i kind of dig that the division bell dudes have been incorporated into the floyd iconography. must make waters so mad.

I've been thinking the same thing. High hopes etc.

^^^ any good?

how could it be anything but good dude.

IT RULES THAT'S WHAT

Whoever did these trance remixes does know jack-shit about Pink Floyd. Floyd is perfect. There's no need to tamper with it. I really feel sorry for everybody who bought any of these CDs. I'm sure there are plenty of legit bands to invest you money into. Do any of you REALLY listen to these so called "remixes"?? Or have you bought these just because it's (remotely) related to Floyd. Here's another question to the people who bought the trance remixes: Do you have all the legit Floyd on CD? If any of you don't, well then complete your REAL floyd collections first. Ficticious Sports, Music From the Body, Wet Dream, Obscured By Clouds, Profiles, More: all of these are 1000000 time better than any of the trance remixes and they are REAL floyd products. How about the Solo Barrett?

i'm glad there are no photos of me and my friends outside the pink floyd concert we saw in '94.

I saw Floyd in 94 and behind us was a classics prof at my university, baked out of his mind

there was an old guy (probably a classics professor) behind us who told us how this wasn't the real floyd, man. you know what i said to him?

Compelling post. I'm 82% through my first listen. This is indistinguishable from a Gilmour solo album.

idk i’ve heard every gilmour album and i think it’s pretty distinguishable from those!!!

It seems pretty conventional, to me.

I started. I made it through the instrumental intro and "What Do You Want From Me" (which was the single; I remembered it pretty accurately) but then I got distracted and went off to listen to about a half dozen versions of the country song "In the Jailhouse Now." I'll try again later.

There was a really cool lofi cover version of “learning to fly” playing at the record store I went to today, it was all modulated and weird.

― brimstead

i wonder if it was anthony moore's demo, which was just released

OK, I'm listening to "Poles Apart" now and this is very bad. The groaning strings and the stupid carnival keyboard noises on top sound like an idea late-period Rush would have rejected, and the part where it almost speeds up but then doesn't, and the "just play a basic beat and we'll put in something more interesting later" drumming... oof. That might have to be it for today.

Ughh do I need to listen to the division bell again? it hasn’t been *that* long since I tried, I think less than five years. Peak Gilly Noodle is very tempting.

I found the “synthesis of the three songwriters” part of your post very persuasive but then again I’m pretty down to listen to this guy solo over a synth pad drone for ages.

i wonder if it was anthony moore's demo, which was just released

Oh that I wanna hear

Excellent post, Kate!

https://reflectionsonsound.bandcamp.com/album/home-of-the-demo

picked up a copy of Anthony More's World Service single yesterday, was free as the store was giving me a deal with everything else I bought. It holds up better than anything Pink Floyd's done in the same period of time.

At his worst, More's late 70s/early 80s pop/new wave records are like the bastard child of John Cale and Brian Eno, without sounding like John Cale and Brian Eno.

Flying Doesn't Help is a great album.

It's actually been a while since I've listened to _The Division Bell_ so I decided to listen to it again, without prejudice.
[…].

iirc there are a few YT essays about it, the lighting guys must have been in on it, I saw two of the nights at Earl's Court in '94 and both times the words appeared during an oil-projection section and were hastily scribbled out, very perplexing.

I would probably read a big book on Usenet lore in general lol

I agree with all of this. Also, interesting to recall how this album came out just at the dawn of online culture and gave birth to this really confused publicity stunt on Usenet called the “Publius Enigma”: basically the band or its management greenlighted some weird on-line treasure hunt that was never resolved (there were “clues” in concerts and on record covers, as I recall) — stimulating some really weird online fan behaviour, as I recall. Someone should write something on that, as it’s almost lost in history by now.

― johanlif

heya, good to know you're still around Johan. been a while :)

the thing that gets me about the publius enigma is how much the "weird internet mystery" youtubers get _wrong_, how much bullshit they talk about it.

the publius enigma posts came from anon.penet.fi, that was _the_ big anonymous posting server before scientology lawsuits shut it down (that's probably what it's best remembered for, if anything - its involvement in the scientology thing). that light show at that floyd concert, i guess that's what got people buzzing about it really. i guess somebody connected with floyd. i don't know if they ever talked about it or admitted it. there was a lot of ill-conceived online marketing. maybe douglas adams was involved. he was really big on the internet - really big on anything that allowed him to avoid actually writing. used to post some on alt.fan.douglas-adams, if i remember correctly.

anyway i was on amp-f (alt.music.pink-floyd, that's what we call it, to this day) from the beginning... i think it was founded around '94, with the tagline "Sold out shows everywhere." i'd been on the Echoes listserv before then. i didn't take the publius enigma seriously, and i was kind of a loud asshole about it. i pissed a lot of people off, back in the day. sometimes they even had good reasons for being pissed off. even when the light show came around at - what was it, giants stadium? - sometime in july, i didn't take it seriously for a second. it was a bunch of meaningless new-age mystical bullshit. "There is an Enigma. Trust." What the fuck? I'm supposed to trust some blithering asshole posting through a server literally anyone could post to? So there were a couple of words at a light show. It still didn't _mean_ a goddamn thing. There was no _substance_ to it, no purpose. Just like The Division Bell itself, really. Utterly superficial, utterly meaningless.

and then of course there were the crackpots. joe and sandy, who insisted that the publius enigma was about jesus, that they knew dave gilmour _personally_ and he was _very into evangelical christianity_. this was... not a credible claim. and then there was denise sharpe, who outright had erotomania. believed that dave gilmour was in love with her and was sending her messages through lucky charms cereal. gilmour was on a mission, she said, to spread the truth that carl palmer was homosexual. i mean on paper it's funny but it's also terribly sad. terribly sad. she wound up voting for trump, of course.

a lot of us still talk. mostly on facebook, though, so i'm not really part of it, not having been on facebook in ages.

I would probably read a big book on Usenet lore in general lol

― brimstead

usenet was great - i mean a lot of it sucked, it wasn't _that_ great - but it was great and i miss it. not sure whether mary ann horton writing uuencode doomed it or is the reason anybody knows about it all today. structurally it wasn't good. too much "trust", not enough "verify". usenet was where spam started out, if i remember correctly. serdar argic's denial of the armenian genocide, john gruber, the green card lottery. i heard a lot of people here came from alt.music.alternative. never my stomping ground. my main stomping ground was, well, alt.music.pink-floyd. anyone who spent any time at all over there ran into my posts one way or another. :) shittest part about usenet is that it's basically inaccessible... one is that it was ephemeral, it really doesn't make any sense going back and reading it, and two is that even if you did, there's no interface like tin or Agent to give it structural context. i consider all that stuff basically lost.

I was going to post that Usenet is archived on Google Groups, but I just learned that Google announced earlier this year they're no longer allowing new posts to usenet. Existing usenet posts will remain archived, but their search tools are supposedly awful so it's hard to find anything there. So I guess Usenet is officially dead now...

less'n you fuck with nzb files :) (i don't, for the record)

anyway google groups was never really usenet. not even close. their usenet archive is something i'd call out specifically as being bad. there's also a question of completeness. back when DejaNews was first coming around there was a whole movement to put the X-No-Archive: Yes header in so that archiving services wouldn't archive those posts. i don't know if that header is being respected these days. i'd argue against it, since usenet is now a historical archive. also, i used X-No-Archive: Yes from the time it started up, and obviously no Usenet archive could be worth a damn if it didn't have my old shitposts in it.

That guy's interviews are absolute must see for Floyd fans.
