#12: Ω LXXXVII - Millennium Madness (The Extent Of Mine Is The Title Of This Album) (2000)

Excusing the long title, this cover is the first of a brief return to hand-drawn images on paper (after some lame and clumsy computer-generated images using software I completely forget, while on break from student-teaching in a computer lab in Lindenwold, NJ - I actually remember this stuff), which lasted for only five covers before changing completely to computerized images (using Photoshop), one of which you've recently seen and the rest of which you will see soon. This one always struck me as a quite handily drawn (using black and gold pens and pencil) abstract rendering of an obscured Ω. The music is a hodge-podge of pieces I had been working on and recording while in Miami, including an orchestral piece (my Master's Thesis!), some live group improvisations and the humorous "How Do Udu®?" which implores the line: "Aigg Sa-laaaaaaahd!!!" As far from a "pop" album as you can get, folks.
