pink floyd was my gateway drug into all kinds of ridic music, mostly on the new agey and keyboard and drone and echoing guitar tip. i listen to all kinds of music and i think i can trace it back somehow to the floyd.

Christmas Eve, I had dinner with one of my best friends and his girlfriend. I listened to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. After the first side, I was very surprised that we were already halfway through, that it's only a single album.

We did the whole stupid Wizard of Oz thing 15 years ago, and one of my friends whom I thought had listened to every record ever recorded leans and says, "Huh, that Dark Side album wasn't what I was expecting." I'm incredulous, "What? THAT was your first time hearing that record? Here on the floor of Josh's house with Judy Garland on the VCR?"
He says yeah, didn't realize that there would be all those snippets of people talking.

lol Mr Veg and I did the Wizard of Oz thing not long after we met - accompanied by a box of lol whipits
I feel like I saw maybe 5 minutes of the actual thing and spent the rest of the movie having much better dreams about it

The Echoes/2001 thing works better and, Lord, only takes 20 minutes.

ridic new agey keyboard drone music could easily be another board on ILX.

i spent two years of lolcollege living with huge stoners, so we did the Oz/Dark Side thing quite a few times. we also did the Wish You Were Here/It's a Wonderful Life one but i hardly remember anything about it other than it being a huge stretch.

I still love it, but I listen to DSOTM the least out of the middle period. However the parallel dimension early mix on the Immersion box is interesting to listen to.
― MaresNest, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:26 (ten years ago) link
as long as we all agree that PINK FLOYD RULES then any views on DSOTM are cool
― Euler, Tuesday, 7 January 2014 20:27 (ten years ago) link
DSOTM is sometimes my most favorite floyd album

There was a plan to remix OBC because they weren't happy with the production, dunno if that has been junked. The early years box set is still on the cards though, what form it will take is uncertain.

"This Hans Keller" was a very important figure in contemporary classical music in the UK, but he always liked his stuff with a bit of a tune.
― Three Word Username, Friday, 10 January 2014 21:58 (ten years ago) link
this hans keller was an asshole as far as i can tell from this interview
― nostormo, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:00 (ten years ago) link
He could really play and worked hard to expose high quality modern music on the tv. He was also an Austrian snob. No contradiction there.
― Three Word Username, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:03 (ten years ago) link
who puts "an important figure in classical music" to judge rock acts on tv?well, it was the sixties on the other hand..
― nostormo, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:06 (ten years ago) link
He had a famous bit where he got a couple of stage hands to beat on some drums and play with some oscillators, and he introduced it as an important new work by modern Polish composer Piotr Zak. The "a-ha!" reveal came a few weeks later, but its impact was dulled when most of the critics he thought he'd embarrass called the work crap.
― Three Word Username, Friday, 10 January 2014 22:09 (ten years ago) link
I just love that there was a time when a TV host would introduce a band he was hosting on his show by saying he found them "quite boring".

Coooool
I have embraced the crappy tape machine in my car by getting on Ebay and re-buying old cassettes that I had as a teen, including WYWH, Umagumma and DSOTM. Unfortunately for some reason it has to be the exact EMI 70s or 80s editions with the gold banding on the cover and the off white or cream tape shells, and they aren't that cheap.

Pretty sure the new Airbag album, The Greatest Show On Earth, is one of the most Pink Floyd sounding thing ever. Which makes sense, considering Airbg began life as an PF tribute band, but still. It's such a slavish imitation of Floyd that I should probably hate it, but goddamn their guitar player is really great and the whole thing is actually pretty great.

I have heard them because they are on the last cover CD with Prog magazine but it didn't make an indent, I will revisit. I'm partial to PF influenced bands (apart from Porcupine Tree). North Atlantic Oscillation are taking their time with a new rekkid.

Airbag's guitarist runs the mammoth Gilmourish site: http://www.gilmourish.com - which has become one of the better general guitar resources on the whole web.

Didn't notice I used "great" twice there, lol. Had no idea about that site, makes a whole lot of sense.

The previous Airbag album "All Rights Removed" had arguably stronger songs and the same heavy Gilmour influence. I'd suggest sampling this one first. Check also RPWL, another ex-Floyd tribute band whose most recent album, Beyond Man and Time, remained fairly evocative of post-Waters PF:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsyMoBu9j0g
I have difficulty hearing much PF influence with North Atlantic Oscillation, but will rep for them regardless. They've some of the most sophisticated yet effortless chord changes this side of Paddy McAloon or Andy Partridge. A very recent solo album on K-Scope from main composer Sam Healy (credited to Sand) should scratch your itch for new material.
