Pink Floyd. Why?
- Thread starter butchersapron
- Start date
I listened to a bit of Dark Side redux today. I don't like Roger Waters and I don't like it. I especially dislike all the spoken word stuff, I'm really not interested in what Roger Waters has to say. However I do not think the project isn't a car crash. It still has those iconic chord progressions and in some ways it brings then out better than the original because it's more understated. I can hear the ghost of Richard Wright running through it and I'm not missing the Gilmore slide guitar. It's not terrible but it is very Roger Waters.

This documentary on Hipgnosis includes a bunch of stuff about the band and especially their early cover artwork - amonst other things. It was mentioned on the Netflix thread but I thought I'd flag it up here too.

As a result I have reluctantly listened to the first two albums for the first time and remain largely unconvinced, sorry. Bits of it is great, but the tweeness is a no-no.

You have to pay for netflix as well as prime, consequently I have neither.

I'm not sure I should say this, I don't pay a penny towards any television, not the hardware, the licence, the electricity...and we don't have any subscriptions.

Not sure how Mrs tag will take going to Winchester nor to "see" dark side but there are a couple of treats in store. Wish we could use the train though.

We had half a dozen words of introduction followed by a playing of the album to a light show. Was it a slightly different mix or I heard it in a slightly different way because of the sound system.
Certainly good to hear it like that and worth £25.

A surround sound mix of DSOTM does exist, it was released on that SACD format that never caught on.

The Amazon comments are suitably bewildering.
"Happily you also get a Hi Def Linear PCM 5.1 remix and a separate 24/192 LPCM Stereo remaster.
As well as the highlight of the remix sets for those who don't have the full Son et Lumiere Eno-esq setup: the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 remix, which sounds spectacular using a 6 speaker 5.1 surround system.
As well the DTS-HD MA stereo remaster."

Just been to the Winchester show that hash tag went to.
I rather enjoyed it and would recommend if you’re a fan. The visuals (believe they’re specific for the planetarium show which has been on around the world) would be great on an imax
I am going to see it again at Jodrell Bank next month as it happens as I am in Manchester over Easter and they happen to be doing shows on the same weekend.

Went to see Nick Mason's A Saucerful of Secrets at the Albert Hall last night (having seen seeformiles hearty endorsement on the Hot Upcoming Gigs thread - so thanks for that SFM!). It was incredible. Great renditions or interpretations of some of Pink Floyd's finest earlier music including See Emily Play and One Of These Days. One of the best gigs I've seen in ages.
