Not sure what the ultimate theme of this is but it sure is sci-fi oriented to me....one of my favorite one off albums also.
 
 
Another one I like that is a bit older in style......Julian's Treatment...A Time before This...

Floyd's A Saucerful Of Secrets, Alan Parsons I Robot, (yes I know it's been mentioned but I am determined to mention it too as it'sone of the most sci-fi of the lot as opposed to surrealism such as Lamb Lies Down. Genesis had so much material that was more sci fantasy, a kind of ... progression from Floyd's Piper.

ELP- Brain Salad Surgery if purely for Karn Evil 9 springs to mind.

Couple of sci fi numbers from Purple - Fools and The Mule all from one of Asimov's Foundation trilogy (as it was)...

I've always thought the music of HELDON was as Sci-Fi

As to Nik Turner: Xitintoday is an SF album too; about the Egyptian Gods.

I see someone has already mentioned Ayreon's The Dream Sequencer, but it is a superb album and worth mentioning as it is one of the greatest albums ever by anyone

The Aquaserge album Ce Très Cher Serge, Spécial Origines follows the fortunes of one man and his super-science submarine among the oceans and their mysterious denizens after the world has drowned. I guess that counts as SF!
 
Here's a meditative interlude:
 
 
French lyrics, English translation included in the CD booklet.
