ex member 178 Group: Members Posts: 251 Joined: Oct. 2010 Posted: Feb. 14 2011, 12:57 I've always wanted to know what the 'rock' behind Mike is on the cover of Voyager. This is probably my favourite MO album ... well "Songs Of Distant Earth" could come joint top. Please help I can't sleep at night!!! Back to top

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Feb. 14 2011, 13:59 I'd always assumed it was Mont St Michel (access by tidal causeway off the coast of Normandy, France) since that was a track on the album. However I just had a look at some piccies of Mont St Michel (e.g. the one below) and the topography doesn't look right, also I don't see the spires of Mont St Michel in the Voyager photo. Anyone got any ideas? -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top
