PINK FLOYD

ILX's Psychedelic POLLfest

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

“Careful With That Axe, Eugene” and “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun” onstage at The Dome, Brighton, June 28 or 29th, 1972

the part where the gong catches on fire otm

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

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.

man, i love no more lonely nights, sounds like it could've been on Thriller.

The Pink Floyd Channel launches on SiriusXM

Our friends in the US have another treat in store - well, those who have access to Sirius XM Radio, that is. In the extensive Roger Waters interview last night with Jim Ladd, Roger revealed that "The Pink Floyd Channel" will launch on their subscription service. It will feature "vintage concerts, special interviews and the entire Pink Floyd catalogue".

It is due to launch on May 25th, which is the start of the US Memorial Day weekend (May 28th is a public holiday). It goes live at midday ET on the 25th, and will run through to Monday, May 28th on channel 27. The channel will also be available Friday, June 29th through to Monday, July 9th on Sirius channel 142 and XM channel 43. Additionally, "The Pink Floyd Channel" will be available as a 24/7 channel online on channel 802 and through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App for smartphones and mobile devices beginning Friday, June 29th for an extended period.

The channel will not just feature Pink Floyd's music, but also solo albums by Pink Floyd members Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and Syd Barrett, "live concerts, rarities, demo versions of classic Pink Floyd songs and studio outtakes". Listeners will also hear an in-depth interview conducted by Jim Ladd with Roger Waters, as well as with David Gilmour and fellow Pink Floyd member Nick Mason.

"The Pink Floyd Channel" will be curated and hosted by SiriusXM host Jim Ladd, the legendary free-form DJ who has been conducting interviews with Pink Floyd since 1979. Ladd was also part of Roger Waters' album Radio KAOS and subsequent tour. Ladd hosts his own, eponymous weekday show on Deep Tracks, channel 27.

"I can't think of a better home for the Pink Floyd catalogue, and all the solo stuff, than SiriusXM," said Roger Waters. "How cool for all our fans and what a great way to introduce the work to new generations of listeners."

JIM LADD! I used to listen to him on KLSX when I was 12. My brother and I totally made fun of him because after a song he liked, he'd go "Loooooord have mercy!"

curious about the live/rarity aspect of this though!

SIRIUS FLOYD RULES

(or sounds like it will)

The Doors in 1972?

hologram jim morrison

wish you were here

they were probably promoting this smash

I didn't know the Doors kept going! figures.

yeah there's also this one (get it?)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c2/The_Doors_-_Other_Voices.jpg

xxxp yeah, I remember Jim Ladd too. there seemed to be a lot more variety with radio programming back then (up into the early 90s) - I remember him throwing on some more relatively obscure psych sometimes

Funny how Elektra let them carry on for two albums, one more than they let Echo and the Bunnymen carry on for.

Right. Back to the t-rex discussion...

"Minutes of the British Rock Meeting held 5.20.72...absent: S. Barrett, J.Morrisson..."

And funny how they listed the people in The Faces. Because S.Marriot was also missing...

Never bothered to hear post Morrison Doors till YouTube came around but there's a cool clip of a song called tightrope walker or something that's pretty good.

i haven't heard any of it, but i'll admit that the full circle cover makes me interested. i'll check out youtube! no reason why it has to the worst thing in the world, i guess.

let's all listen to this together

excited to get to this
The Mosquito (No Me Moleste Mosquito)- 19:44

let's all listen to this together

hawww, yeah. second song is ok. i mean, it really sounds very little like the doors. they should've just picked a new name, but i guess that would mean less $$$.

[pink floyd rules]

I think for my own sanity I'll skip that one, thanks all the same lol
