I think they are brilliant pictures but seem too far from the roots of the music to express what Jim seems to be about maybe this could be righted with a more folky font e.g. the gaelic style one used on the webpage

I'm not sure Jim would think the gaelic font is closer to what he is about... There is nothing remotely gaelic or indeed celtic about the music, while there is every connection with the pop culture iconography that the pictures reference.

I think you may have a different idea of what the roots of the music are from what is intended by Jim.

I'm sure all will become clear when we eventually get to hear all Jim's new material (I've heard 'Sweet Rose' and 'Nightvisiting' so far on myspace and am madly in love with both of them) - it's very difficult to discern the appropriacy of an album cover when viewed out of context. But if Jim says it fits then that's all the justification I need!

I want to make a CD just so I can get david and david to do my photography for me. They are absolutely amazing and I never failed to be bowled over by the ingenuity of their work. I'm looking forward to the sleeve art almost as much as the music. Only almost, mind!

Does the middle photo a homage to Captain Scarlet ? Still brill though.

There was a particular photo from the 'Sweet England' shoots that everyone said looked like Captain Scarlet as well. Perhaps when they make it into a film (which they inevitably will) its obvious who they should turn to.
