Echoing the iconic original sleeve the 2021 album artwork is designed and art. The album germinated during the bands 1977 Animals tour. (Glass Onyon) Following the wildly successful Still Wish You Were Here project released earlier this year, another gathering of classic, prog and art rock superstars have come together to recreate and reimagine Pink Floyd's ambitious 1977 concept album, Animals!įusing the white-hot guitar work of Floyd guitarist David Gilmour with the stone-cold cynicism of Roger Water's lyrics, Animals is widely hailed by die-hard Floyd fans as one of the group's most highly conceptual and uncompromising albums of their career, and certainly set the template for the commercial breakthrough that would come two years later with 1979's The Wall. The albums cover artwork was the first ever sleeve design for creators Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson of the Hipgnosis design team, and was to lead to a groundbreaking career for them in the visual arts, including of course many more iconic Pink Floyd album sleeves, amongst them The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here. As with most art, Pink Floyds concept album is a combination of imagination and the authors own life.
