What's the Early Years box set?!
― Iago Galdston, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:35 (eight years ago) link
fabled.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 13:41 (eight years ago) link
It is fabled because it's been talked about since before EMI got fucked. I know somebody who is part of the team, but I can't say much unfortunately :(

I've concluded it doesn't matter much if it ever comes out or not. The Immersion Editions that did show up pretty conclusively show that they don't really have crap sitting around in their archives that you can't hear in pristine quality on bootleg.
― rushomancy, Tuesday, 21 April 2015 23:06 (eight years ago) link
If there is such stuff lying around I would buy it on an official release but not a bootleg, so it does matter if it comes out.

We need a official Pink Floyd Bootleg Series of Ruling more than any more Immersion sets. Probably make more money too.
― Love, Wilco (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 08:25 (eight years ago) link
Immersion set of just like Relics with three cds of singles live cuts alt version would rule so hard
― droit au butt (Euler), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 09:11 (eight years ago) link
expanded deluxe Relics is a great idea
― demonic mnevice (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 22 April 2015 14:33 (eight years ago) link
YESalso YES to a bootleg series.#pinkfloydrules

Staying up late downloading PINK FLOYD bootlegs. Unbelievably I don't have a copy of that Town Hall gig.

Absolutely dire. Sounds like an outtake from About Face.
There's also a "making of" featurette going around in which Gilmour says the main riff was inspired by a jingle he heard at a French railway station. Maybe keep that to yourself, eh David?
― anthony braxton diamond geezer (anagram), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 10:06 (eight years ago) link
I think all the old guys from prog bands (or even people like brian wilson) need one young, advant garde, funky/grungy rocker to turn an old, sterile sound into something with teeth.
I expected worse from a new solo Gilmour song. The keyboard theme makes a nice groove. It just isn't enough to bring this song out of retirement
― The Once-ler, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 13:08 (eight years ago) link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaA_-53H1LIThe problem here is that this merely features Brian and the indie band sounds millenial as opposed to 60's, 70's or 90's
I can't expect to find any good, young, artsy, funky/grungy skronkers these days
― The Once-ler, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 13:43 (eight years ago) link
Any frenchman will recognise the riff as the national railways jingle (SNCF):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIMT7JImkHc

baaderonixx, that's dead on to the part I like in Rattle That Lock. lol

I didn't mind a lot of 'On An Island', there was a charm about that kinda somnambulant, hushed dadrock. But this new thing is all pastel colours, suit jackets with shoulder pads and bassists with colourful ethnic waistcoats, hope the rest of the record isn't a hopeless pile of junk.

I'd be really happy if he took more notes from Manzanera and went all early 80s Roxy Music.
― dan selzer, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:32 (eight years ago) link
that'd be good. feel like gilmour is the kind of guy who should just be locked in a studio for a day w/ his guitars/amps -- what he'd come up with that way would probably be better than this blando stuff.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 22 July 2015 16:37 (eight years ago) link
A remixer du jour might be more beneficial in this case. Hey, quite a few Balearic heads loved The Endless River.

what was the consensus on Metallic Spheres?
― a silly gif of awkward larping (Sparkle Motion), Wednesday, 22 July 2015 21:08 (eight years ago) link
Not sure but this article mentions a full recitation of Metallic Spheres at Cafe Mambo (at sunset but sans Gilmour, sadly) and further explores the Floyd/Balearic link.
― doug watson, Thursday, 23 July 2015 02:43 (eight years ago) link
what did the folks that post on this thread think of it? I gave it a couple of listens and it didn't register. My wife (a floyd fan) asked why I was listening to Joe Satriani.

I miss Prindle, actually. His reviews weren't for everyone, but I always found 'em entertaining.

Oh my God I have just spent a good 15 minutes laughing uncontrollably. That review is one of the funniest fucking things I've ever read. Thanks for making my day.
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 24 July 2015 13:38 (eight years ago) link
That was definitely good to read againI listened to Metallic Spheres the other night. It's just as unmemorable as anything DG has produced in years. On An Island is still about as good as solo Dave gets, I think.

Heya, I need some help from the hivemind identifying a ROIO, I seem to have mislaid it and am a little sketchy on the specifics.
It's from London and I'm quite certain it is one of the Empire Pool dates from '74, what would make it easier to identify however is the taper can be heard for quite a while at the start, he's being quizzed about his gear and, iirc, has a cheerful northern accent. Can anybody help?

This is from an interview with David Gilmour in latest Mojo. File under: people who seem to have figured out how to live
"Inside the cosy, busy and slightly messy kitchen, his son Joe lolls in a corner chair, playing dextrous arpeggios on an acoustic guitar as Gilmour's author and lyricist wife Polly Samson appears through an adjoining door, smiling and puffing on a roll-up. The couple have lived here for 21 years and together they seem to have settled into an arrangement that benefits both their creative and family lives. "Polly and I sort of have different priority working times," Gilmour says. "She sometimes is writing a book, and I sort of take a back seat. When the kids are at school, I can go in the studio and work. But I've got to be done and wrap up whatever I'm doing so I can make them supper."

listening to The Wall for the first time in years
Roger Waters kinda had a lot of 'issues'

not the best thread to admit it, but i probably haven't listened to all four sides of the wall in ... 16 years?

I listened to The Wall when the remasters came out. Sounded good but still pretty fucking tedious.
― EZ Snappin, Monday, 5 October 2015 22:28 (eight years ago) link
yeah i have listened to animals fairly regularly over the years... the wall just seems comical to me at this point.
― tylerw, Monday, 5 October 2015 23:01 (eight years ago) link
The wall's too long but there's so much cool stuff. Cool sounds. Lots of it scared me as a kid, the menacing Palm muting and heavy snares. "Run like hell" is the best.
― brimstead, Monday, 5 October 2015 23:01 (eight years ago) link
I think the last time I listened to The Wall in full was about 2 years ago, but I hadn't listened to it in full for a good while before then. The production on The Wall has really held up, I think - the album still sounds great. My attitude towards The Wall as a piece, though, has changed a hell of a lot with the passing of time. I definitely think The Wall is a record for sulky teenagers, really. In adulthood, I probably find the record as comical as tylerw does.

Even as a sulky teenager, I had this problem with falling asleep partway into disc II.
