And why they chose that painting for the Tango album cover? I don't know. I know is a "Homage to Henri...." something, but no clue about why it is there. Does anyone know?

Henri Rousseau. :)

I don't know why they picked it, but I've always loved it. Love Rousseau, too. :D

I've always loved it, too. It's a shame I never got Tango on LP, since that was the biggest format in which it was offered. I've seen promo posters with part of the painting, but not the whole thing.

Oooh- wonder if they have any promo album flats on eBay...?

I decided to do a little research about the artist, and I came up with the freakiest thing:

And two more (although these are not weird):

This site says the Tango cover was commissioned by the Mac (but no other info):

And here's an auction where you can buy a print of the painting used for the Tango cover, signed by the painter. If you click on the link, you'll notice that the image was reversed for use on the album cover:

Interesting Info, Nixxed! However, Tango is my least favorite cover... :o But, it is Tango, so that's ok. :)
