Hey, good info thanks!I thought I'd seen it before as well. I have (Nerd Alert!) the book, https://www.amazon.co.uk/Vinyl-Album-Cover-Art-Hipgnosis/dp/0500519323/ref=sr_1_1?crid=57ZC8S25I8ZJ&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2AcfgVRIED74cDyUWLRTXSAfq4f4Ir5o6jpPT131hKAOyfw8C75km5HcgYz2Rxv9aT-4A6pB3Mh-k1lQ6j2jpbMhIpUPNfdK33Mm3jDvkaV3hy-0vqgotdzQCX73A-wPu7UKC3KS46AUJRVUt-EXqA.ficaeLOG-mkCcsgvTo-99WyNDNDKsIuWr8fAEUZrX0Q&dib_tag=se&keywords=hipgnosis+the+complete+album+covers&qid=1715684826&sprefix=the+complete+hipg,aps,91&sr=8-1

and its from the cover of the Heavy Metal Kids, 1977 album "Kitsch" the car is a Jaguar XJ120. I also saw the band a few times way back then.
Like most bands they started out heavier with more of a doom/stoner style but always had some soundtrack psych elements.If you dig Blu then work your way backwards starting with Wasteland.This reminds me of a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack.
I see on Amazon that there are several albums by this band. Do you know if they all have the same weird style as this?
I like it and I think I will pick up this cd when it is back in stock. Would have been great back in the 80s when I was space truckin'.
David Sancious is the best thing to ever come out of the mediocrity pit of The E Street band.In fact I read Springsteen and co got the name because they always practiced at Davids' Moms house on E street.I got turned on to him by his work w/ Stanley Clarke.He's had a pretty lucrative career backing up Peter Gabriel and Sting etc.But I only really like his solo stuff from the mid 70's.Sadly he is much more known for his piano playing but on those forgotten 70's lps he plays a mean guitar too.View attachment 105503
David Sancious and Tone -
Dance of the Age of Enlightenment
Cool story how Iconoclassic rescued this unreleased album from obscurity (a few promo copies got out before the label abandoned it).
Kinda wish I liked it more, and the multiple synthesizer overdubs sound muddy/gritty in places. But still, admire the effort then and now and don’t regret taking a chance on it.
