Re: Kettles and Bacon (AHM Article)
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...

Re: The Notebook v4.0
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...

Re: The Final Cut vs. A Momentary Lapse of Reason
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 ...

Re: Star Wars Episodes VII VIII & IX
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.

Re: Steven Wilson and Co.
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...

Re: The Verdant Stars
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...

Re: What are you listening to now?
Opeth - Damnation Normally a death metal band, but they teamed up with Steven Wilson to make a standard prog album. Very weird stuff... it has that sort of "doom and gloom" vibe from the lyrics and timbre, but the music isn't that far removed from Wetton/Bruford era King Crimson, except more straigh...

Re: The Notebook v4.0
TIL that, apparently, Americans find the way Brits tell the time confusing. Specifically, I'm talking about phrases like "half six". I had never, ever thought that this could be ambiguous because these expressions are so ubiquitous in the UK. Apparently, to Americans "half six" instinctively means ...

Holy damn, this is pretty exciting. :O Thanks! I'm hoping this is the real deal for me. They've both been great support for me throughout the years.

The Verdant Stars
Good evening, Floydians! My fiancée Madison and I decided some time ago to team up as songwriters. She has a much better ear for melody than I could ever hope to imagine, and knows how to reel in my more overblown pretensions. Adding to this, our very own Artisan has started lending a hand at making...

Pink Floyd Boosting Vinyl Sales
http://ultimateclassicrock.com/viny-sales-2018/ It's interesting to see the Floyd partially lead this hipster movement of buying music on vinyl instead of many other superior mediums (guilty!).

Re: Non-UK, non-USA music
I've tried listening to music in languages other than English and I simply can't do it. Other languages make me paranoid when I don't understand them.
