One of a very small number that actually looks to me like a REAL album cover. I would have prefered the title to have a dash between the first two words; just would have made a bit more sense to me. But, I can see it being the other way too. Love the colors, composition, and DOF. 10. (My top favorite in this challenge.)
Death Painted Life consisted entirely of drummers. Leo sang, sometimes, or maybe moaned. It was hard to distinguish any words. Jacklyn, the only female drummer, fell in love with Leo on the night of their first recording. It was raining. They all loved the rain, God's percussion, and a simple joy infused their playing. You can hear it best on track 3, "waterlunge"... but as I was saying, Jacklyn fell in love with Leo that night, the way he closed his eyes when he sang, the way words seemed unimportant to him, the way weather surrounded them both. You can hear her love best on track 5, "wellington" and her drum solo on track 8, "calla halo", is surely nothing other than the sound of her heart about to burst. All her life she had felt invisible and here she was now, a drummer in a group of drummers... who would notice her? who could even hear her? but Leo's gentle vocalese seemed to fill her with presence... was it his presence or her own? she didn't care. There was now some color within her outline. People were looking at her. They could see her!
it turned out Leo was gay. Sorry, Jacklyn. Jacklyn? Where did you go? her name is fading from the liner notes! But I can still hear her holding the songs together, like those things in a leaf that look like veins...
Wow, I love this shot. The high contrast, the incredible detail, that texture of the dessicated leaf and then the surface beneath, the wonderful shapes of the light and shadows, the composition with the leaf and darkness of the background below and the lighter lines of the surface leading away upwards... oh yes. And I like the text position and font too. Yup.
very nice album cover. the text goes great with the background. there's some nice detail in the leaf though some parts are overexposed. very interesting!
ok im back, this is the best. one of only a few that actually look like an album cover rather than a average photograph that has had alphabet spaghetti thrown up on it.
