"Architecture, in general, is frozen music." --I forget who. Your discovery reminds me of the use of art (Kraftwerk, Pink Floyd and Warp) on the AI cover and makes me wonder if some of the other DR covers are inspired by (are copies of) existing works of some sort. The cover of 'Bytes' comes to mind, with its landscape-like rendering. And 'Amber'.. Seems like the representational pieces by tDR like the ones mentioned above are few and far-between the busy, type-layered "techno" style they're known for. But then again, maybe those more common pieces are also famous works of art, fed through an ascii-art program :) (hmm, could be, actually :) Cheers, Brad
