The live version will have it. Yet to be announced whether it'll be on any of the TBA discs though. And it wasn't really a mistake that they left it off, it was because of time constraints on vinyl.

That's the live version that's been released before. I was hoping they'd finally release the studio version that was used in the film sequence.

The vinyl copy I have shows the lyrics for the song on the liner notes. I always thought it was left off unintentionally.

It's weird, to me at least, how Empty Spaces just abruptly ends and Young Lust begins.

Not really, it's a simple concept of mental instability and the mind's attempt to protect itself in the face of all the shit that was happening to it. The wall is a defence mechanism that is reminiscent of pathological denial. And it is partly autobiographical in the case of Waters who wrote a lot of the story based on his own life.

GorkerMorker

23-05-2011, 08:28 PM

That's your excellent take on it. There's a reason Waters was able put so much new media into his show.

DSoTM is just way more accessible and has easily recognisable songs and really eases up on the psychedelia, that's why it's so popular.

That's what I always thought, but I will admit DSoTM is a lot more innovative...I just think Animals has more quality tracks. "Pigs (3 Different Ones)" was the track that got me into Floyd in the first place (THAT BASS <3), so I guess that's why it's been my favorite album.

I'm still left with the nagging feeling that Pink Floyd, especially (but not necessarily) with today's technology would be able to make something that surpasses anything they've done before. Every single thing they produced felt like something was missing to me.

They've gone deep but they've never dived all the way into the rabbit hole.

Totally agree on this! That's what's so great about The Wall - you can interpret it in so many ways. There's the story of Roger's childhood/adolescence, the infamous story of how he spat on a fan during a concert due to him feeling alienated etc., the whole thing about the rock star Pink, whatever walls there might be in society, your own walls and so on and on...

When I saw the show in Copenhagen I was really happy to see that Roger has added new elements to the storyline - it has evolved and gives you something new to think about. Love it! :)

I don't think The Wall really stands up too well if you try and think too hard about it and try annalysing it, ut's much more enjoyable if you just strap yourself in and hold on for the ride, so to speak. That's not to say it's bad, it's absolutely brilliant.

Dark Side has always been the best for me, took a listen or two to get into it at first, but when it slots into place it's simply staggering.

I love The FInal Cut as well, fell in love with it straight away, while Animals took longer.

If it was a horrible song, which took up other good songs' space, I could understand your argument. But this, I don't even...

Echoes is about 24 minutes long, and I consider it the best song they ever did.

In any case, SOYCD changes so much that it might well be comprised of different songs segueing together - much as The Wall could just as well be made up of four long songs.

I'm not arguing, I'm stating my opinion. In my opinion it is too long. It's a nice song but I get bored with it after a bit, hearing essentially the same song with a few different widdly bits over and over again. If they'd attempted to split them up and have them on the album as separate songs it might be different, but even with the one split it bores me.

Dark Side's a good album to have on in the background, but I wouldn't call it their best album, it's a bit too inconsistent. Wish You Were Here is alright, but it's let down by Have A Cigar and the fact that Shine On is just too long. My personal favourite album has to be The Wall, it's just an album that works brilliantly to me.

Thats one of my favourite PF songs :(

But the top 3 albums for me are Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, Animals for definite, because they flow so well, in my opinion of course :)

Piper - Excellent debut. One of the best debut albums I've ever heard
Saucerful- Underrated brilliance.
Ummagumma - lolwut
Atom Heart Mother - Why the band hates this album is beyond me, it's bloody brilliant
Meddle - Fucking amazing album. I could go on just for Echoes alone.
DSOTM - Need I say more?
WYWH - The most emotional album I've ever heard, and I love it.
Animals - Best PF album hands down. Gilmour's best guitar work, brilliant lyrics by Roger, overall epic concept. And it's by far their most "progressive" album.
The Wall - Overrated as shit, but it's still a great album regardless.
Final Cut - Extremely underrated, but not the best by any means.
MLOR - Eh, it's okay. I really don't like the obvious 80s sound of it
Division Bell - Perfect finale to a perfect band.

I didnt include the soundtracks because they are kind of meh imo. OBC is good though

My favorite Floyd era is everything they did in the 70s. They peaked during DSotM, WYWH, and Animals. Any album before or after the 70s I'm just not a fan of. Piper and Saucerful are too psychedelic for me and I just don't really like The Final Cut or Momentary Lapse. Division Bell is alright but I consider it a David Gilmour solo album rather than a Pink Floyd album.

I think he was one of those people with a "fragile" mind, you know? And then everything probably just spiralled downhill when he started doing drugs. What always gets to me is the lyrics in "SOYCD" - when I was younger I thought he was dead because of lines such as "Nobody knows where you are, How near or how far, Shine on you crazy diamond, Pile on many more years, And I'll be joining you there". When I realised he was still alive I couldn't help but think how horrible it must be to experience a loved one drift away like that.
Wonder if Syd, through the years, followed the rest of the guys and their career from afar...

