PINK FLOYD

TOTAL ECLIPSE.

/rimshot

Am I the only one who stans for the Divsion Bell? It probably helps that it was my first Floyd album; I didn't have to compare it to any earlier Floyd. But I still love half of that album today.

I'll freely admit I've never heard a note of it.

I like Division Bell better than Momentary Lapse and Final Cut. I feel that in every song they try to create the feel of some of their past albums. There is a Meddle song in there, a Wish one, etc. It also lays focus on the beauty of Gilmour's voice, so often obscured in the past by Waters gnarl. Overall the album is pleasantly boring - just as Gilmour's latest solo release -, while the last song is a true Pink Floyd classic.

^ God, I love that song. When my 15 year old self heard that song, I spend many hours trying to figure out "what it meant" - one of my first obsessed-over songs.

That's the only song I know off of Division Bell. It RULES.

I hear the new remasters are just

TOTAL ECLIPSE.

Now is only the Pink Floyd - who rule - had the guts to turn the Total Eclipse bootleg box into an Immersion one.

Then they would rule even more!

how did i miss that the DSOTM immersion set comes with a fucking scarf!?

that rules.

and coasters!

And marbles. Don't forget the marbles.

And...are those trading cards?

how cool would it be to just relax w/ your scarf, your marbles and trading cards while listening to the floyd. someday.

It seems like a glaring oversight that it doesn't include anything that could be used as a delivery system.

The yet to be announced A.H.M. Immersion set will come with a Lazy Susan for your own "Psychedelic Breakfast" and it will rule.

I think for later Immersion they should consult some of the goods on this fine thread.

btw PINK FLOYD RULES

Saw some pink floyd t-shirts that are actually cool. More clothing stores should do the full print thing on t-shirts looks way better than having a black tee with a simple square album cover printed on the center (unless it's a PF album cover, in which case it rules no matter how it's printed)

Okay, so The Wall also sounds amazing with the current remastering. Did any of these end up sounding "just ok" so I can avoid buying them all?

I'm a "piper should be only listened to in mono" purist so you can skip that one

though they're planning an immersion version of that too

I have that nice Piper stereo/mono/singles thing from a few years ago so I'm good with that. Tempted to just keep my mono Saucer mp3s too.

I played the "alternate" Matilda Mother to Alice, and she immediately recognised the words from her copy of Hilaire Beloc's Cautionary tales.

She's well read, our Alice.

I kind of think they should milk Floyd fans with lots of different ways to get this stuff. I mean, I'm not going to ever shell out $100+ for the immersion boxes but I would plunk down for the disc of outtakes released as a standalone in a heartbeat.

Good on Alice!

I too would like to get the tunes minus a scarf and trading cards. Regardless, right now "Waiting For The Worms" is owning my ass.

I would plunk down for the disc of outtakes released as a standalone in a heartbeat.

Ditto. The fact that you have to spend $150 minimum just to get two Household Objects songs (one on the DSOTM immersion set, one on the WYWH experience set) does not rule.

will the audience convene at one fifteen outside brixton town hall where we will be

yes. has anyone umm, found that last DSOTM immersion disc, ummm anywhere? ummm.

when I was a kid I thought the "reds" in "waiting for the worms" was a slur on native americans

I was like o man why do fascists hate indians

first time i heard a lot of those slurs -- queers, coons -- was on that album. uncle rog was telling his nieces and nephews the world can be one shitty place

"And that one's got SPOTS!" … again, The Wall was quite the comedy album for me and the other fourth-graders.

I thought he meant like "I'm seein' spots!" in the manner of Looney Tunes or something.

and another with spots!
if i had my way, i'd have all o' you shot!

pinkfloyd started following you

you guys

me too! don't know what i should do.

you should rule, too, obviously.

If they start following me too I'll let you know.

are there any bloggers in the audience tonight?
GET EM UP AGAINST THE WALL

yes. has anyone umm, found that last DSOTM immersion disc, ummm anywhere? ummm.

Yes. The entire box can (could) be found online. Lossless, even.

The Household Objects song is a bit daft. No substance at all. The Richard Wright and Roger Waters demos are very beautiful. The early mix of DSOTM is interesting to listen too once, but the final version of the album is better in many, many ways. The Travel Sequence and Morality Sequence tracks are already known from many bootlegs. And rule!

i've been hooked up by someone who obviously rules.
listening to the alt mix. so weird to not have the lady singer on greatest gig. i mean, i'd heard the early live versions without that, but the studio version is something else altogether.

ugh, also redonkulous that on a big huge $100+ immersion set, they can't put out a full, live early version of DSOTM. obviously available on bootlegs, but in mostly cruddy audience recordings. the live "travel/mortality" sequences sound rad here. what shows are they from, the rainbow gigs?

is that the "in the celebration of the comet" one? w/the thing from fantastic 4 on the cover?

i have that in my office on vinyl right now? how much does that go for?

yeah i think that's from the rainbow shows. i will pay you at least a million dollars for that.

kinda digging the household objects snippet. slight, maybe, but it still rules.

I was happy to hear that snippet too, but I think they were right to abandon the idea.

got the big new Wish box here now, going to go through it this weekend. RULES.

also has anyone heard these newly remastered Dark Side and Wish vinyl releases? They are absolutely fantastic, have never heard these albums sound so good.

I had a Dark Side of the Moon dream last night. It's pretty TMI and I didn't want to bring it onto this thread, so I'm linking to it:

what's happening to our borad TMI

Maybe the first one in that dream was actually this:
