the daydream nation imagery lingers in my mind since i was 15... 7 years ago... very stark, but at the same time the image of the flame suggests warmth... it really captured my imagination at the time and, as the second SY album I got, the cover art was another part of an esoteric puzzle... fragments i was acquiring and piecing together... exotic sounds and imagery flowing into my psyche... this was in the days before you could go online, download loads of songs, videos, and pictures... there was something infinitely more satisfying about discovering a new band then, like taking a voyage into the unknown...
