Looks like you can see the cover of "The Fountain" on Amazon.com:

I like it.

The colour scheme is a bit Nazi. :wink:

Kind of late 70s/early 80s retro, more than Nazi. I like it. If that was on prominent display in a record store, without knowing who it was by, I would want to pick it up and have a look.

Like the Open golf trophy?

The solid colors does make it look like pretty retro, I'd say more 60's/70's than early 80's, looks almost like a Belle and Sebastian album cover. It's about 1,000 times better than the Flowers and Siberia album covers. Which album cover is worse, Flowers or Siberia? Both horrible in different ways.

That's the Amazon US import price. Don't pay that price when you can order it directly from the UK or even from Amazon UK.

I'm hoping it's to be released in the US too.

iTunes for me. I used to be hardcore against buyingmusic online but I've whored myself out to the man for the 1378th time.

That cover is good, its VERY C86, I thought it looks like a Creation record, say an early Bodines or Vaselines single...

The cover to Think I Need It Too.

Oh dear. Reminds me of Glen and Chris, or Renee and Renate

It does kind of.

Makes me proud of my recent Ocan Rein Live/Ocan Rein in Space cover concepts, and I'm not even a graphic designer.

I know a bit about art and design and think the cover art is cool-a great improvement on recent efforts. Perhaps the next time they can even put a cool tune inside. Well it's a start I suppose.
