PINK FLOYD

;_;

btw I'm v excited for Elvis Telecom's Pink Floyd poll, even though it's a ways away

I finally bought the remastered Meddle and weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so in love with it all over again.

I am too.

Got around to listening to all the extra stuff on The Wall immersion and... they're interesting. The sound quality is of course better than the various Under Construction versions out there and I hadn't yet heard some of the band demos. Liking one of the early "Another Brick In The Wall" demos that's almost like a Pete Townshend acoustic number with this tremendous VCS3 sound in the front. Plus it's always interesting to hear Gilmour sing Waters' lines on "Comfortably Numb"

BTW, in addition to the main song poll I'm going to include a sub-poll of your top 3 PF live bootlegs/recordings.

:D

including bootlegs is the right thing to do.

BOOT FLOYD RULES

FLINK ROYD POOLS!

get em up against the polllll

If I had my way, I'd have all of them POLLED!

To feel the warm thrill of confusion, that space-cadet POLL

Set The Poll For The Heart Of The Sun

Great idea!

Dig that POLL, forget the sun

When the kids are grown, I'm going to record my own version of DSotM.

I could fake most of it except GGitS or ACYL.

Careful With That Poll, ILX

And who's the POLL who wears the crown?

One Two FREE POLL

ILX's Psychedelic POLLfest

one of these days, I'm gonna poll you into little pieces

nice!

POLLS On The Wing

Arnold Layne, Don't POLL It Again

Seriously, nobody's done "Let's POLL Another One"?

apPOLLS and oranges

everything under the sun is in tune but the sun is eclipsed by the POLL

From last year, but an interesting follow-up on the "mixing the 80s out of AMLOR" w/PF sound engineer Andy Jackson

SDE: Will A Momentary Lapse of Reason be remixed for an Immersion box set? David Gilmour has mentioned before his interest in “mixing the 80s out of it”

AJ: Interesting point. A Momentary Lapse of Reason is an odd one out inasmuch as it’s the only album that was trying to be ‘of the time’, which now means it sounds dated, rather than timeless. We have started this process a while ago, doing new drums with Nick with a much more “Pink Floyd classic” approach. If & when we’ll pick it up I don’t know.

SDE: (reponse to above): Very interesting…. one assumes that if there was to be an Immersion Edition of A Momentary Lapse of Reason then this process would probably be completed. Is it just the drums that have been redone so far?

AJ: Yes and yes. It was our intention to remove some of the 80′s synths and get more Rick hammond on it. Obviously not possible for him to do it now, but we started the process of pulling some of his playing from gigs of those songs. Just a lot of editing/syncing to do on that, but it should work

the part where the gong catches on fire otm

In preparation for the poll, I started reading this...

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41NdrpQskKL._SS500_.jpg

I was certain that I knew everything about PF before reading this (seriously, I know more Floyd trivia than Spacemen 3 trivia), but after a couple of quick spot-checks there were some fun stories in there I hadn't heard before... Ezrin trying to convince a grumpy Gilmour to go to a nightclub and listen to some disco so he'd understand "Another Brick In The Wall part 2"

ooh! want!

yeah I read that a while back and it is excellent, the only Floyd bio anyone needs imo

Is there anyplace on the internets that has a list of songs that Gilmour played bass on, I know some of Animals at least, but I was listening to Fearless a couple of days ago and it doesn't sound like Waters at-all.

I've always wondered about "Part 2" and the guitar parts therein. This explains a great deal.

I'd never really paid attention to the tribute bands, but I have to admire Interstellar Factory from Italy. It's cool that they're only playing 1968-1972 Floyd, but it's GREAT that they covered "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast," complete with tea break.

Okay, that sets them apart. Though they're still just a tribute band.

The Pink Floyd Tribute Band featuring Roger Waters is playing in Denver next week! I certainly can't afford the ticket price but I did beg my boss to try to get me free ones. Pray for me.

atheist prayers coming your way!

Forgot to mention that I finished the book. Finally, a book about the Floyd that adds in the trash-talk, sex, drugs, and bad behavior that every good rock and roll story needs. Highly recommended, though be forewarned that no one comes out unscathed.

Classic Albums: DSOTM is now on Netflix streaming and is quite good. (I'm certain it was mentioned upthread as well)

The chord change RIchard Wright settles upon in "Great Gig in the Sky" and how he came up with it is worth the other 46 minutes of slow-motion British people walking across bridges.

i posted that pic of gilmour and the mccartneys on my blog a few months back accompanying a roundup of floyd bootlegs. it is now pretty much the most popular thing i've posted (no one cares about the bootlegs, just the picture).

46 minutes of slow-motion British people walking across bridges.

I couldn't help but think of this when I was listening to Floyd while making my way through the BART station this morning.

I have inherited an SACD of WYWH, no idea what I can play it on, DVD Player? It's pretty though, like a little book.

I heard Maca's "No More Lonely Nights" at the grocery store the other day--the guitar solos RULED.

I love how Saucerful of Secrets pointed out that Gilmour and Waters kept trying to one-up the other, Waters touring with ERIC GOD CLAPTON and Gilmour finding some other bassist to work with by the name of JAMES PAUL MCCARTNEY.
