Aquaplanage and Ed Unitsky are proud to announce the fruit of a recent collaboration. The English based outfit commissioned Ed to provide the cover art for their debut release Aquaplanage.

With his unique approach and trademark otherworldliness, Ed has rendered a visual landscape that perfectly complements the sonic territory of Aquaplanage. Ed has captured perfectly the balance of reflection and intensity inherent in the music of Aquaplanage, and provided a visual signature for their own unique brand of progressive rock.

Aquaplanage are the creative offspring of Fragile, the internationally applauded Yes tribute act who have toured extensively with Steve Howe of Yes, and been endorsed by Rick Wakeman through regular airplay on his Planet Rock digital radio show.

Connections with the Yes legacy are strong and a flavour of this legendary act can be heard in the music of Aquaplanage. However, their debut release embraces much more than the influence of Yes, and in many ways is a contemporary celebration of the wider art form. The ghosts of Floyd, Tull, Genesis, Crimson and many others can be sensed in a reframed and wholly original take on this classic art form.

It was for this reason that the band sought out Ed Unitsky. Ed's work with a wide range of acts operating left of centre of the mainstream music agenda marked him out as someone who could articulate in visual form the essence of Aquaplanange. The art speaks for itself and words cannot do justice to the emotional resonance provoked by Ed's interpretation of this majestic debut release. The marriage of the everyday and the surreal, the exploration of the mind and the inner consciousness, are shared passions for Ed and Aquaplanage.
