2001 Degrees Centigrades? It
seems to my eyes that the artist behind the alternate cover of
Magma's 1971 album might have been inspired by the iconic monolith imagery
in the beginning of Kubrick's classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. What do you think?  ------------- Continue the prog discussion here: http://zombyprog.proboards.com/index.cgi ... |

Interesting, though I'd guess it's more likely just a coincidence. It's possible, though.

| Just a coincidence, probably, although I wouldn't be surprised if Vander is a 2001 fan. |

Especially considering that album came out in 1971, that movie scene was in the front of everyone's mind at that point. Still one of the best sci-fi flicks ever made, IMO...one of the only movies to depict space so realistically (other than the final scene, of course)... ------------- https://www.facebook.com/ShadowCircus/" rel="nofollow - ..::welcome to the shadow circus::.. |

Absolutely. And yes, great film. My favourite scene is where Frank Poole is shadow boxing while jogging around the centrifuge past the sarcophagi which captures the loneliness of space travel so poignantly for me. The film I most closely associate it with is Solaris (the original adaptation). By the way, Magma's K.A. has something of monolithic qualities too (may be a stretch too liken K.A.'s artwork to the Tycho monolith, but...). |
