Topic: Face On Caress Of Steel?
Posted: March 21 2014 at 22:13

I have only seen it as a face haha

I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

For some reason when I first saw this album cover (it was from a distance mind you) I thought it was a bronze black woman with a large afro looking to her right.

Here's a link to a web site that has a much larger version of the art work...scroll down..........

to the direct left of the center figure one can 'see' a face in the 'clouds' or whatever that is but again is it intentional or just an artifact of the art work? Only My Syme knows for sure.

I don't 'see' any intentional faces there but again pareidolia can cause that to happen.

A link to Syme on wiki who did the art work and to his home page. I could not find any interviews or info on these pages that mentioned this piece of art..

The cover is by Hugh Syme, and he if he wanted you to see faces in the cover they would have been done a hell of a lot better. (Same for the Indian Head penny)

For example, this is one of his:

I'll be damned - I think I see it !!! Just above the man's head, slightly to the left. Looks like 'The Joker' from Batman. With a tall cow-lick hair-doo, long nose and chin. Not Queen Victoria.......

I can see Berlusconi's face on Guldbamsen's avatar, too. Big smile

Oh yes. Bunga Bunga parties indeed.

I see it as well. The face is there.

I bet you see Jesus' face in bits of toast as well

Actually there is a vague face-like figure just above the man's head, although it's not clear what you're actually seeing, but I reckon it's just coincidence.
