I still have yet to hear a note of Endless River.
― the public eating of beans (Sparkle Motion), Thursday, 29 August 2019 15:49 (four years ago) link
I saw that 1987 tour — I was 15, maybe 16 — and it was like going to a Laser Floyd show or to see a cover band. I don't even remember what the album (Lapse) sounded like, and have never heard Division Bell or Endless River, never mind the live albums.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Thursday, 29 August 2019 16:23 (four years ago) link
the finalized track listing of that box is awfully disappointing. No Big Spliff, no Carerra Panamerica (which i'd heard wasn't making it because Gilmour doesn't like it, but still), no Peace At Last (which I hear got pulled at the last minute). All of that would maybe be ok if they didn't want $500 for this. I don't see it selling well, and it'll just make the vaguely curious resort to piracy.

and by that I mean: I will definitely download the MLOR remix. I'm sure that's vastly improved (I don't dislike that album as much as others do). The rest doesn't hold a huge amount of interest to me.

Really glad Endless River came up here because I too hadn't heard it (except the single which is meh) and it's kinda great. According to wiki Andy Gill called it "faux-psychedelic dinner-party muzak". Like that was a bad thing?

rather than send the s-k thread further off-topic: in what ways, by the late 70s, was mason 'contributing' more than wright?
― mookieproof, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:36 (four years ago) link
The nature of their contributions was always different. I think with Mason, he could be relied on to come up with the appropriate parts, and maybe make an arrangement suggestion here or there, or bring in sound effects. Whereas with Wright, he'd co-written significant, and defining, parts of DSOTM and WYWH, but was no longer coming up with anything at all. They apparently expected more from him than comping along with the chord changes.

There's a good story in the Mark Blake bio about producer credits on The Wall. Previous albums had always said "produced by Pink Floyd", although neither Mason nor Wright had ever done any actual production work. This time Waters wanted the producer credits to say Ezrin/Waters/Gilmour. Mason agreed to this but Wright wanted a producer credit and so sat around in the studio from morning to night saying things like "I don't like that" in the belief that this showed he was co-producing the record. Needless to say, he didn't get the credit.

Credits should've read "Produced by Ezrin/Waters/Gilmour. Not liked by Wright."

i mean don't get me wrong they're good chord progressions but i feel like there's possibly more to music than just chord progressions? and based on "wet dream" wright might possibly have felt differently.
― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Saturday, 23 November 2019 16:31 (four years ago) link
that's something i'd listen to, somebody writing an album of actual songs with actual melodies based on the "wet dream" chord progressions
― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Saturday, 23 November 2019 16:32 (four years ago) link
Yeah, this is pretty nice look at later Floyd. Favorite tidbit, Douglas Adams from looking at the lyrics found the album title "The Division Bell".

Got to say, if you are going to be a cash loaded rock star, buying a fancy house boat on the Thames and turning into a recording studio is a pretty ace way to use your cash. Way cooler than a castle, but I bet Gilmour probably has a one of those too.
