PINK FLOYD

Wow, Best Buy surprisingly ruling!

Xpost

Here's that Shins - Breathe performance. It rules.

How do these new remasters compare to the last go round? I don't really feel like re-buying these all over again. Might fill in the few gaps I have though.

qualmsley's story rules.

listening to this right now. rules.

was just reading the lyrics to "On The Turning Away" & while that song rules, the lyrics are pretty...Live Aid-ish, I guess.

did not know that Phil Manzanera co-wrote "One Slip"! I guess that album's not a million miles away from Avalon, sonically.

As a huge Slapp Happy and Anthony Moore fan, I've always found it awesome he worked with Pink Floyd on that album. Just wish I liked the results better.

I just have awful memories of trying to catch a decent video on MTV at my dad's on the weekend and instead getting that pneumatic intro telling me that yes, here's "Learning to Fly" once again.

Floyd rules, but some more than others.

don't know! i actually have very few floyd albums on CD. vinyl/dubbed cassettes mostly.
but here's a review from amazon
Pink Floyd , is a hard band to EQ. Turn up the highs and lose the lows. It also works the other way around. So having to turn UP your stereo up to massive sound levels of volume just to hear more detail , rarely works [SEE : Steve Hoffman].
JAMES GUTHRIE and Co. , have found a perfect balance between the two.
ANIMALS , has always been remastered way too quiet. Even those Japanese versions left you wanting just a bit.
Animals , was very well recorded to begin with. It just needed a TAD more volume to put it over the edge.
So this 2011 remaster has a little more volume and everything sounds just amazing.
If you liked the sound of the remastered BEATLES' volume and sound , you will just love this. Also , if you loved the volume / cleanliness and clearness of , ECHOS : The Best Of Pink Floyd [e.g. SHEEP] you will also love this version. OR , if you loved Peter Gabriel's 2010 remasters you will just love this regular CD. If you are expecting , LED ZEPPELIN : MotherShip , kind of volume you will be disappointed. As I have written before ; this CD has the perfect balance between too quiet and too loud.
I can also apply this review too the other regular CDs called , The Dark Side of the Moon , Wish You Were Here and Meddle [all a little louder]. Each at a different volume , the sound volume increase suited for each particular CD. Some more volume , more clarity for each different instrument and all wonderful!!!
A Momentary Lapse Of Reason , sounds a little better than the 2005 version which also had some re-mixing done by , Guthrie.
SO , this is not just another rip off and is well worth your money.

Thanks! Was genuinely curious, recent remasters seem really hit-or-miss so I wanted some opinions before I shell out anything.

What about the remix as found on A Collection of Great Dance Songs? Dude never even gets into that.

yeah, i don't now -- kind of want to get animals, but does this mean i'll have to shell out for a deluxe edition next year?

you will have to, because it will rule

8-tracks rule, you can buy them for a quarter.

Without even looking, I bet the sequence on that is all kinds of fucked up.

Hell, the cassette copy I had in junior high even started "Pigs" on side one, faded out, and then continued on side two.

hee hee, mine too! still ruled.

Haha, wtf.

What's so special about a Pink Floyd 8-track? Well the answer is simple: There's a guitar solo performed by British prog-rocker Snowy White that is only on the 8-track release of the album! On the usual release of the album/cd/tape, "Pigs on the Wing Part 1" starts the album, then you have POTW part 2 at the end of the album. However, on the 8-track, both parts are bridged together with this special guitar solo. Because of the endless tape loop on the 8-track cartridge, a bridge was needed so that Pt. 2 could be segued straight after Pt. 1, creating a continuous version of the album. Snowy toured with the band a lot in those days as a second guitarist. Gilmour declined doing the solo and offered it to White. This tape has taken on mythic proportions among both 8-track collectors and fans of Pink Floyd.

I learn something new every day.

shut UP

Snowy White?
get the fuck outta here

this song pretty much rules
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixV9nHFX9UU

Isn't Snowy White one of Waters' tour guys?

xpost I had a friend tell me the new "Dark Side" is much better sounding than the last go-round. Oh, and Gilmour/Manzenera are longtime buds.

Kind of amazing that they'd record something unique to an 8-track. That better be included with the immersion set. Along with a small rubber pig.

Along with a small gigantic rubber pig

One of these ain't quite like the others.

Foo Fighters with Waters on last night's Fallon: http://www.spin.com/articles/foo-fighters-cover-pink-floyd-roger-waters

What about latest re-mastered Piper, Relics? Anybody heard 'em?

just watched a clip of roger doing "in the flesh" with foo fighters on the jimmy fallon show. what rules so far from pink floyd week?

Pink Floyd rules, that's what.

this is probably the wrong thread to ask this on but is the division bell any good?

http://th02.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2011/209/6/8/the_division_bell_cake_1_by_royalblue98-d41xlvg.png

It inspired this, so how can it not rule?

(sorry for huge but it's Floyd + cake, you all can manage)

Oh god, I was still a teen when I really got into Pink Floyd (1994ish) and I liked DB. It is mostly a Gilmour thing and not limp so much as... I lack the word, something like rote?

I also was really into the Pulse live stuff, which is at least competent touring musicians and old men, right?

the thing is there was that whole early-days-of-internet ENIGMA thing w/division bell which was the first time I'd cared about post-Barrett Floyd since my high school stoner days

Omg you followed that on usenet? I thought it was just me! So dumb and unresolved and maybe just a roadie messing around or not even anything. "publius"

still the "I'll give you a sign" thing with the east rutherford show lights was way cool

my pulse box light still pulses. i can't even remember when i got it. much smoke on the water since. god this band rules

this is probably the wrong thread to ask this on but is the division bell any good?

― pathos of the unwarranted encore (underrated aerosmith bootlegs I have owned)

'Marooned' and 'high hopes' are worth the admission price alone. I prefer it to The Wall.

While I'm at it this is how I would personally rate the PF albums:

1. Meedle
2. Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
3. Animals
4. Dark Side of the Moon
5. Wish You Were Here
6. Ummagumma
7. The Division Bell
8. The Wall
9. Atom Heart Mother
10. A Saucerful of Secrets

I've only heard the final cut a couple of times. I found it dull but the holophonic effects sound brilliant on headphones... the whole album has a really nice sound, just no content.

1. The Wall
2. Dark Side
3. Animals
4. Meddle
5. Piper
5. Saucer
6. Wish You Were Here
7. Obscured by Clouds
8. More
9. Umma Gumma
10. Atom Heart Mother
11. Momentary Lapse
12. Division Bell
13. The Final Cut

I've never heard the More soundtrack. Am I missing out?

^^^This dude knows what he's talking about. Xp

pink floyd rules

The nile song rules

Alright that song is pretty gooood. Why does nobody ever mention 'more' when talking about Pink Floyd? It sounds like it predates the ambitions they were going for in Meedle. It's interesting to hear their sound evolving from More into a definite musical entity responsible for one of the best album runs in rock history: meedle>dsotm>animals>wish you were here>the wall. But then again, few bands can RULE as hard as PF.
