| Pink Floyd Doc on
BBC1 - 12th December
Forty years after Britain's foremost underground band
released their debut album Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Pink Floyd
remain one of the biggest brand names and best-loved bands in the
world.
This film features extended archive footage, some
of it rarely or never seen, alongside original interviews with the
four surviving members of Pink Floyd - David Gilmour, Roger Waters,
Richard Wright and Nick Mason - and traces the journey of a band
that has only ever had five members, three of whom have lead the
band at different stages of its evolution.
The program is broadcast on BBC 1 in England on Wednesday
12th December between 10:45pm GMT and 11:45pm GMT.

Storm Thorgerson Mind Over Matter V4.0
Mind Over Matter, published to coincide with the 40th
anniversary of Pink Floyd (whose first album, The Piper At The Gates
of Dawn, was released in 1967) and a Pink Floyd artwork *exhibition,
is a visual feast celebrating Pink Floyd’s best album covers
and artwork.
Nearly all of the images which have embodied the music
of Pink Floyd are here including such graphic icons as The Dark
Side Of The Moon, Atom Heart Mother, Wish You Were Here and The
Division Bell. These designs are some of the most powerful in contemporary
graphics and represent the very best of innovative photography and
computer manipulation.
This fourth updated edition of Mind Over Matter contains
50 new additional pages, features Pink Floyd’s most recent
album covers, posters, DVDs, single bags, T shirts, adverts etc
and has a new cover specially designed for the occasion which was
photographed with great difficulty in the remote wilds of Utah.
Storm Thorgerson’s text describes in witty detail
the genesis and production of all the designs.
