Pink Floyd-Classic or dud

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

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.

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.

Learning to Fly was kind of a cool single. I liked the video.

Final Cut is worth getting, I'd skip the post waters albums

Final Cut is the last thing I have much time for. probably prefer that last Gilmour solo LP to the post Waters PF ones

I have a soft spot for latter-day Floyd; it's like they decided that "Comfortably Numb" should be its own genre.

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"

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW

now my mexican restaurant sucks

david gilmour played comfortably numb with roger waters tonight at the london Wall show. got tickets for next tuesday, pretty hyped.

Nick Mason speaks

This piece claims everything will drop in September, including vanilla reissues of the rest of the catalog.

yep, see www.whypinkfloyd.com for all that

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?

"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).

Will anyone rep for About Face? Apart from a couple of tracks - Blue Light especially - it's a pretty solid record.

yes like it very much, esp 'Cruise'. a nice understated record

pretty psyched to hear a non-annoying "Great Gig in the Sky"

What, Easy Star All Stars?

Hah, screenshot is a SPOILER.

i can't believe I didn't go see the wall when it came through oakland, WTF was I thinking? broke I guess.

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.

Bill Maher looks great on that guitar. The longer hair suits him.

more great footage of *that* bit. for me i guess this is like if Bernard Butler shows up at the Dog Man Star/Suede gig on Friday. Floyd fans musta been going mental.

wah wah - no one told me when to run - I missed the starting gun! wahwah - WILL LISTEN TO FLOYD instead of catching up

Pink Floyd “Reunite” in Support of Gaza Activists

"David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Roger Waters stand united in support of the Women of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla"

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.

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.

How many goddamn reissues does this band need?

Yeah, I agree. That was the first time I bought any Floyd on CD, and they sound fantastic.

i don't know any pink floyd masterings that _don't_ sound fantastic. except they fucked up the mono on that piper box set a few years back, i guess.

Did they? I thought it sounded fantastic, but it's the only mono Piper I've heard.

well i think it was just one of the channels that was fucked up. since we're dealing with a mono recording anyway it's not exactly the end of the world, y'know?

Chris Blair from Abbey Rd caught a lot of flack from the Hoffman types for cutting off the end of Flaming, introducing some clicks and a bit of a botch noise reduction/EQ combo.

i like everything pretty much except the final cut and atom heart mother!
