Its a "nod" to Major Tom aka David Bowie

Because as we all know The Killing Moon "Chords" are basically Space Oddity in reverse

And did you tell him how much you like the album? As for the cover, not the best, reminds me of the third showaddywaddy album cover.

And there's me thinking it was a tribute to Adam Clayton's helmet on the Achtung Baby cover. :eek: :redface:

The new Spiritualized album "And Nothing Hurt" with a space helmet is 10,000x better than The Stars, The Oceans & The Moon.
