Pink Floyd ....

[Jedburgh]

If you have one of those cassette-playing machines, I have the entire Fortran 5 album in that format.

IIRC the mouse Sid refers to is, in this case, called Donald.

(Apologies for bizarre syntax. I've spent the best part of the day writing a comedy news page in turn-of-the-century Empire English, and it's a tricksome style to extricate oneself from)

Seen Floyd at Knebworth( post Waters ), Paul McCartney outclassed them.

I'm a little excited by the 'new' releases. I was never interested in Pink Floyd, having listened to their commercial stuff thrashed on the radio throughout my life. Old men going on about how awesome they are and arguing about Gilmore or Waters.
Then I saw Live At Pompeii and was astonished. What a force they were then! Practiced, not polished, doing their own groove with passion and energy.

Also gave me some insite to the dynamics. Gilmore was arrogant, perhaps justified as he was a good looking, talented young man in one of the greatest bands of it's time. Waters was an insufferable cunt I wanted to smash in the face.

Are those some of those copyright releases, where material must be released before 50 years otherwise you lose your rights? Weird that they are all around that 50 year mark.

I am surprised no one here has mentioned the new song by the Pinksters themselves...

I mean… the cause is very noble and all, but musically speaking it’s fucking dreadful.

I mean… the cause is very noble and all, but musically speaking it’s fucking dreadful.

I hate to say it. But, yeah, exactly that.

A good cause (and, apparently, Gilmour's daughter-in-law is Ukrainian, so there's a personal reason in there for him why he's doing this), but it's not much of a song, is it?

U2 have also written a song for Ukraine:



This one is not that much better either. But at least Bono's singing voice is always top notch. The Edge's acoustic guitar accompaniment, though, is a bit boring and he should have cracked out the electric instead. Though this one has more of a thing that it was just Bono and the Edge jamming, and they decided to point a camera at it.

Couldn’t agree more as to that Floyd track. Glad to be here in a “safe space” where I can say that

Absolutely appreciate the cause and the intent, and bollocks to those whinging about no Waters (get over it!).

The song’s just shit, though

[Deckard]

Yes charity singles dont have a great track record sadly. I still remember the "Perfect Day" BBC one, that sucked so bad.

Bump - Me again !

“ Pink Floyd fans can now enjoy the band's masterpiece in Dolby Atmos virtual surround sound. A new 50th anniversary Dark Side Of The Moon boxset includes a Blu-ray disc containing a Dolby Atmos mix for the first time.

The package is perhaps the ultimate boxset. Called The Dark Side Of The Moon 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set (opens in new tab), it comes with a bundle of fan goodies, including:

Two CDs: one is a remaster of the original The Dark Side Of The Moon studio album, remastered by James Guthrie in a gatefold sleeve with 12-page booklet; the other is The Dark Side Of The Moon Live At Wembley Empire Pool from 1974, in a gatefold sleeve with a 12-page booklet.
Two LPs: one is the remastered studio album presented in 180g heavyweight LP in a gatefold sleeve, with original posters and stickers; the other is the same live album as above, remastered in 180g heavyweight LP in gatefold with two posters featuring designs by Ian Emes and Gerald Scarfe.
Two audio Blu-rays: one is the original studio album in 5.1 (24-bit/96kHz) and high-resolution remastered stereo mixes (24-bit/192kHz), plus a 5.1 surround mix and stereo mix both in dts-HD MA format; the second contains the new Dolby Atmos mix, and two stereo mixes (one in 24-bit/192kHz and one in dts-HD MA).
An audio DVD: this is the original studio album remastered in surround (Dolby Digital @448 kbps and Dolby Digital @640 kbps) and stereo (LPCM 24-bit/48kHz) mixes.
But that's not all. It also comes with two books – one 160-page hardback with rare black and white photos from the 1973 and 1974 tours of the UK and USA, one 76-page songbook of the original album – and replicas of two 7" singles (Money/Any Colour You Like; Us and Them/Time).”
