PINK FLOYD

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.

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.

Youth was also involved that Gilmour / The Orb team-up: The Orb and David Gilmour -- Metallic Spheres

HA! I think I predicted this one.....

3D60 version utterly worth the extra $$$ (and significantly better than the original mix). Comparison points are the Global Communication/Chapterhouse remix album.

Would loved to have heard this as a Pink Floyd album, especially with Wright's input.

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.

There's no way Charles Barkley would've ever said that.

Gilmour on the other hand...

A new, Gaelic language doc about PF on BBC Alba right now.

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.

I stopped following this thread for various reasons so forgive me if this has ever been posted but I've never seen it. The Soft Boys on their 2001 reunion tour do Astronomy Domine as encore and are joined on guitar by Gilmour:

I had another listen to the BBC 'Record Producers' documentary that came out around the first Immersion releases.

Any non brits that might have missed it can find it here: https://vimeo.com/71353120

It's a 'classic albums' format, but across the first half of their career, lotsa multitrack snooping!

Instrumentals rule.

phil manzanera?

He and Dave are buds. Manzanera produced and played on (and toured behind?) the last Gilmour album.

Co-wrote a song on Momentary Lapse of Reason.

Gilmour plays on that Manzanera album that was basically Roxy - Ferry + Eno. Gilmour worked with Ferry a bunch.

What a shame about the cover.

Phil played with Gilmour on jools holland when they did that great Richard wright tribute.

that Gilmour Jools Holland take on "Remember the Day" is one I watch like once a month, rules so hard

cloud rock

cloudy pink kills rock

fuck, should have done "cloudy pink kills prog".

lol 'listen' listen to what that was 5 seconds long argh

Waters: stop asking me if I'm on the new Pink Floyd record.

"Some people have been asking Laurie, my wife, about a new album I have coming out in November," Waters wrote. "Errhh? I don't have an album coming out, they are probably confused. David Gilmour and Nick Mason have an album coming out. It's called Endless River. David and Nick constitute the group Pink Floyd. I on the other hand, am not part of Pink Floyd. I left Pink Floyd in 1985, that's 29 years ago. I had nothing to do with either of the Pink Floyd studio albums, Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell, nor the Pink Floyd tours of 1987 and 1994, and I have nothing to do with Endless River. Phew! This is not rocket science people, get a grip."

In other words: nick and david are now getting an attention and I'm not.
Hey, I'm here too!

Actually there are some subdisciplines of rocket science which consist of knowing which Floyd records have roger waters on them.

one of my first college physics professors, a dude wearing sandals in front of a 500-student lecture hall, would play dark side on the stereo before class started

we thought he was ~~cool~~

NEW SONG "LOUDER THAN WORDS"

pink floyd rules

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/david-gilmour-on-pink-floyd-its-a-shame-but-this-is-the-end-20141009

Mark Knopfler thinks this song is too sleepy and tasteful.

On facebook I called the "The Dogs of Bore"

this song sounds exactly how you'd expect

"We bitch and we fight / Diss each other on sight / But this thing we do,"

"Let's go with the flow wherever it goes"

They sound like a mega rich classic rock band.

everyone relaaaaaax
we are mega rich classic rock band
[guitar solo]
pink floyd ruuuuuuules
[fade out]

tiny sample size but that makes 'the division bell' sound like 'wish you were here'

i wonder what they are gonna invest in with their last big haul

Gilmour: "Hmmm...I do own a houseboat, but now I can own ALL the houseboats!"

this song is boring in a sort of comforting way that rules

stumbled upon a dailymotion trove of shreds style videos, some pretty funny examples (I'm easy). Floyd gets the treatment here:

"new" one is the best floyd album since the wall i'd say. going almost all instrumental was a wise decision

It's on Spotify now, fwiw.
