#8: Ω XCVII - More (Meaning Less) (2004)
For those keeping track, this is the cover of the album that features the "infamous" song "Cheese on Fire." It is another collaboration with Alec Pettifer (see below) although in this case he helped by providing the raw materials, location and preparation of the Ω logo in metal, made from a torch-heated and bent rod. The tiles are these corroded and dirty metal plates we found at his grandfather's garage, and the nuts and bolts were there as well. There was some welding going on, which is featured on the back cover, and includes a photo of me (in full coveralls and welding mask) apparently (but not really) welding my snare drum with a guitar and trumpet (!) hidden among the "artfully" unkempt tools and debris. Unique among my covers in that it is one of the last to prominently feature the Omega symbol rather than my face.
