Acoustic Sounds is also releasing the SACD of Wish You Were Here at the same time.
I see a very expensive late summer for myself.

Obscured By Clouds is more interesting than Piper, Saucerful and Atom Heart Mother for me. Particularly because the songs "Burning Bridges" and "The Gold It's in the..." are peak material (for me) even though there is some weak material on the album.

i want to think "oh PF are just scrounging more money off me" but then I remember that the only PF thing I've ever purchased new (that is, not used) was A Momentary Lapse of Reason back when it was released. so I suppose I can buy these.

If they actually released Household Objects as a standalone, I'd be all over it.

I read somewhere that one of the least recognized 80's albums is Pink Floyd's own personal favorite album from their discography... is there any truth to that? It might of been Momentary Lapse of Reason
― but I want a bongo drum (CaptainLorax), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:19 (thirteen years ago) link
it might be gilmour's favorite. or he might have just been trying to make waters mad.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:22 (thirteen years ago) link
I can't imagine Nick Mason and Rick Wright would be all, "Hey, you know what our favorite album of ours is? The one we didn't play on!"
― shake it, shake it, sugary pee (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:23 (thirteen years ago) link
they didn't play at all on momentary lapse? weird.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:38 (thirteen years ago) link
jim keltner and carmine appice played most of the drums on that album, mason's parts got erased because mason apparently didn't think they were very good. wright was brought on as a session musican when the album was almost finished. either way it's not like you can really tell, and neither of them did very much on anything post - animals anyway.
― akm, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 20:46 (thirteen years ago) link
Gilmour sez: "Both Nick and Rick were catatonic in terms of their playing ability at the beginning. Neither of them played on this at all really. In my view, they'd been destroyed by Roger. Nick played a few tom-toms on one track, but for the rest I had to get in other drummers. Rick played some tiny little parts. For a lot of it, I played the keyboards and pretended it was him. The record was basically made by me, and other people and God knows what."
Also, the photo on the inner sleeve of the first pressing is of just Gilmour and Mason.

So conceivably, there is a "Pink Floyd" song or two (or more) with no original members.

Okay, I was in a soulseek chatroom and the trivia bot asked something like "what was Pink Floyd's favorite album that they made?" and the answer was either Momentary Lapse or Division Bell. Could of been bot error but you never know
― but I want a bongo drum (CaptainLorax), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link
I should really get Final Cut, Momentary Lapse and Division Bell one of these days. Just never motivated enough to check them out for some reason.
― AaronHz, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:50 (thirteen years ago) link
eh, i dunno, are the post waters records worth it? even as a 14 year old floyd fanatic, i could never really dig the gilmour era beyond a couple songs.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:51 (thirteen years ago) link
Learning to Fly was kind of a cool single. I liked the video.
― AaronHz, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Final Cut is worth getting, I'd skip the post waters albums
― peter in montreal, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:55 (thirteen years ago) link
Final Cut is the last thing I have much time for. probably prefer that last Gilmour solo LP to the post Waters PF ones
― reallysmoothmusic (Jamie_ATP), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 21:58 (thirteen years ago) link
I have a soft spot for latter-day Floyd; it's like they decided that "Comfortably Numb" should be its own genre.
― Euler, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 22:19 (thirteen years ago) link
waters' favorite floyd album is the wall. both gilmour's and wright's is wish you were here. dont know about mason, but he did once describe obscured by clouds as "i thought it was a sensational lp, actually"

Yeah, saw this on the HMV site yesterday.
Remastered versions of them all, including "Piper" which only just had one but then again if you have to have the CD collection with the same spines lined up on your shelf, you have to don't you?
― Mark G, Friday, 13 May 2011 07:52 (thirteen years ago) link
"probably prefer that last Gilmour solo LP to the post Waters PF ones"
last Gilmour lp is definitely decent: recently I listened to the subsequent live album and it was good in places (Manzanera on second guitar).
― Marco Damiani, Friday, 13 May 2011 08:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Will anyone rep for About Face? Apart from a couple of tracks - Blue Light especially - it's a pretty solid record.

would be awesome if this was just the culmination of waters' nefarious plan to kill gilmour, and just as dave hit the first note of the solo, THE WALL COMES DOWN.

wow so nobody here talked about how great those 2011 remasters sound? cuz man, I think they sound amazing, tons of space and detail and heft to the sound.
― sleeve, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:25 (seven years ago) link
also there's a new run of vinyl reissues, haven't heard any reports and don't wanna dive into the Hoffman forum or something to discover how they sound. the only one I need is Piper anyway.
