PINK FLOYD

Pssh, that pic makes it look like he SLASHES the Box and contents with TEH STANLEY KNIFE!!

(He does not)

jammed out to Momentary Lapse last week, hit that Avalon groove, second side pretty underrated I think.

This seems a brave opinion -- and one I kinda agree with. I hadn't listened to this record in a long, long time until this week - but even if the tracks don't particularly distinguish themselves as songs, (Ezrin's?) atmospherics remain pretty impressive. As a 15 year-old, I enjoyed them. But even now, I find tracks like "Yet Another Movie" pretty appealing -- the orchestral synth washes, the pulsing sequencers, the droney way Gilmour's voice is double tracked and harmonized. Not a lot of stuff sounds like this.

Doh! I never made the Avalon connection with AMLOR... It's so obvious even Manzanera has a co-write.

One of the versions of the "Learning To Fly" single had something called a (DYOL) mix of "Terminal Frost" that had no guitars on it, just the piano + backing track. (DYOL = Do Your Own Lead) Quite nice piece of ambience.

Would be awesome to hear that.

Cosey Fanni Tutti talks about how much Pink Floyd rules

Pink Floyd - Set the Controls for the Heart of The Sun
I saw Pink Floyd quite a few times in the late ‘60s, one of which was at an open air festival. They played this and the notes drifted across the field and I felt consumed by the sound. I wanted to be able to generate that feeling myself, to feel it again and to be able for others to have that overwhelmingly wonderful feeling. It was more about my awakening of the physical power of sound than the track itself, so I guess this track represents another pivotal epiphany moment.

The first time I tried Pandora, my seed song was "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" (which rules) and settled back for the stream of deep hypnotic bliss to follow. The next song Pandora played was the Captain & Tenille's "Love Will Keep Us Together."

Well, Tenille does rule on The Wall...

So who bought The Wall Immersion Box? Speak to me. Is there anybody out there?

this guy!

creepy.

creepy is right.

It's the album, the live album, and some demos. And a DVD with fuckall on it. pass.

yeah the waters demos i've heard don't really excite me too much...

According to Gilmour, Waters had tons of expensive recording equipment in his home studio and had no idea how to work any of it. His demos came out sounding awful (technically and otherwise).

experience version of DSOTM only $2.99 at amazon mp3

wembley disc rules.

I got the Wall box, haven't really dug in yet, really surprised that there are band demos of the Wall material, never ever heard any mention of those, I'd just assumed the only ones were Waters solo demos.

If they manage to pull off the Early Years box, it might be really great, I also found out that they now own that early live recording that surfaced last year after lots of negotiation.

VH-1 Classic is showing the Story Behind Wish You Were Here Saturday at 730.

so I was walking along the Berlin Wall today & thinking, as I am wont to do, "PINK FLOYD RULES"

& what do I see?

Why has no RPGamer ever made a DSOTM 4-sided die?

Is one of those marbles just clear? It'd be cool if it had a tiny pig inside.

i want marbles!

i can't tell about that clear-ish one! there's something in there.
otm about a DSOTM 4-sided die. Disappointed in the world.
been listening to this 1970 bootleg lately. don't think it's the full show, but it's got some serious epics: http://pinkfloydbootlegplanet.blogspot.com/2010/03/pink-floyd-trick-of-light-march-121970.html
rules.

I'm sort of hoping that the clear one has the Meddle ear inside it

I thought the clear marble represented "Wish You Were Here".

(or maybe a fish bowl.)

We're just a tiny pig and the Meddle ear swimming in a fish bowl year after year.

PINK FLOYD RULES

have there been a lot of Floyd polls?

after swimming around with the Stones poll for a couple of weeks I was thinking how much I'd love a Floyd poll. but then I'm kind of poll-addicted right now so dont' mind me too much.

first post of this thread was the poll rollout iirc

POLL FLOYD RULES

I think I volunteered to run the Floyd poll somewhere earlier. I'm still game if there's enough demand.

that would rule, elvis!

"one of these days" is top 3 best driving song of all time

oooohhhhhh t m

also in general best song ever

Ha! For weeks, One Of These Days was my "driving to work" music.

i can still remember the first time i heard 'one of these days' -- some deep cut thing on a classic rock station when i was teen-ish.

i was pretty wau

it's pretty amazing that it was recorded in 1971. it always sounded super ahead of its time to me.

totally.

"One Of These Days" and "Set The Controls..." came up 1-2 on shuffle play today so I claimed the poll - will post here when it's up.

FLOYD POLL RULES

PINK FLOYD ROLLS

http://www.floydianslip.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gilmour_house.jpg

^ this is Dave Gilmour's house, right next to the beach in Brighton. Doesn't look particularly grand in that photo, but that is just the side of it, which faces out to sea. Kind of rude of me, but I always look up at his windows when I go past. He's never there though.

Better than seeing him standing in the window pleasuring himself.

would be cool if every afternoon gilmour stood on the roof and played the comfortably numb solo to the sea.

And then on Sunday, I ran past again and all of a sudden, there he was, gazing out of the window, drinking his coffee, looking right back at me. And you will never guess what I was listening to on my headphones...

That's right, Popol Vuh.
