Yes, but you have to realize that just won't work (well).
That said, all of the other views are pretty bad ass as well.
edit: Wait, would it be possible to animate this?:

When I was messing around with stuff for my own skin I wanted an effect similar to the 'waves' on the PS3 menu. I achieved it by making a very long image and simply adding a slow slide animation to it.
Looked good.

Oh wow!! I LOVE that home screen. This skin could have been a potential aeon-killer. The "showcase" and regular wall view still look great. Hopefully someone could create something similar

Probably quite a long ways off though.

Voted best looking skin that doesn't exist.

It would work if there would be a wall view where you can browse in all directions and if you have hardware which is fast enough to load/render all the covers without delay. ^^

Out blood standing, the flow the lay-out is breath taking keep up the amazing work.

Personally I'm a huge fan of this lay out its clean and still gives you the details you want along with that. All I can say is I want it now lol

Wall views don't really work as you have to fix them in one direction so that it's possible to navigate out of them (to get to view menu etc)
In static mockup images they look fantastic but in practice they don't work anywhere near as well.
