rather than send the s-k thread further off-topic: in what ways, by the late 70s, was mason 'contributing' more than wright?
― mookieproof, Thursday, 21 November 2019 15:36 (four years ago) link
The nature of their contributions was always different. I think with Mason, he could be relied on to come up with the appropriate parts, and maybe make an arrangement suggestion here or there, or bring in sound effects. Whereas with Wright, he'd co-written significant, and defining, parts of DSOTM and WYWH, but was no longer coming up with anything at all. They apparently expected more from him than comping along with the chord changes.

Didn't he have some drug issues around that time?

There's a good story in the Mark Blake bio about producer credits on The Wall. Previous albums had always said "produced by Pink Floyd", although neither Mason nor Wright had ever done any actual production work. This time Waters wanted the producer credits to say Ezrin/Waters/Gilmour. Mason agreed to this but Wright wanted a producer credit and so sat around in the studio from morning to night saying things like "I don't like that" in the belief that this showed he was co-producing the record. Needless to say, he didn't get the credit.

Credits should've read "Produced by Ezrin/Waters/Gilmour. Not liked by Wright."

He did put out a solo album in 1978, maybe he'd used up all his chord changes on there.

i mean don't get me wrong they're good chord progressions but i feel like there's possibly more to music than just chord progressions? and based on "wet dream" wright might possibly have felt differently.
― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Saturday, 23 November 2019 16:31 (four years ago) link
that's something i'd listen to, somebody writing an album of actual songs with actual melodies based on the "wet dream" chord progressions
― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Saturday, 23 November 2019 16:32 (four years ago) link
Yeah, this is pretty nice look at later Floyd. Favorite tidbit, Douglas Adams from looking at the lyrics found the album title "The Division Bell".

Got to say, if you are going to be a cash loaded rock star, buying a fancy house boat on the Thames and turning into a recording studio is a pretty ace way to use your cash. Way cooler than a castle, but I bet Gilmour probably has a one of those too.

hideously overpriced Later Years box set it out; music tracks on streaming though thankfully because I'm not spending over $500 for this given the only thing I really cared about was the Momentary Lapse remix. It's quite good, not that revolutionary though.

This new MLOR mix is interesting in places, Dogs Of War, never considered a terribly good song in canon, must have had so much that was considered to be egregious that the first half of the remix is like some sort of weird minimal backing over Gilmour's vocal, which is out front and miles better than I recall.
― Maresn3st, Sunday, 15 December 2019 11:16 (four years ago) link
agreed! I used to hate that song, but the new version is not bad.
"Sorrow" was a favorite already, but the new version is more menacing and yet better for it.

I went to a "live Pink Floyd" thing in a dome in Los Angeles, at a place called the Wisdome. The band did a really good job with the material, and the visual presentation was good, though at first we were in folding chairs, which weren't that comfortable when looking up. We later migrated to the soft recliners, which was much better. The visuals occasionally were overwhelming as far as dizziness goes and I had to look away. My friend had snagged two free tickets (and included one or two drinks), but list price was $40-something which may have been too much for it. £10 would be fine (no live band I presume).
