Well done to all that have posted their designs.I have been both entertained & amused by them.But,this latest one really drew me to it-it has good colour design,atmosphere,the sense of secrecy ect.Plus,in some strange way it even made me like the title(didn't care for Quicksilver when I first saw it-didn't comment as to me would be same as disliking a book title before reading content).MO is really spoiled for choice isn't he?
So much talent out there :D

@ Eeton: nice but... a bit scary. :) Also, it reminds me of an old thing by M.C. Escher.

i agree there's great stuff in here..
wonderful job, eeton.. an eye being an open gate into space. i love how u play with the idea of the biggest and the smallest joining in a point.
imho the only minor fault is on the pink. when enlarged the picture should be a bit more.. blurred maybe, can't explain better. anyway it's not so important, your idea is brilliant.

time ago i posted a comment that never appeared, can't remember what exactly i wrote then, but i'm now repeating how much i like also trinidad's image. it's very pleasant to watch the metal disolving in the fast run. muy buena, sí señor !!

oblique's image is a good example of the amazing textures he usually gets -for those who haven't yet, u should check his site. however, in this one i'd like to see something "swimming" in the liquid.

(hmm.. btw.. how is it going with navigator? i know i know.. we must be patient..)

Yes, the original eye image wasn't detailed enough. But it's only a design, anyhow I wouldn't want to see my eye on an Oldfield cover. :D

I also like all the pictures posted here. My favourite is Navaira's one. Simple but quite effective idea.

I wanted it to cause a "what kind of music could this be?" effect among the people in the stores. Anyway, the second disc will be in the darker moodier vein, won't it? ;)

Gracias, María  :p . I'm thinking about other two more "serious" covers, but I don't have much time right now...

Yeah, that's what I've thought when I've seen it  :O . But it's a very good one. And I really like also Navaira's (mmhh... now that I think, reminds me some scary videogame... People, you're really scaring me!!  :/ ).

it would have been so cool for mike to set a competition up for fans to send in artwork and the winning one gets used, and maybe a day with the man himself and a tour of his studio and a chat or something, it seems that there are loads of fantastic ideas in this community's head, and mike should tap into it a little!   :D   :D

*LOL* - dreaming mode on: just being with him would be perfect ;)

The Tres Lunas cover was created based on an idea from Hans Cleason from the Tubular.net team.Why not now another chance like that?

Hey Ms Belle, not only is that a scary comment, but Fanny has beaten you to it.
