  • The I Robot album on vinyl features a giant robot on the cover, with people gazing at it from intersecting escalators, some in awe, some pointing and laughing, others looking uneasy. The escalators continue over to the back of the album, and the album can be folded open to reveal the whole image, with the robot roughly in the middle of the picture, leaning slightly to the right; All-together a quite thought-provoking image.

    On the inside, there is only what appears to be a random promotional photo of Alan Parsons against a white backdrop, that spans across, with text in the whitespace. Not very interesting compared to the outside, until you compare the two. Alan is in the middle of the picture, leaning slightly to the right. Opening and closing the album reveals that the robot and Alan overlap.
    • Also, the robot on the cover resembles the robot in the 'I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You', played by Eric Woolfson.
      • Which is fitting, as Eric Woolfson spoke of how him and Alan had different interpretations of the lyrics in 'I Wouldn't Want To Be Like You'. Alan saw it as a 'man talking to a machine', while Eric believed it was a 'machine talking to a man'.
  • Stereotomy (parts 1 and 2) hav a recurring lyric that goes:
    We can make it
    Do anything you want
