(part 2 of 2)
now here’s the fun part tho, storm thorgerson did the artwork and had lots of fun with it by making a new original set referencing the bands entire legacy and history with lot of easter eggs
front coverthe first thing that gets our attention right off the bat is the “window into window” whole style to it which is taken straight from “ummagumma”
inside the first room:
1 the maid on the left is from “a momentary lapse of reason”
2 idk what the heater is about
3 the masks on the right (this scan is pretty dark ugh) all the band members faces masks used on “is there anybody out there?”
4 by the first window: a mini pig for “animals” and mini cow for “atom heart mother”
outside the first room:
1 outside the red veil is from the sleeves of “wish you were here” same with the diver on the right
2 another little pig by the second window
inside the second room:
1 the bed from momentary lapse on the left
2 the couple are from “a collection of great dance songs” cover
3 the photo on the wall on the right is “meddle” cover, the ear in full display
4 right below that are the two heads statues from “division bell” (that’s the best spot you could get storm? why not outside far away behind the trees?)
5 a plane toy on the ceiling.. “learning to fly” the song ig?
6 another little cow on the third window! ok we get it storm lol
outside the second room:
1 a big view on grantchester meadows
2 a rower for the signs of life video ???
3 and last but not least one of the business dude from wish you were here
inside the first room:
1 the hammers on the wall on the left is from “the wall”
2 photograph bellow is from the single “point me to the sky”
3 on the tiny table: fishbowl for wish you were here song lyrics? hand mirror for “on the turning away” cover? the little cow again for atom heart mother (that’s a lot of cows now from an album that’s not on the best of ) and the photo i can’t tell but it looks like some more photos of this best of covers?
4 soldier on right from back cover of “the final cut”
outside the first room:
1 on the left is the other businessman from wish you were here, the one burning, look at his suitcase it has postcards too from the album
2 the target thing is one of the division bell statue eye
3 the axe for careful with that axe, eugene (at least these give credits to the producer list of songs that didn’t make the best of!)
4 notice all the white bricks very distinctive, that’s obviously for “the wall”
5 that little shiny transparent pyramid (tryna to summon a rainbow?) on the window is for “the dark side of the moon”
6 the bike for the song “bike”
inside second room:
1 the photo on the wall on the left is the artwork for the “shine on” boxset (ugly assss s*** wtf storm?)
2 on the shelf bellow? “a saucerful of secrets” bottles?
3 what’s that thing bellow the window??? the cover of “relics”? can’t tell, too dark lol
4 the guy on the right is mr bulb from “delicate sound of thunder”
5 photo on the wall on the right is the cover of “the piper at the gates of dawn”
6 idk what the balloon thing on the ceiling is for mmmm
outside the second room:

i know isn’t that crazy in hindsight? storm has always kept it 100% even on the cover of “a momentary lapse of reason” where he could copy paste all the beds no he did a whole setting on the beach of a thousands of beds out there lined up
idk how far he went tho, like the suit without the guy on wish you were here, not sure he could’ve done that without some retouch?
obviously pass the 00s he most likely started photoshopping but even if at very little ocassions because nothing comes to mind
for example not many ppl know but he did the covers for muse “absolution” (there’s a making off of that it’s real no photoshop) and also “black holes and revelations”, once you know that you can’t unnotice, his style really stands out for many
that’s why i hate the cover of endless river that was dude some random dude, that art is so not storm! feels like a poster ad for retirement house..
same with the dude who did the art for the new boxset “later years” (altho he’s from the same creative team of storm) with the photoshopped light polls, it’s very salvador which is nice but it’s so out of field of pink floyd usual iconic visually and even more of storms long history of work with the band
storm also did black sabbaths technical ecstasy and led zeppelins house of the holy and in through the out door, etc
but yeah poster of those echoes artwork are really a great idea actually, one put next to the other, the best of pf but also storms style
Finisheder saucer it was good but i like the other floyds more you know
saucerful was one that grew on me with time. i think its a little less direct than a lot of their albums and I thought Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun and the title track were boring first time i listened

Will have to see how I feel on a revisit.

Man you put me onto a lot of info I was unaware of appreciate that fam. I remember seeing endless river cover art and thinking wtf is this but after reading this it makes a lot of sense now

my pleasure my brother thank you for taking the time at all to read

yeh saucerful is def not one of pf instant accessible record in fact prolly one of the lesser easy go to albums tbh
didn't like it 😔
ill run through the early years compilation, see if something clicks like their slim harpo cover.
I enjoyed Animals years ago ill check that out again, go through their 70s catalog.
Lot of great discussion itt too

saucerful is one of their hardest to get into, it’s far lesser pop appeal than animals, still think it’s a trip but it takes some digging into really getting into the pf flavor to then go back to saucerful n fully appreciate it, i was the same at first don’t worry
but i appreciate you giving it a shot and getting back to me, means a lot boss you been nothing but the realest
n thank u brother, that’s my goal thru these threads to bring balance to the music sxn and more passionated talk, if you ever wanna go into the beach boys the talks over there goes as deep lore as the weezer one for sure
id say try atom heart mother it’s my personal favorite and far more accessible
is @666 ur evil twin?
Yes dont listen to anything he says
He’s doing it again smh
He’s doing it again smh
thot he was gonna say Pink Floyd my most hated band
thot he was gonna say Pink Floyd my most hated band
He’s not that evil
Pink Floyd my most hated band
Motherfucker...
