Shusei Nagaoka
Munich Machine (1977) by Shusei Nagaoka
This 'industrial' theme continued with the distinctive image of the dancing robots, which originally appeared on the cover of Munich Machine's first album (1977). This was painted by artist Shusei Nagaoka who painted similar sci-fi images for albums by ELO 'Out Of The Blue', Earth Wind and Fire 'Raise', Meco 'The Wizard Of Oz', Space 'Just Blue' and Giorgio 'E=MC2' (below).
Shusei Nagaoka is a Japanese artist who won Rolling Stone's best album cover of 1976. His covers often depict space scenes and starships, but also lush and colorful landscapes.
