New book about album sleeve designers Hipgnosis

Posted November 24, 2022 by Floydian Slip

Eight Nine Books will publish “Us And Them: The Authorised Story Of Hipgnosis” by Mark Blake Feb. 2.

Founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey “Po” Powell in the late-’60s, the first album sleeve the agency designed was Pink Floyd‘s “A Saucerful of Secrets” (1968). The firm went on to design many covers for Floyd, as well as iconic artwork for Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, 10cc, AC/DC and many others.

Blake, whose work has appeared in Prog and Classic Rock magazines, is the author of “Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd” (2007) as well as other titles about bands such as The Who and Queen.

Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason all contribute exclusive commentary to the new book.

Roger Waters releases new recording of “Comfortably Numb”

Posted November 18, 2022 by Floydian Slip

Sony Music released today “Comfortably Numb 2022,” a new recording of the Pink Floyd classic from Roger Waters‘s recent “This Is Not a Drill” tour.

The new track is available on streaming platforms.

“During lockdown I made a demo of a new version of ‘Comfortably Numb‘ as an opener for our new show,” Waters explains. “I pitched it a whole step down, in A Minor, to make it darker and arranged it with no solos, except over the outro chord sequence, where there is a heartrendingly beautiful female vocal solo from Shanay Johnson, one of our new singers.”

The accompanying video was produced and directed by Sean Evans. Photography by Kate Izor.

The track was produced by Waters and Gus Seyffert. Appearing on the track are Waters, vocals; Gus Seyffert , bass, synth, percussion, vocals; Joey Waronker, drums; Dave Kilminster, vocals; Jonathan Wilson, harmonium, synth, guitar and vocals; Jon Carin, synth, Vocals; Johnson, vocals; Amanda Belair, vocals; Robert Walter, organ/piano; Nigel Godrich, strings, amp and backing vocals from Roger Waters The Wall Sessions.

Waters’s “This Is Not A Drill” will tour Europe in 2023 with 40 shows across 14 European countries, starting in Lisbon on March 17, 2023, at Altice Arena.
