Trainspot:
The cover art for Envane.
Anyone else see Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater?
As an architecture grad, I'd bet that it is.
If the design is intended to be wholly abstract, then they've made
a mighty fluke.
If intentional, it is an interesting choice.
Wright pioneered open space planning for houses and offices. (This
aspect of his style was very influenced by Japanese architecture.)
He created many large houses for wealthy clients and numerous
Institutional/Commercial projects. Certainly, the notion of showing
off just how much space they could afford made Wright's houses
status symbols for his clients, but they were also a refreshing
change from stuffy Victorian parlours. Many of his projects went to
great lengths to express his ideas about the landscape and the
place within it of architecture.
Can we draw parallels between Wright and Ae?
Open structures vs. Regimented, constricted structures?
People/Structures in Nature
contrasted with People/Structures vs. Nature?
Influence of the Japanese?
Love of the Suburbs?
(These last two are intended less seriously than those they follow.)
This note is in no way a complete summary of the influence or scope
of Wright's work, but many of these ideas are a propos if not
indisputable. N'est-ce pas?

p.s. Envane works on a braod canvas, very listenable, quite moody.
