah the vinyl wear is obnoxious. The overall vinyl art is good ignoring that detail
