Quote (Bill Bobaggins @ Sep. 10 2005, 19:17) | Blue = peace, tranquility. Orange = stimulation, energy. Perfect color choices from the concept of this album. |
Interestingly, I think the feelings-and-colours association is the other way around. After all, orange = sun = light = peace, and blue = night = shade = unsettlement.
But actually, I had thought of that orange/blue dichotomy a long time ago, when I "designed" the imaginary LP of my own Musics For Highways, and used orange on side A (the day half) and purpleish blue on side B (the night half). Unfortunately, I don't think I have the pics anymore so I can't PROVE that to ya, and I'll sound like some bastard imposter trying to steal Mike's thunder.
Boy, I am conceited.
Like I said somewhere else, the "lake" picture with the contradictory night reflecting the day is quite brilliant. If it were used as the actual cover, it would quite possibly be the greatest Mike Oldfield cover of all time.
PS: So that "tube" thing is actually official? I thought it was a Photoshop joke!
