PINK FLOYD

Dark Side, just lifts you out of yourself.

The lines of the prism formed a heartbeat line inside the gatefold of the vinyl issue and once during "Us & Them" when the lyric "the lines moved side to side", they did.

Ruled

lorrrd have mercy

Why?

Watched this. Didn't tell me anything I didn't already know tbh including that R. Waters is a monumnetally self-important ass.

Gilmour was quite emotional, unusually for him, and I've warmed to Nick Mason over the years but the rest of them: Storm Thorgesen, Aubrey Powell, Gerald Scarfe *shiver*

Saw this two hour ad (my god their videos suck shit! Gets worse with their later, utterly hopeless and unsalvageable music) - getting to the point of cynicism with all the Syd stuff, felt like all the talk/writing songs about him was out-of-place beforehand, and feel that now more than ever.

Don't read the book I name-checked upthread if you want to have any good feelings left.

Just had a look on D3M0N0ID, the WYWH doc is up there.

You know? Wish I could build a time machine and go back to those old Floyd days where you could see them play their guts out to a blazed audience for no money.

This goes for pretty much every 60s&70s band.

can you say more about that book Elvis? is it authorised? interviews with the band etc? who's the dude that's written it? thanks, looks great!

Obscured by Clouds.

Man, you should have hoired him in the 70s! He's modesty personified by comparison, now!

BTW, the latest Marc Maron & Tom Scharpling show has some of the most hilarious PF commentary ever.

Glad to hear it. Not paying money for it though.

oh my god! I just realized that if you play Pink Floyd's Obscured by Clouds at the same time as you watch Barbet Schroeder's The Valley, it syncs up perfectly!

oh my god!

has everyone dealt with this yet?????

I just watched that video again last night. Their new video is amazing.

that gif...it is something

Gave mr Veg the Wall (Experience Edition) for his birthday --- I swear there were no ulterior motives but YAY OMG LOVELY LOUD WALL RULES

A work in progress from the guy who did the big Beach Boys remix project. Floyd's Summer '68 being chopped on top of Audio Two's Top Billin'.

That's sorta horrible.

It's a work in progress. I think it's awesome.

this thread has been through a lot, but that gif posted above really ummmmm

Since the Floyd I had was a few of the original CDs and I found it at a pretty good price on ebay I got the recent Discovery box set with everything remastered. It's been a good five weeks listening. I never had a copy of Atom Heart Mother as I remember hearing it once and thought it was pretty bad. It's not fantastic, but it definitely has been the big surprise of the box set so far(and I still haven't opened The Wall or the later Cds).

It is interesting to look back at Floyd and they kind of really modeled up what became those classic records over a few years and then really nailed it, as there are moments on Atom Heart Mother and the soundtracks that really builds up to the Dark Side and Wish You We're Here.

I think when Rick Wright kind of froze up and quit really being a big part of the music, while they continued to make music and obviously popular, they lost quite a bit of their sound. His relaxed and melodic and droning keys are so much of what makes the Meddle-Dark Side-Wish You We're Here band and the one that made the soundtracks work. It's really the 'body' of their sound and years on into listening to the band, I'm not so sure not the key piece.

They obviously made some good music once Gilmour and Waters got into their thirty year knife fight from Animals on, but really it's not quite the same.

Don't forget Wright's harmony vocals (and leads) as well. Very missed in the later albums.

Listening this morning to live recordings from the Animals tour and the assault on the audience through those vitriolic songs is amazing. A little faster, a little more distortion, the spitting attack of the singing (not to mention the real spit - just starting that Montreal show); it all combines to let the listener feel the frustration and anger and misanthropy. I'm in love.

Yeah, Richard Wright was the one that gave Pink Floyd's sound it's grace both with the keys and his voice.

Hey! Pink Floyd! Leave Those Kids Alone!!

the idea of someone experiencing that gif for the first time on a pink floyd thread in 2012 is kind of amazing

i'm allergic to gifs

we visualize the music, maaaaan

(or something)

the internet's a crazy place, lots of gifs to ignore

I've recently decided Die Antwoord are pretty brilliant, after watching their latest video, Baby's on Fire, because I thought maybe it was an Eno cover. It's not, but the video is many different kinds of entertaining.

r.i.p. that little guy

Leaving those kids alone RULES.

Balancing on the biggest wave RULES.

Rising above the tree lines and the clouds RULES.
