Production is def straightforward and not-that-considered for sure. The songs are so plainspoken and unassuming though, it kind of works.

Yeah, it's like the last document of the band when they could still be a bit more carefree with their material. After Dark Side, it was a whole different ball game, as they say.

haha that is awesome please send a screenshot
Thanks one and all. I have spent quite a bit of time over the years trying to imagine how I might make a painting based around Floyd. I ruled out portraiture or even creating a composite image of the band onstage. Nothing seemed right. Anyway I finally found the right image and it made sense in light of the kind of things I've been doing in painting of late. And I loved the idea of alot of different kinds of time (the ancient location, the filmed documentation, the performance of the band, and my memories of being there) collapsing on one another. And then the structure of the painting just kind of came together and I started to pursue it from that direction.

New album in October. All we know so far:
• It's called The Endless River• Rick Wright plays on it• Youth (Killing Joke) is involved in some way (he posted as much on Facebook)
No idea if Roger Waters is on it, but I certainly hope so...

Yeah, I was just reading on the Steve Hoffman forums. There's a quote there from Durga McBroom, one of their background singers since the 90s:
"The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled "The Big Spliff" that Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them."

Wait this new record is coming out as a PF album? Weird.

Actually seems like it'll be more of a PF record than Momentary Lapse -- Wright and Mason actually play on it, and it (apparently) has Waters' blessing.

On one hand it's intriguing and I can't help but think they'd like to go out on something better than the Division Bell. On the other hand it reeks of gimmicky grave robbing. But knowing dave it will be tasteful to a fault- better than DB but not good enough for more than a handful of listens.

I'd rather have an official release of Scream Thy Last Scream and Vegetable Man than this, but whatever.
― akm, Saturday, 5 July 2014 20:20 (nine years ago) link
yes it is coming out as a PF album. DG is also releasing a solo album. We'll see. I like On an Island just fine, it seems like a better PF album than anything else since Final Cut.

3D60 version utterly worth the extra $$$ (and significantly better than the original mix).

We hiked up to Echo Mountain last night to watch all the fireworks shows in Los Angeles from one location. It's become a July 4th tradition - there's a big group of people that make the hike and the views are tremendous. Plus all the fireworks shows from the Rose Bowl, Dodger Stadium, Long Beach, Disneyland, assorted anarchists in Altadena, etc.
Anyway, as we left to make the hike down we heard some amplified music coming out of the bushes on the hillside. One lone guy sitting on a rock: contemplating the void of the city as all the fireworks go off, with "Comfortably Numb" cranked way way up.

Single-serving website all about the time PF played Kent St. in 1973. Choice quote:
"You wanna know what the mood of that place was? Roger scorned me. Roger Waters personally scorned me from being able to be up on stage when every other major act I'd worked with had no problem with this.
