Description

Hi all! Still busy at the moment and not had time to do any of the usual stuff. But I do have a number of new Endgame CDs to produce artwork for, bits of which have constituted the last few things I've posted. This is a front cover I knocked up this afternoon for an album we're simply calling C as the music came from our 100th recording session! We were thinking of visual puns on the letter C and wanted to incorporate "see" and "sea" together, via an eye and ocean waves. Cliched perhaps, but effective :-) I want to acknowledge use of source images obtained from AdamL1313, kirand04 and rootdesign via the stock.xchng, such a handy website for high resolution stock photography! Many thanks for stopping by and your feedback is always much appreciated :-)

This is a really impressive construction, love the tones and overall feel, brings the feeling of age and agelessness to mind!

A big WOW! from me too Jim! Stunning composition, I really like the bold & deceptivly simple first impression which makes the realisation of depth & beauty within it all the more striking as I take in all the detail. Excellent work, love this ; )

WOW! This is something extraordinary super lol I think you must know how love water, and waterfalls!!! You've used it so imaginatively, so an elegant way. The eye takes my breath away - you did such a brilliant work with this image. See the sea through the C... (sounds a bbit like some Marx brothers' lines...) I'm so happy you had some time to post this image - I love it! :-)

I really love this composition! I don't know what your music is like but this certainly reminds me of something progressive. Excellent!

@Marcus, it's progressive music in the sense that it's very exploratory, but it's a world away from prog rock - King Crimson it ain't ;-)

Actually Nigel, the Zircon Game sessions you joined us on constituted sessions 160 and 161, and we've had a couple more since then - 100 was back in January 2002 ;-)

Oh heck, I was forgetting, you're usually a few years behind release-wise! It still looks good in your discography though ;-)

Yup, 162 was the Extremities, then the sole session for 2005 was 163, a rehearsal we had in late June a week prior to the last gig! We listened back to that only last night actually, some really beautiful passages :-)

Well, what else are you supposed to do if you don't have the means to source such images yourself, especially not in the short time required. Furthermore in the album credits I did acknowledge the fact that I'd had the source images from elsewhere, and provided a link to the stock.xchng.
