Dear friends!
When I look at the cover of the latest David Gilmour solo-album, I would like to read the title as "Rattle that lo-ck". There is a line between the letters "o" and "c". I gave this just a briefly thought, but I can't figure out what the reason is for this "liason" between the letters. I have turned the album (or in my case, the box) upside down to see if the letters could relate to any kind of a symbol.
So far, the only thing I could guess of, is that the "o" stands for eternity, and the "c" stands for any kind of interuption... Any other guess?
Best regards,
Peter Harold

I noticed that right away but didn't give it too much significance. I immediately thought that the letters were deliberately connected to form a shape that could represent both a key and a broken pair of handcuffs at the same time. Both correlating with the album title. I could be wrong though.

I took it for 2 links in a chain, the second of which has been broken.

Perhaps it is simular to The Beatles Sgt Pepper album in that its is a secret message to tell us that one of the band, in this case Pink Floyd, is actually dead
..................-..................................-.or perhaps its just a side view of a key in a surface mounted lock.
I expect somebody spent a lot of time coming up with that clever little logo you know

Re: Secret message in title of "Rattle that lo-ck"?
American conservatives often use a hyphen in their speech (but usually not in writing) as a political departure from standard English. "Rattle that Lo-ck" read one way could mean the hyphen, but read the other way is actually saying "Rattle that Lock!"
So perhaps it is a compromise, having it both ways.