Well, anyway - you might wanna check this out: The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story.
By the way, did any of you see that Syd was on the cover of the NME magazine from 23/5?

I have no idea why,

But this performance always gets to me. I don't know if it's the huge solo or if it's the beautiful synergy in the lyrics.

This is probably one of my favorite Floyd performances.

Not my favourite performance, but not bad either - how could it be with that solo? :)
I really liked Roger's performance of the song on the DVD"In The Flesh". Of course it would've been better if it was Gilmour playing, but Snowy and Doyle Brahalm II really did an awesome job. To me it seems that it's "easier" to replace Gilmour's solo on C Numb, whereas it just doesn't sound right when they have to replace Water's voice, so I guess that's why I would often prefer Water's performance of the song.

:yesey: The sound was a bit better, the venue wasn't as big so I was a lot closer to the stage, and the wall was smaller than in Copenhagen so it felt more intimate (I know, it's a weird word to use about a show this big) - the overall experience was just slightly better than the first concert.

Oh yeah, Ummagumma is a pretty experimental encouter. Actually never got into that album, but I should probably give it another chance. I have a feeling that I'll be convinced at some point.

Fair warning: You might be somewhat dissapointed with the album. =p It's not terrible, but it's not good either. At least in my opinion. Learning to Fly, On the Turning Away and Sorrow are great though

That is unless you've already heard it before buying, then I apologize :LOL:

I love On The Turning Away. Probably my favourite post-Waters PF song.

:happy: To me it really is! In a way I think my biggest wish concerning their music was to see The Wall in Berlin (well of course I would have loved to see all of PF together) . I've been so jealous of those who got to see it back in 1990 and never thought I would actually get the chance. When I did it completely blew me away!

EMI Music have just confirmed that on Monday (26th September) they will launch the 'Why Pink Floyd…?' 2011 remasters and collectors edition campaign by recreating the legendary Pink Floyd 'Animals' sleeve and float the Pink Floyd Pig above Battersea Power Station. This will be the first time in 35 years that the Pink Floyd Pig will fly again above the iconic London landmark. For more details visit PinkFloyd.com.

Piper's an odd record. It took me a while to get to like it as it's so different to their more well known stuff, which is what I heard first. 'Interstellar Overdrive' and 'Astronomy Domine' are really great tracks. Plus 'Bike' is wonderfully bizarre.

Static Shadows

24-09-2011, 05:23 PM

I don't consider Piper proper Pink Floyd.

Neither do I. It's the only Pink Floyd album I love.* :happy: It's imperfect, and I tend to shove Arnold Layne and See Emily Play in there to add that extra accessibility, especially when playing it to others, but I really do love it. Nothing else really sounds like it, either before or since! It's simply wonderfully playful, noisy and whimsical pychadelia, utterly capturing the sound and feel of that Undergroud 60's London psychedelic culture. It still excites me every time I listen to it.

*EDIT: Which isn't to say I therefore actively dislike the rest of the albums. I just find for the most part that they contain the occasional flashes of breathtaking brilliance swamped by endless passages of uninspired tedium and endlessly recycled blues scales. Although, having listened to them since a teenager, I may have also simply got bored by them. But I find those brilliant bits are still worth the very occasional re-listen!

GorkerMorker

I have Animals and Meddle, and they both sound amazing, but I'm not exactly an expert audiophile so I'm not sure how much difference there is between these and the 1994 remasters.

WYWH and The Wall sound spectacular, I'm still waiting for my Experience Edition of DSOTM to arrive in the mail. After my next paycheck, i plan to get Animals and Atom Heart Mother :)

I am a bit dissapointed in the album booklets though, i was hoping for some interesting linear notes like The Beatles remasters did, but its all just pictures we've seen before and song lyrics.

Dark Side of the Moon from my blue Australian tour vinyl (70's something issue) while being high is the pinnacle of all musical things I've heard. It encompasses so many emotions, moods and ways of beings. It reveals things of mysels and world I didn't know and brings up stuff I have buried.

It's alright, but 90 quid is a lot of money... There's some really cool stuff in there, but there's also some cheap, useless things - such as the facsimile ticket and backstage pass. There's also a handwritten note by Roger Waters concerning the questions answered throughout the album (his handwriting is very difficult to read :p )

I forgot to post about it but I did manage to recieve my copy of DSOTM Experience Edition.

The remaster sounds good, but i can't tell any difference from the 2003 remaster.

The real highlight is the bonus live disc. It's almost better than the original album, and it's about time the band released an official live album from the 70s that includes all of them together. ;)

Exactly. I must say, though that the DSOTM peformance from the Pulse DVD and CD seems to replicate a lot of the sounde effects and voice overs better. As you say, however, it's great to listen to the band performing DSOTM not long after the album came out and with the 70s lineup.
