Paul Van Dyk - Evolution (2012)

From Paul Van Dyk's Evolution album comes...

The cover artwork for the single: The Ocean

And cover artwork for the single: Eternity

And here are some additional promotional imagery from the album's first single release: Verano.

The suit looks a bit 2001 but I'm thinking it's one of those IBM Codernaut suits, looking a little worse for wear after a decade or so.

IBM Codernaut Advertising Campaign (2001)

This ones been in the files for a long time, almost from the very beginning of this blog but for whatever reason its taken several years to generate its own post. Well here it is at last; the king of 2001: A Space Odyssey-looky-likey suits, as featured in TV and general press adverts as well as appearances at trade shows.  Unlikely-ladies and gentlemen may I present to you; the IBM Codernaut spacesuits...

It's been suggested that there were 6 of these suits made; two for the adverts, as above, and a further two pair for the trade show appearances with the latter being somewhat lighter and more suited for a longer wear time.  The backpack is also larger and more like the original film props

Of course there is a similar light blue suit seen in the original film although the IBM one is a closer match to the silver moon suits....

...than the one seen hanging up in the pod bay of the Discovery.

The suits were made by Global Effects Inc, who have made a great number of other spacesuits over the years and have a rather nice web site found here...

That's it, so, enjoy the rest of the gallery.
