STANLEY KUBRICK
Stanley Kubrick (July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, and editor, most of his life working out of the United Kingdom. He is regarded as one of the greatest and most influential directors of all time. His films, typically adaptations of novels or short stories, are noted for their “dazzling” and unique cinematography, attention to detail in the service of realism, and the evocative use of music. Director Norman Jewison calls him one of the “great masters” that America has produced. (More from Wikipedia)
Walter Carlos continued to release synthesizer albums for many years – including the soundtrack for the Stanley Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange – though none had the impact of Switched-On Bach.

The gatefold cover of Deviants #3 shows a nun and a young boy curled up on the ground. The nun is clearly a man in drag; both people are sucking on multi-colored Popsicles that I have only ever seen in that creepy Stanley Kubrick movie, A Clockwork Orange (although that film didn’t actually come out until 1971). I am not sure exactly what the cover is supposed to mean, but it is rather disturbing.
