Essential rock'n'roll reads
‘Mind Over Matter: The Images of Pink Floyd’ by Storm Thorgerson
In terms of album art, Pink Floyd reigned supreme during the entirety of their career. Storm Thorgerson’s arresting visuals are instantly recognizable and stunning on their own accord, making this collection of his iconic work with the prog rockers an essential for fans of the band or photography lovers in general.
As well as being arguably music’s greatest ever album artist, Thorgerson also has an engaging personality that shines through in his writing which perfectly backs up his images. In this book, he shares the secrets of the shots from concept to completion, detailing what worked and what didn’t.
The book guides the reader through the early days of creating footage for slide shows for the band’s live performances, tour posters and early ads, before going on to detail his involvement in the conceptual design team Hipgnosis. Even if you never got into Pink Floyd, there’s no denying the brilliance behind the vast majority of these images.
