Just if any one wants to know,the cover pic. of Boxed is a drawing by MC Escher called "Another World".Also in the live dvd of Knebworth in 1980,there are three other illistrations by the same guy.The Guilty animation is called "Asendind and Desending",the Tubular Bells animation is a variation of the "Immpossible Triangle"(which is also on the Airborn cover),and the Ommadawn animation is called "Waterfall".It seems that Mike has an interest in those type of illusions by Escher. :/

Mike had asked animator Ian Emes to produce five film sequences which would be played as a backdrop to each concert. They were inspired by Eschers work.

For the 1980 tour Ian Emes also produced the film sequence with the "Concordetross", the mixture between bird and airplane.

I've seen those animations before, but unfortunately I ain't got the DVD (yet). :/  Yes, I agree that they're really cool - but Escher's original drawings also are, IMHO. :)
