PINK FLOYD - David Gilmour Discusses The Endless River, Constant Pressure To Reunite Band; Video
November 11, 2014, 10 years ago
Pink Floyd are out with a new album, The Endless River - mostly instrumental outtakes from The Division Bell recordings. David Gilmour talks about it and the constant pressure to reunite in the video footage from Associated Press below:
The Endless River is available now via Columbia Records. The album is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth, and Andy Jackson.
The concept for the powerful imagery of a man rowing on a “river” of clouds was created by Ahmed Emad Eldin, an 18-year-old Egyptian digital artist. Ahmed’s image was then re-created by Stylorouge, award-winning UK design agency.
Pink Floyd’s album artwork, mostly created by Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis, is as legendary as the band’s music. With Storm’s passing in 2013, the task of finding an image that carried on Storm’s legacy passed to Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell, Storm’s original partner in Hipgnosis.
Po states: "When we saw Ahmed’s image it had an instant Floydian resonance. It’s enigmatic and open to interpretation, and is the cover that works so well for The Endless River.”
