"Usually I'm the one who does the covers. And I just said, man, it would be nice to see what somebody else could do, outside of this thing. A fresher look. And I never, in a million years, would have come up with this. Believe me!"

In this quote, Alan Vega is expressing his surprise and appreciation for the cover of his work that was created by somebody else. He normally handles the task of producing covers himself, but this time he wished to see what another person could come up with. He was expecting a brand-new and different perspective, a "fresher appearance." And when he saw the result, he was blown away. He never ever could have imagined or considered something like this on his own. This experience has opened his eyes to the creativity and talent of others, and he is grateful for the unanticipated outcome.
