I took that quiz.

it was one of the low points of my life.

Enjoyed listening to that podcast of the concert. It all sounds just like the Pink Floyd, except for the drums.

dan....me too...and me too

it is really good. the "Interstellar Overdrive" is spot on. love how it goes into "Astronomy Domine" at the end.

The Mason bandwagon rolls on:

‘Unattended Luggage’

Nick Mason to release vinyl and cd box sets of his three solo albums

Including...

‘Fictitious Sports’

‘Profiles’

‘White of the Eye’

Released August 31, 2018

For the first time in over 20 years, Nick Mason’s solo albums, ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’, ‘Profiles’ and ‘White of the Eye’ will be available in both CD and vinyl three-disc boxsets. Released on 31 August through Warner Music, these limited edition box sets will be available shortly before Nick tours Europe with his acclaimed new band Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets.

Nick Mason is one of the biggest selling artists of all time. A co-founding member of Pink Floyd, he is the only constant member of the group, performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows. In May of this year, Nick debuted his new band Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets with four intimate shows in London (Camden Dingwalls 20 May and The Half Moon in Putney 21, 23 and 24 May) to an incredible reception.

Unattended Luggage is a further celebration of Nick Mason and his undeniably significant contribution to music. The set contains;

‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’ - Nick’s debut solo album which was originally released in 1981 and saw him collaborate with a variety of different musicians including Robert Wyatt and Carla Bley.

‘Profiles’ - A collaboration with 10cc guitarist Rick Fenn, it was Nick’s second album outside of Pink Floyd and was released in 1985 as ‘Mason + Fenn’. This is a mainly instrumental album except for tracks ‘Lie for a Lie’, which features vocals from Maggie Reilly and former bandmate David Gilmour and ‘Israel’, sung by UFO keyboardist Danny Peyronel.

‘White of the Eye’ - A soundtrack for a British thriller movie of the same name, Nick once again collaborated with Rick Fenn. Originally released in 1987, in conjunction with the film's release, this is the first time the record has been made available for over 20 years, and the first time it will appear on CD.

Nick Mason says, "These recordings hold a very special place for me in my musical life. 'Fictitious Sports' developed initially from working with Mike Mantler, Carla Bley and Robert Wyatt on a couple of their projects, and benefited enormously from a whole crew of great musicians that I was introduced to by them at Grog Kill Studios in Woodstock.

“'Profiles' and 'White of the Eye' were an extension of working with Rick Fenn on some advertising and short documentary film soundtracks, which then developed into something more.

“Listening back after 30 odd years, I'm delighted they are getting the reissue treatment. I’m rather hoping that sales will be sufficient to damage the market in the original rare vinyl versions!”

Unattended Luggage will be available in both CD and vinyl three LP boxsets.

The individual albums ‘Nick Mason’s Fictitious Sports’, ‘Profiles’ and ‘White of the Eye’ will all be available as a download and through streaming platforms.

Love "Fictitious Sports"!

Nick Mason is one of the biggest selling artists of all time

I know! One of, not "The"

Needs to have the CD of Mason’s racing car sounds.

Thematic cd, tracks with sounds of cars on them!

Kraftwerk, Autobahn.
Otway&Barrett, Jet Spotter of the track

and so on..

not sure anyone cares about these albums beyond fictitious sports but, ok

profiles is ok. i mean not great, but fairly unobjectionable.

that is a piece of rubbish.

haha it sure is

inside: dead gnomes

a saucerful of secrets turns 50 tomorrow

god damn looks like a hospital paint job

Saw this in the store today and I want to read it.

recently saw a nine-year-old play "comfortably numb" on ukulele during a backyard bbq ... ruled.

Nothing on a ukulele rules. Quite the opposite, in fact.

No exceptions.

damn you really roasted that 9-year-old

Not their fault.

pretty sure that comfortably numb is incapable of not ruling, just a lil scientific fact

PINK FLOYD RULES

i think it's safe to conclude the sheer fact that PINK FLOYD RULES created a Rule Bubble in space-time extending to that ukulele during the duration of "Comfortably Numb"

Tiny Tim ftw

she also played "hey soul sister" by train, did not rule

Back to that ebaycupboard

The statuette is quite impressive, mind

Hey uke

Out there playing things, always having nylon strings

WTF is with all this uke talk when there's a new two-part, 13 minute long breakdown of Gilmour's delay settings.

There is no E-Flat piano concerto. Matter of fact it's all flat.

Never realized the early recordings with "Lucy Leave" were done at the same Decca studio where the Beatles did their audition tape early 1962.

Got a copy of the Kopp book! He thinks "Astronomy Domine" might have been influenced by this (was the B-side of "Get Me to the World on Time"):

oh god that sounds a ton like astronomy domine

pink floyd rule and all but that prunes stockholm '67 set leaves the live syd stuff i've heard in the dust

It's part of PF lore that Rick Wright quotes a fragment of the vocal melody of See Emily Play right on the fade out of Shine On... I can kinda hear it but it has always sounded like a bit of a stretch to me, has anyone seen/read a confirmation that this was intentional?

It occurs at 12'12" and it's the 'Emily Tries, but misunderstands' bit, in case you don't already know.

Boy, I don't hear it. Between the saxophone and the guitar arpeggios that seem to be in both channels (?), all I'm hearing are keyboard chords in the middle.

It's a fragment, right as it starts to fade -

https://youtu.be/8UXircX3VdM?t=25m23s

Apologies, I should have clarified that it takes place during Parts 6-9, not 1-5.

not only was it intentional, in some live versions they quote "arnold layne" at the end.

i'm less convinced that the nod to the "doctor who" theme in the studio "one of these days" was originally intentional. obviously the '87-onward versions contain an intentional nod to it, and i've heard bootlegs from as early as '73 that explicitly reference the theme, but for me at least the jury's still out on the "meddle" version.
