That would be virtually any ELO or Parliament cover.

I wouldn't want to be pedant, but the Kraftwerk covers merely represent the technology/style of their own time, the Stereolab cover is nothing but abstract shapes, the They Might Be Giants cover takes place undersea, and the Kiss one is just a rocker with some make-up, surely not an invention of the future?

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 14 April 2005 16:25 (twenty years ago)

But that's a spaceship on the left hand side of the TMBG cover. It's SQUID vs WHALE in SPACE!

― JimD (JimD), Thursday, 14 April 2005 16:46 (twenty years ago)

Hey, if Sun Ra dressed up in an Egyptian headress counts, than so does a stoney image of my man "Space" Ace Frehley.

― Bobby Peru (Bobby Peru), Thursday, 14 April 2005 17:48 (twenty years ago)

Oh yeah, I forgot about Mr. Ra... There's no clear evidence he's in space either, the album title isn't a sufficient indication. As for the TMBG cover, are you sure the ship is not a deep-sea probe?

I think the album title helps the TMBG cover's case; plus from what I can see, it even looks like an Apollo-type spacecraft. I bet it would be hard to make a craft in that shape that wouldn't be collapsed by deep-sea pressures.

does an album cover thread in which alex in nyc doesn't post any pictures even count?

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Friday, 15 April 2005 02:24 (twenty years ago)

I dont know how to post images but Silver Apples, Contact is in space.

― jmeister (jmeister), Friday, 15 April 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

four months pass...

"""does an album cover thread in which alex in nyc doesn't post any pictures even count?"""

No.

But the distinguished person in question did comment on someone else's picture,
-and there is a trackback from a AlexNYC pictures thread, so all is in order.

Ha. That Herbie cover for Thrust with the keyboard piloted spaceship never ceases to crack me up - he is just groovin' his way through space.

Also, "Somewhere in Time" is one of the funniest/dumbest album titles ever.

i'm too drunk to contribute, but what an awesome thread!

― fizzcaraldo (Justin M), Sunday, 11 September 2005 07:20 (twenty years ago)

Again I have a few complaints about the futureness of some of these covers: the Count Basie one probably is just a photo of a then present-day nuclear bomb test, the "Information Society" has just a car and some digital clock numbers in it, both of which have been with us for a long time, the giant in the Queen cover could easily be the mythological Goliath/Colossus rather than a robot, and the Deodato cover is actually in the past now.
