his designs are special.

A very cool interview with the man himself, including Floyd tunes and plenty of brilliant images, is on the BBC website, here:

I have an incredible book called "The Album Cover Album" that I believe is no longer in print and it features hundreds of the most artistically significant album covers made up until the mid 70s.Storm started up Hipgnosis with Aubrey Powell in 1968 and it didn't take long for them to become the creators of some of the most iconic artwork for the recording industry.Many Hipgnosis album covers are featured in this book,as a matter of fact,they are probably the most represented artists in the book with Roger Dean probably being a distant second.With Storms passing,the world has lost one of the most incredible and influential artists of the 20th Century.Rest in Peace Storm thanks for bring the world so much beauty.

a sad loss indeed,..... what a talent!! Storms Albums cover art has been etched in all our minds...... from his work with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin,Anthrax, Audioslave, Black Sabbath, Bruce Dickenson, Dream Theater, Peter Gabriel, Phish, Muse, Yes, The Scorpions ....... his album cover art always made you think (or go...WOW!!...)

Ouch!!! I remember the first time you posted that!...Long time passing. That cover art...a no-brainer for the band's acceptance. There was no discussion at all. And and icon.... :wink:
