PINK FLOYD

That set is an abomination

I still have yet to hear a note of Endless River.

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.

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.

peace at last = i meant 'peace be with you'

The most irrationally overpriced boxed set in history. They continue to innovate.

Ahoy matey, etc.

And also with you.

i'm like the only person who likes the endless river
it's like classic rock ambient

Pink Floyd's Pink Floyd Announces New Project That Excites Fans Extremely

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?

I am moderately excited

Here I was thinking that they had replaced David Gilmour with Nuno Bettencourt.

John Lennon, Jesus Christ, Chief Joseph and... the Texas flag.

I'd probably wear that shirt if I hung out in a room like that too.

rather than send the s-k thread further off-topic: in what ways, by the late 70s, was mason 'contributing' more than wright?

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.

Didn't he have some drug issues around that time?

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.

lol this rules

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

"Special thanks from the band to Rick Wright."

Sounds like Wright wasted the hours in an offhand way

Sounds like Pink Floyd had too many dicks to make room for a pianist.

I mean, he probably wasn't wrong?

rick should have offered some lyrics as his contribution; i'm sure that would have gone well

"Here's one, Roger, about how my dad and I used to go fishing together..."

Scenario: fire Waters after Obscured By Clouds and replace him with Geesuin

well, perhaps not

LEMMY

"Here's one, Roger, about how my dad and I used to go fishing together..."

Brutal.

He did put out a solo album in 1978, maybe he'd used up all his chord changes on there.

Ran out of one night stands to write about.

YES HE CERTAINLY DID. god that album is literally nothing but fucking chord progressions.

He was good at them though.

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.

that's something i'd listen to, somebody writing an album of actual songs with actual melodies based on the "wet dream" chord progressions

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.
