Echoes: The Best of Pink Floyd - Cover

Cover

Storm Thorgerson, best known for creating the majority of album covers for Pink Floyd, worked with the band Dream Theater on their 1997 album Falling into Infinity and submitted to the band two sketches for possible covers. One became the cover that was used on the release. The second ended up being used by Pink Floyd for Echoes four years later. The two original sketches are framed and hanging in the home of former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy and is pointed out by Portnoy in his Hudson Music instructional drum DVD In Constant Motion.

Famous quotes containing the word cover:

    Between us, we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known and I know the rest.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.
    Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)

    If only I could vanish in darkness, and thick darkness would cover my face!
    Bible: Hebrew, Job 23:17.
