[kj] KJ artwork

[Neil Perry]

Yup, it's a lot of anticipation to stomach isn't it? :)

Those brief video clips of them listening to stuff in the studio didn't fill
me with confidence - sounded like more chug-along-with-Geordie riffing -
but it was only a 30-second clip... so yes, I'm hoping BP came back
with some ideas he's been brewing up for the past 20 years.

As for the artwork, I am intrigued by the thought of something cartoon-y
rather than either of the last two LPs styles. But I think its a massive
missed opportunity, what with the original line up back together and all,
not to involve their original art man also.

But when have KJ ever done anything sensible?
