this is an angel, it symbolise the mother Mary , at her face there is the headgear wich is usually wearing by astronauts. This is the combination of the higth technology and the religion. and the reason we use it on the cover : "it's beautiful" , isn't it?

Hmm... Sounds to me that they were a "bit" drunk when they told that :loco: :D
 
Rise, o Mother of all Sorrows,
on the altar of my verses!
Blood pours forth from withered bosom
where the cruel sword has pierced it.

And thine ever-bleeding wounds
seem like eyes, red and open.
Rise, o Mother of all Sorrows,
on the altar of my verses!

In thy torn and wasted hands
holding thy Son's holy body,
thou revealst Him to all mankind -
but the eyes of man are turned away,
O Mother of all Sorrows!

vinny and danny dont really have the knowledge to answer the question because the cover came from duncan. i know what the cover is saying though.
 
I think i read in an interview with Duncan when he explained the cover. Its a photo of an angel, and in the face there is a photo of the moon landing.
Thats it if i remember it correctly!

Can't say because I'm not Duncan ;)
But I know that he's not writing on the Anathema mailinglist anymore and so it could be that he stopped reading this messageboard too.. But why don't you just mail him or ask this in the Antimatter mailinglist..?
