PINK FLOYD

THE PINK FLOYD RULES

I'm finally reading Nick Mason's book Inside Out. Nick rules, even if there is roughly zero insight into anything.

i wonder what this Hans Keller thought of them after 10 years or so
xpost

xps the 'one can only imagine a __-year-old disaffected blond boy in washington state must have heard _________ and oh how the world was forever changed' construct gets less effective with each use

"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.

this hans keller was an asshole as far as i can tell from this interview

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.

who puts "an important figure in classical music" to judge rock acts on tv?
well, it was the sixties on the other hand..

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.

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".

Also, they should have kept the "The" in their name, fo sho

"Have you encountered any hostility towards your creations?"

"Yes, from you about ten minutes ago, asshole."

Hans Keller...

"After all, ..... .... Why Not?"

stop it guys! after all - he " was a very important figure in contemporary classical music in the UK"!

and he had a normal conversation with Syd Barrett

Silly angry tone deaf nostormo.

Actually, check out 'Pretties for you' Alice Cooper

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:

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.

Was surprised to find a Pink Floyd reference deep in this NYT article yesterday

Demo recordings from Animals surface: http://www.neptunepinkfloyd.co.uk/listen-to-rare-animals-album-demo-recordings

neato!

Wow, thanks!

Well, these definitely aren't demos... sounds like they're the actual backing tracks that made it to the final record, with different (guide?) vocal takes and some extra overdubs that didn't end up making it to the finished product.

Still: pretty cool!

The official Pink Floyd Facebook page posted this:

Copy/pasting from http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/latest/the-pink-floyd-exhibition-their-mortal-remains.html

Pink Floyd's Official Facebook page has just posted a short but fascinating video (which is also on their official YouTube channel) which has come out of the blue, and which we're sure you'll find just as intriguing - and exciting - as us. You can view it below (if you aren't already, that is)...

As you'll see, it advertises what's called: The Pink Floyd Exhibition - Their Mortal Remains. Taking its title from the lyrics of Nobody Home, we're hoping that it will be similar (but obviously updated, and using the best that modern technology has to bring their story to life) to the 2003 exhibition in Paris, France, some eleven years ago. Interstellar brought together memorabilia, instruments, music, stage props and more in a fascinating tour through the band's history. Regrettably it never appeared elsewhere subsequently. Now, it seems our wishes have been answered with this new exhibition, and whilst there is no information in the video, nor on the new website (PinkFloydExhibition.com) of where and when it is being staged - a no doubt deliberate ploy to tease us - we presume that this will all be revealed soon.

! and also lol that there's zero info, floyd being floyd

That title though :/ sounds like the rest of the band committed mass suicide and they're touring the bodies around like Bobby Kennedy's corpse

or I have an overactive imagination

All in all you're just another vote in the POLL! The Pink Floyd ballot poll thread (ILM Artist Poll Thread #49)

Smart!

Feel free to include anything from Zee, Fictitious Sports

U mad, doggie

So, has anybody checked out this'Extraction Tapes' boot that has just popped?

Some info, seems that Animals monitor mixes shared upthread are included.

I nabbed it from Big O but haven't listened yet.

The original Shine On in it's unbroken state is pretty interesting

just dropping in this thread to let you know that the Pleiadians ‏are definitely into Pink Floyd. i asked them earlier this afternoon:

Pleiadians ‏@PleiadiansInfo 52m
"In a triangle, there are angles that are perfectly conducive for channeling and focusing cosmic energy." #light

Zach Scott ‏@weinventyou 52m
@PleiadiansInfo Is it recommended to listen to Dark Side of the Moon?

@weinventyou Absolutely! Pink Floyd captured the frequency and vibration perfectly and, of course, it's great music too!

Zach Scott ‏@weinventyou 31m
@PleiadiansInfo I intuitively understood this to be true. Thank you!

Pleiadians ‏@PleiadiansInfo 7m
@weinventyou Love and Light!

That early version of "Shine On" is SIIIIIIIIIIIICK

Shout out to the dude blasting "Have A Cigar" from his Camaro this afternoon on Alameda Bl. in Burbank. Keep living the dream.

Listening to a boot of their Boston 1975 show. The recording and performance are great and the set list is untouchable. It's all far too distracting for work today but I can't bear to shut it off.

WOOO PIG(S ON THE WING) SOOIE

For whatever reason I listened to Dave's "Live in Gdansk"- the first disc. It's pretty good- only slightly different from the latter day Floyd live documents, but the band sounds a little more engaged and the arrangements are a bit different. Echoes is easily the highlight. Nice that he gave so much airtime to Wright. Would have been fun to hear that much sound in person.

DVD extra from the "Live in Gdansk" DVD: Gilmour & band do a spur-of-the-moment, semi-acoustic last-5-minutes of "Echoes" at a "Live from Abbey Road" taping.
