In the new August issue of the Spanish music magazine "This Is Rock", and coinciding with the exhibition in Madrid of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, an interview has been undertaken by Aubrey 'Po' Powell. Po, of course, is the curator of this exhibition and founding member together with Storm Thorgerson of Hipgnosis, the creative agency that made almost all Pink Floyd's covers, in addition to other classic bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Alan Parsons Project, and so on. They also discuss what they consider to be the best images of Hypnosis for Pink Floyd.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album "The Division Bell" the cover of this issue of "This Is Rock" is one of the alternative shots for the cover and kindly provided by Peter Curzon, from StormStudios. The magazine argues that in the later Pink Floyd albums "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" and "The Division Bell" the leader of this version of the band was David Gilmour, so in this issue of "This Is Rock" tribute is paid to him in a section entitled "Essential: The Legacy of David Gilmour."
Our thanks to Jose Abellan for the information above. The magazine is now available from all Spanish magazine outlets, or online from Area66.es which is the official store for the magazine.
