[kj] Cover art for Hosannas.. CD,

[Alexander Smith]

I think the usage of the piece that graces the cover is based more in  
Jaz's experience in Prague and less about his desire to have some  
sort of surrealist work.

And it was Dead Can Dance -- among others -- who have used Bosch in  
their artwork (specifically on the AEON album).
