Als je van de muziek en (door Hipgnosis) gemaakte hoezen van Pink Floyd, 10cc, Led Zeppelin, Wings en Peter Gabriel houdt, ga dan zeker Squaring the Circle zien. Erg fijne film van Anton Corbijn. #SquaringTheCircle #AntonCorbijn

#SquaringTheCircle is a clever metaphor for creating cover art for vinyl LPs, and also a great #movie by #AntonCorbijn about the inimitable #Hipgnosis - saw it last night and really enjoyed it. #MoviesOfMastadon #documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1OuRErYtqc
