Thanks To Ultra Music, Hervey Bay, for allowing me to photograph 2 of their electronic band organs for this challenge, the organs were displayed on the one stand that worked well with what I had in mind.
The three word name was a bit more of the thinking tank, as DPL are not the easiest letters for a Band title, the theme of the cover helped being a DARK effect, from this PLANET and LARKS meaning songsters.

Well, I like this a lot, and I like the bold red font centered between the keyboards. I think it's an excellent album cover, and IMO it should have scored higher.
Nice eye-catching design with the keyboards and nice colors as well. A bit torn on the curvature of the upper text - maybe have that really curved and run across the upper keyboard?
