Separated At Birth

In case you didn't know, Tower Records recently declared Chapter 11 and now must liquidate its assets. I dropped by the branch on B'way this weekend and picked up a handfull of CD's that I've been meaning to acquire.

In this batch were the above two CD's, picked up merely because they've been on my list, but check out the covers. Intentional?

My bet is that it is.

Watt is a big Coltrane fan, and since Watt's music on this CD explores the "interstellar space" of his body and his recovery from a near-fatal illness, I'd say the homage is quite apt.
