The album's title, a reference to the British parliament's practice of ringing a bell to call for a vote, was suggested to the group by Adams. There are theories that Publius was a member of the band, Ezrin, Thorgerson, or even Douglas Adams, author of the successful "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" novels and associate of the band. The artwork of "The Division Bell" was the focus of attention for Publius Enigma fanatics - a devoted, if not kooky, group of netizens who continue to search for signs of a supposed hidden message somewhere within the album, alluded to by a mysterious, anonymous poster to the -floyd newsgroup. While variations and outtakes of older Floyd covers are hard to come by, there are many variations of the now-familiar talking heads of "The Division Bell" - on the vinyl LP, various EPs and promotional material. The album's trademark Floydian cover was the work, in part, of Storm Thorgerson, co-founder of the design team Hipgnosis, which had created so many Floyd covers before. Michael Kamen, who also went back to "The Wall," handled orchestrations. If you require any customisation regarding size or colour. Bob Ezrin, who first worked with the group on "The Wall," co-produced the effort with Gilmour. A wooden replica off the Pink Floyd album cover The Division Bell Heads. Wright, along with Gilmour and drummer Nick Mason were joined by many of the musicians the group had gathered for its "Delicate Sound of Thunder" tour several years prior: keyboardist Jon Carin, bassist Guy Pratt, Gary Wallis on percussion, and Tim Renwick on guitar.

The Division Bell is a English album released on. "The Division Bell" marked the true return of keyboardist Rick Wright to the group, after he was essentially forced out by Roger Waters during recording of 1979's "The Wall." (Waters would split with Floyd in 1983.) While Wright sat out 1983's "The Final Cut," and was only partially involved in the making of 1987's "Momentary Lapse," he would write or co-author three songs on "The Division Bell," including the instrumental "Marooned," which won the best rock instrumental Grammy for '94. The heavy presence of synthesizer was no coincidence. Fans of the trippier, synthesized Pink Floyd - in fact, every fan of the group anxious for new material, after waiting seven years since the group's "A Momentary Lapse of Reason," its previous studio album - would hit pay dirt when Floyd released "The Division Bell" in 1994.
