Re: New Album Cover?
Hm, the cover is ok, I kind of like it...kind of simple, but good.
For me the cover's very important in a cd...honestly..I can't stand good cds with shitty covers...
Elements Pt.2 has one of the best covers I have ever seen.

Re: New Album Cover?
Strato's best covers in my opinion are Fright Night, Visions, Destiny, Infinite and Elements pt.2. Twilight Time's cover is boring, Dreamspace's odd, Fourth Dimension's very good but something is missing, Episode's very good also, Elements pt.1 cover is boring and Intermission's cover is OK. Visions of Europe's cover is good too.
But the best album cover is Infinite. It's looks like freedom (and btw Infinite is the happiest album of strato
). Visions cover is the second.

Re: New Album Cover?
On another note I think it would be great to see an album cover done by Mattias Noren from progart.com. The covers he makes are by far the best out there IMO. I just relized that he did one of Koltipelto's covers. But he has to to be one of the best graphic artists out there.

Hö, I think it´s the greatest cosmic cover of them all. It´s not too difficult, but it´s quite a real. So, I find it very great. The new looks very refreshing and I have to say that really kicks ass.Stratofanius wrote: Twilight Time's cover is boring.

Re: New Album Cover?
That new cover is actually very cool - and simple.
I like it... as I like the album also... damn, it should be out sooner!

Re: New Album Cover?
By the way, I read from the album booklet that the cover of the new album is made by Mattias Noren for ProgArt. > The same guy who made the Kotipelto´s Coldness-covers!

Re: New Album Cover?
Why not to keep giving this honour to mr. Derek Riggs?
Why to change the cover designer?
He made so GREAT covers for Infinite, Elements and even IWTMOS ep!
Derek Riggs had the perfect ink for Stratovarius concept.
I still like this new concept, but I'll miss Derek Riggs. I will!

Ehm, are you some kind of ironic or what? Of course this is the real cover.Oblomov wrote:Yes...Beast_Pete wrote:Errr, you mean, that this is not the new cover?
By the way, why you have to use bolded colored text? It may harm reading the forum.

i think he wants to know why you can use different colors in this forum, though they are "forbidden"..IceBreaker wrote:The colour should be: Black or if not, then nothing (no postings at all).Oblomov wrote: The Nonsence. A for what in your opinion these colour? Simply so?
