700 beds! This episode covers the story behind A Momentary Lapse of Reason by Pink Floyd.
It’s not technically a Hipgnosis cover…or is it?
I talk about the new documentary Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis)  (Go see it!!)
This record cover didn’t make an appearance in the film for good reason but I still wanted to explore this insane feat that could only have been pulled off by the amazing Storm Thorgerson. Fast forward to 2021 and the band gets back together for a remix of the original art…kind of. 
BONUS: watch til the end for my ai experiments in attempting to create this thing the lazy way. What could go wrong?
Check it out on youtube under Design Freaks Podcast and everywhere else you get podcasts! 
***I also recommend you check out my Hipgnosis episode from 2020 (it’s #12! Not 13 like I say in the episode lol) with the one and only Kurt Bloch!***~~
