Техноидный монстр с обложки авторства знаменитого Ганса Рудольфа Гигера, ядовито-монотонное оформление. Сегодня, по прошествии тридцати трех лет с момента выхода единственный студийный релиз швейцарцев Island воспринимается чистой воды классикой прогрессивного рока. Созданный удивительно талантливыми людьми, "Pictures" вобрал в себя находки мрачноватых эстетов Van der Graaf Generator, соединил их с традиционными симфоническими приемами, манерной высоколобостью камерного авангарда и приправил налетом первозданной животной брутальности.

Pictures is the debut and only studio album of Island and was released in 1977. The line up on the album is Benjamim Jager, Peter Scherer, René Fisch and Guge Jurg Meier. Island is a progressive rock band from Switzerland. The band was lead by Benjamin Jäger. Island was loosely related to Brainticket, only because the band’s vocalist Jäger was with a group called Toad, which featured Cottonwoodhill era members of Brainticket. Toad was supposedly a more conventional hard rock band and they had nothing to do with Island
