The meat and potatoes is obviously the new remake of A Momentary Lapse of Reason . Is it better than the original? Of course it fucking is. [...] The strong tracks from before ("Learning to Fly", "One Slip", "Terminal Frost", "Sorrow") are even better [...] Well, here I must disagree. "Terminal Fro...

You're quite the wordsmith, so I look forward to seeing your take on these things!

Wonderlust, coming never?

The Flower Kings - "Garden of Dreams"

Probably the only band that could make a 59-minute track interesting.

Alright, so Episode IX was bad. Not as bad as Episode VIII, but it was still a huge snooze fest that derailed the overall story of the Skywalker Saga. For me, I'm just going to use Episodes II-VII as my canon movies and just treat Episode VII as a coda to the saga where all of the bad guys die on St...

I can contribute better to this game now!

I recently got a vinyl copy of Wet Dream at a local record store (living in an old major city has its perks sometimes). It's a radio promo disc straight from CBS Records that wasn't played a single time. Who would have thought that a mint condition record by Rick Wright that probably sold like 13 co...

Okay, so the whole musical aspect of this box set is on YouTube and Spotify, so go check them out if you don't want to dish out a month's pay for this shit. The remastered version of Delicate Sound of Thunder is okay I guess. I never really thought the band sounded that good live in the Gilmour era ...

I'll save a more detailed review of that new A Momentary Lapse of Reason for The Later Years thread. In their original forms, I'd dare say that The Final Cut is the better album, after all these years. I've really given the album a second chance, and it's grown on me a lot in recent weeks. I was hop...

Rule #1 (The Singular Rule): Just make music that makes you happy, when you're inspired to make it

The music on "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" has always struck me as a more polished version of the stuff they did for Zabriskie Point . I think the article really helps put it all into perspective about this album being the big experimental breakthrough for the band. It's easy now to see silly egg s...

https://www.loudersound.com/features/the-tale-of-the-tortuous-creation-of-pink-floyds-atom-heart-mother Really good read about the making of Atom Heart Mother , with some behind-the-scenes stuff I'd never read anywhere else before. Includes my new favorite quote from Rick: "In the summer of ’68 ther...

I miss everyone here. I miss the magic of hearing so much Pink Floyd for the first time, and sharing all of those memories with all of you. I know a lot of PFO and here had been Floyd fans for a long time, but I hadn't gotten on board until Summer '12. Even now, I still find new things in old favori...

So the track "The Final Cut" came up on my Spotify at random today, and for the first time in the seven years I've been familiar with Pink Floyd, I actually rather enjoyed it. I think as my musical tastes have become more diversified and I've become a more empathetic person in general, the song was ...

Where all you bitches at?

J.J. Abrams sucks at finishing stories and Rian Johnson already completely derailed his plot threads from The Force Awakens, so I'm not all that optimistic. Might be the first Star Wars movie in my life that I don't bother to go see on opening night.

Alright, now that I've listened to all of Porcupine Tree's and Steven Wilson's material obsessively, I can say without a doubt that this combo is essential for Pink Floyd fans. He doesn't sound like them that much (except for early PT), but he hits the same emotional nerves as Floyd the way most oth...

talking heads - remain in light

what a weird album, i love it

its not a good day to be midwestern, all of our shit is getting flooded to high heaven. largest flood event since '93, so fortunate to not live along those floodplains any more.

-NEW SONG: SLEEPING STADIUM- A track dedicated to the people who died in Pompeii that night, two millennia ago. Inspired by the music Pink Floyd made in the ruins to an audience of lost spirits. Had a lot of fun making this one, the group dynamic really helped! Madi's songwriting contributions and ...

While I work on the artwork and final mix for the upcoming song, I'll post a link to the "debut" track of the band. The appropriately named track "Pretension" sums up my main mantra towards songwriting, it would seem. This song isn't really a band effort, it's just me on here. The original mix on Yo...

Quick thought: the United Nations has determined that 5 million Americans live in "third world" conditions. I'm not sure exactly how the world sees America these days, but it comes out to 14% of our population living in extreme poverty despite being considered a wealthy global power. I don't know w...
