S svojo glasbo so pomembno vplivali na razvoj današnjega rocka. Najuspešnejši so bili v 70-ih in 80-ih.letih. Zadnji album so izdali leta 1994, zadnjič pa so nastopili leta 2005 v Londonu.................4 3) Dosežki in razvoj skupine....................................................................................................................5 a. Skupino Pink Floyd so leta 1964 ustanovili Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Nick Manson in Richard Wright. Leta 1968 je zaradi zasvojenosti z drogo Syda Barretta zamenjal David Gilmour. Roger Waters je odšel leta 1985...................................................................................................................................5 b. 1964 do 1968..................................................................................................................................6 Že leta 1964 so Syd Barrett, Roger Waters in David Gilmour igrali mešanico med rockom, jazzom in folkom. Razšli so se ko se je Syd Barrett preselil v London. Kmalu zatem se je v London preselil tudi Roger Waters. Tam je spoznal Nicka Mansona in Ricka Wrighta. Skupaj so ustanovili skupino Sigma 6, ki so jo nato preimenovali v The tea-set, The Architectural Abdabs, The screaming abdabs. Na začetku leta 1966 se jim je pridružil Syd Barrett, ki je skupino preimenoval v The Pink Floyd Sound. Na prvi plošči so se imenovali The Pink Floyd nato pa samo še Pink Floyd. Syd Barrett je za takratni slog določil psihedelični rock. V tem slogu je napisal skoraj vse skladbe na plošči The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Zaradi psihotropnih substanc se je njegovo duševno stanje še vedno slabšalo, zaradi tega je bilo sodelovanje z njim oteženo. Ostali člani skupine so se odločili za novega člana Davida Gilmourja.

  • A New Perspective on the Concept Album: the Governing Tonal Axis in Pink Floyd’S Wish You Were Here
    A New Perspective on the Concept Album: The Governing Tonal Axis in Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here Near the middle of the 20th century, many popular musicians began to become fascinated by the idea of unifying an entire album with a central theme. The earliest such explorations of this idea took place in the 1940s and 1950s. Perhaps the best early example of this is Frank Sinatra’s 1955 album In the Wee Small Hours, comprised of a set of songs tied together by themes of loneliness, depression, and night-life. Projects such as this gave birth to what we know now as the concept album. The concept album gained a great deal of momentum in the late 1960s, when a number of rock groups began to experiment with different ways to create and maintain a theme around which the albums were arranged. One of the earliest of this wave of concept albums was the Beatles’ 1967 album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. The material in Pepper, while not necessarily all related, is driven by the eponymous opening track, whose musical and lyrical material return near the end of the album. In the same year, the Moody Blues recorded their album Days of Future Passed, the content of which describes a subject’s journey through an ordinary day. Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention took a different approach to the concept album in projects such as We’re Only in It for the Money and Uncle Meat, from 1968 and 1969, respectively. The two albums are drawn from material recorded for a larger project initially envisioned by Zappa entitled No Commercial Potential, and as such many of the tracks on the two albums share musical and instrumentation ideas.

  • Barrett Vol 1.Pdf
    Introduction usician, psychedelic explorer, eccentric, cult icon – Roger “Syd” Barrett was many things to many people. Created in conjunction with the Barrett family and The Estate of Roger Barrett, who have provided unprece- dented access to family photographs, artworks, and mem- Mories, Barrett offers an intimate portrait of the Syd known only to his family and closest friends. Previously unseen photographs taken on seaside holidays and other family occasions show us a happy and loving young man, smiling energetically in images that map his early life, from childhood through his teenage years. Along with newly available photos from the album cover shoots for The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (taken by Storm Thorgerson and Mick Rock) they reveal the positive energy of a grinning Syd as he fools about in front of the camera. We are offered a rare glimpse of one who was immensely popular among friends and contemporaries. Also contained within these pages are recently unearthed images of Pink Floyd in which we see Syd practising handstands, making muscle-man poses, and having fun. The other members of Floyd lark about too – a fledgling young band enjoying itself with a sense of real camaraderie. The images transport one back in time to 166–67: the London Free School gigs, the launch of International Times at the Roundhouse, the UFO club, the band’s first European dates. There are photos of Syd and Floyd at numerous locations and events, giving a real sense of what it must have been like to be there as the infant light shows, experimentation, and collective spirit of the time emerged, grew, and flourished in the psychedelic hothouse that was the late 160s.
