I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart

We're not ready to reveal the art just yet, though the cover is actually done. But it won't be Roger, rather a very cool photographer from Poland.Bnielsen wrote:Just curious if this might have another Digi-pack case, and artwork by a certain British artist? =p
Even people not impressed by TIS's music LOVED the case and artwork.

Read the book in less than a week! Very good!It has several great quotes and ideas that will work well when expounded upon on the album. My question is:Is this the first and onlly rock album lyrically centered around mountain-climbing?If not what is or was? it's the only one I can think off-except for the song SSOTS of course-but the only CONCEPT album built around it I can think off. What a great un-tapped resource. The book is really pretty easy reading-just kinda hard to keep up with alot of the characters(different climbers,different expeditions,groups at the same time in '96)Very gut-wrenching at times.I most of all came away with an awe and mystery about what really motivates these people to do this(some over and over)-esp. when they never do make it to the top, and when they pass dead bodies along the way. I get the sense that it sure wasn't worth it to the author!
