Best songs as well…

Hi there!

I'm a writer based in Canada and I've recently started a newsletter offering a critical history of prog rock, one album at a time. It's called "Circus of Heaven," after a terrible (but pivotal) Yes song. It focusses on nine of the best known prog bands from the 70s, with bonus posts on other important artists. Obviously, Pink Floyd is one of the core nine. If you're interested in reading about prog rock, I'd love for you to subscribe. (It's free - there will be paid content at some point, but the posts on Pink Floyd and the other eight core bands will never be paywalled.)

If you want to get a sense of what I'm up to, the latest post on More is probably a good entry point. Fair warning: relatively little of it is explicitly about the album, which is not among Pink Floyd's richest works, IMO. But I try to offer some context for the Barbet Schroeder film the music was written for, and for the participatory performance culture of the late '60s generally. This is what the newsletter will be like a lot of the time. Sometimes it'll be more explicitly analytical of the music itself (my background is in classical music, so there will often be some light music theory involved). But going forwards, a lot of the writing on Pink Floyd will likely focus on the way they crystalized the culture of the time - especially the peculiarly British ambivalence towards modernity ("Welcome to the Machine," indeed) that they share with Jethro Tull and Genesis.

I hate to promote myself, but this project is a labour of love. It's the culmination of half my life spent listening to this music, reading most of what's been written about it, and discovering intuitive connections between it and virtually everything else I've ever read or heard. If you want to know more about who the hell I am and why I should presume to ask for your attention, here you go. I hope to get in respectful fights with some of you in the post comments very soon.

So my walmart copy of DSOTM had posters and stickers, and it had me thinking, why didnt The Wall get any cool poster art treatment? I think the inner gatefold is badass and would have made epic room decor. Even in a 50th anniversary or something. Stickers could be Hammers and maybe the round wall scene from The Trial.

From the man Seymour Duncan himself. If you listen to Roy Buchanan records you can hear how Floyd’s most Buchanan like sound is Have a Cigar. I feel like this needs to be cemented. Not every song was on the Black Strat. One of the Wall session musicians was blown away at the amount of guitars Gilmour had at his disposal for those sessions. And I have a theory the Lewis guitar was used on the Mother solo. Sounds like the same bite to me. Mother and Have a Cigar two amazing Waters songs with unforgettable lyrics

Enjoying Money while playing DSOTM as it finally gets cooler outside.

Fender didn’t have 22 frets on the Strat until what, the late ‘80s?

And David Gilmour masterfully hits the high E bending from a 21st fret C# several times during the Money solo like it’s nothing. Just wow.

I finally got enough comment karma to show you all my super sick backpiece I finally finished in september! I started it in february this year.

Hello everyone, I need help checking if this is authentic. Picked this up online second-hand fairly cheaply, the price hasn't been marked up, so it's a win-win in either case.

What I find curious is that two signatures from Waters and Wright have almost faded completely while the other two are still highly visible (added second image with contrast and brightness adjusted to make them more visible).

Also, the Pink Floyd doodle Mason sometimes adds looks a bit off from other examples I've seen, but I'm not sure if forgers would even bother forging a doodle.

What do you think? Thanks for your time.

I love the untouched broadcast of the Live 8 performance. Listen at :35 second mark. Renwick missed the cue for the E minor chord on Breathe later added back in official videos. Think there are some other edits

I was listening to the wall demo and sexual revolution sounds more like corporal clegg rather than the final version with eric clapton. I just might be dumb but I'm really intrigued of where this song comes from

Albums and tracks recorded or mixed at ’Sound Techniques’. Sound Techniques, Ltd. was a recording studio at 46a Old Church St., Chelsea, London SW3 5BY, operational between 1965 and 1976. Housed in a former dairy, it was founded by recording engineers Geoff Frost and John Wood. (Sort by: 'Artist').

o que acham desse cover de Have a Cigar? (eu particularmente gosto bastante)

So I was thinking about buying a vinyl of either Dark side of the moon (50th anniversary edition) or bohemian rhapsody (the movie's soundtrack).

Dark side of the moon is on sale whilst bohemian rhapsody is normal price

Both have a very small price difference and I love both but i have listened to more of Queen's songs rather than the dark side of the moon.

Please help me cause I am too indecisive also I know this community is more about pink floyd but it would be great if someone could help me.

Thanks a lot. Edit: Thanks y'all i went with Pink floyd and i can't wait for it!

For the past 30 minutes, I have been listening to the transition into “Welcome to the Machine,” right when the saxophone starts. I love how menacing the transition is. Hearing the machine in the background come closer at 12:45 while you listen to the soft-spoken saxophone drifting away is an absolute masterpiece to my ears. Every time I listen to Pink Floyd, it just baffles me how perfect this transition is, and the album as a whole. Absolute perfection.

Hello, hello: Is there anybody out there? My buddy and I present to you a countdown of our favorite Pink Floyd songs!! It was a labor of love: we spent  10 months working on this (researching, listening, recording, etc.). Our main resource for song backgrounds was Pink Floyd All the Songs by Jean-Michel Guesdon and Philippe Margotin. We also give our own opinions on the songs, play clips, discuss album art, album ranking, and pretty much anything else you can think of! We put our all into this and hope that you enjoy it!! Link to Episode 1 is in the comments. We will release new episodes every MWF for the next several weeks as we march down to our favorite Pink Floyd songs! Let’s put some bricks in the wall!!
