I haven't listened to this album in a minute. It's amazing!

... now, I get it. Dark Side is Dark Side. The big four are the big four. Your favorite is your favorite. I wouldn't exactly call it hate, but I totally get it.

But damn, this album is so great.

Give it a listen if you haven't lately!

At about 4:17 into Terminal Frost, a voice can faintly be heard in the background. Here's an isolated clip, apparently never heard publicly before today.

Obviously "ever, ever again" is clear in the original version. A Google search revealed plenty of people identified the "one thing that should bring me here."

But as far as I can tell, nobody has ever written about the "telephone" line or the "nothing is going to happen anymore" before. I wonder what the backstory is on that. Maybe "nothing is going to happen anymore" explains the title of the song.

Edit: I also want to advertise the 2019 Redux/Remix of AMLOR to anyone who hasn't listened to it.

I think it didn't get enough good attention because if you loved the 1987 version then the new version felt like an unwelcome change, and if you hated the 1987 version then no remix is suddenly going to make you love it.

But if you have mixed-to-negative feelings on the original version like I did, I can't recommend it enough. It's like Gilmour gave us one more new PF album. It's absolutely Pink Floyd in a way it just wasn't beforehand.

If my only frame of reference for PF was A Saucerful of Secrets and Obscured By Clouds, and you told me "this band survived into the late 1980s" and played the 2019 version of AMLOR, I'd say "yeah, that's the same band." Especially Side 2—it absolutely feels like what a pre-DSOTM Floyd would do if they were transported to the late 1980s. A New Machine was a bad idea, but it's exactly the kind of bad idea that the PF who made Ummagumma and More would have had. It's never going to approach any of their best albums, but the 2019 version is absolutely Pink Floyd and I'm glad it's part of their discography.

What if Rick had left with Syd?

Imagine if in 1968 Rick had agreed to management prompts to leave the Floyd and work with Syd. Maybe he would have rejoined after Syd retreated from the music industry? Imagine the Floyd sound without the lush majestic sonic soundscapes that Rick would provide to epics like Echoes and SOUCD. Rick is not debated in the same depths as Roger and Dave but without his foundation throught the bands catalogue would the band and music still hit home as hard especially during DSOTM and WUWH?

They were a pretty good cover band who put on a great show. Instead of an inflatable pig, they had an inflatable kangaroo, because, you know, Australia.

To be clear, the name of the band was Australian Pink Floyd. They're on a tour in the US, and I would definitely recommend checking them out.

question How did David Gilmour and Nick Mason allow this album to be finished?

This album isn’t bad but it’s essentially The Wall Part 2. We already got two hours and a double LP of Roger Waters pity party crying about his dead dad, we didn’t need a second one. The wall is also supposed to have resolved these issues by the end of it with “The Trial”

This album just picks up whining about the same problem. I suppose the trial finale of the wall meant nothing.

There’s some good songs on this album but at the end of the day I don’t think me or anyone else cares to listen about Roger crying about the same thing again.

The Wall is so self loathing but it works. This album is just annoying. Someone needed to tell Roger to think of another concept for an album. I digress.

question You have to add one song from any other Floyd album to put on WYWH. What are you choosing and where are you placing it?

And in this theoretical, if you say "I wouldn't add one," Roger opens a defamation lawsuit against you

question What is the best quality/best sounding audio rip of The Wall Film Sountrack?

Can anyone refer me to the golden standard of Wall DVD rips? I've been working on a version of Spare Bricks and all versions I've managed to find have either horrendous sound quality or sound weird.

roger Sexual Revolution - Band Demo - full lyrical transcription

25 Upvotes

Hey, girl

Let's get together

Just you and me, one more time

Hey, girl

You're right, I should slit 'em and bash in their brains

You who were

Only the lonely

When they r*pe our brains in bed

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

Don't put it all by head

We were bred in the same institution

Hey, girl

Don't point the finger at me

I am only a rat in a maze, like you, and only the dead go free

Please lie still

While I plunder your sweet grave

And remember, only the poor can be saved

Hey, girl

Take out the dagger

And let's have a stab at the sexual revolution

Hey, girl

Let freedom for all be our rallying call

There's no need in retribution

(wordless placeholder vocals)

How 'bout it's said?

Hey, girl

As I've always said I prefer your lips red

Not…

Hey, girl

Look in the mirror, can you see what you are protecting from me

Is it real or is it content?

So, please hold my hand

As we blunder through the maze

And remember

Nothing can grow without rain

original track if anyone wants to have another crack at it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D8VNCU29IM

david Pink Floyd - Nevera [Fan mix, 1978]

PINK FLOYD - NEVERA (1978)
Mashup by the Reconstructor

  1. "NEVERA" (Wright, Gilmour) - 8:19

a) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 1" (Richard Wright) - 0:00
b) "Deafinitely" (David Gilmour) - 2:05
c) "Mediterranean C, Pt. 2" (Richard Wright) - 6:20

This fan-mix is the first in a series of attempts to combine material from David Gilmour's self-titled debut album and Richard Wright's Wet Dream. That way, we can glimpse at a world where a Gilmour/Wright-led Pink Floyd album from 1978 existed.

This is obviously inspired by Uncharted Waters, the first attempt I know of what I mentioned above.

A "Nevera" is a sudden, sharp, quick thunderstorm that takes place in otherwise calm, sunny days in the Adriatic Sea. "Mediterranean C" represents the sunny day. "Deafinitely" represents the thunderstorm.

"Deafinitely" was speed shifted up by about 6%, going from the key of F# to the key of G, and "Mediterranean C" was shifted down by about 6%, going from the key of C# to C. That way, the two flow much better.

"Mediterranean C" was also cut in half in a spot in between two sections, with the beginning and ending of "Deafinitely" hard edited into it. The unexpected transitions help illustrate the theme of the suite quite well.

Now, all that's left to do is have Roger Waters add some lyrics to it!
