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.

  • “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay By: Daniel Levitin (Guest Post)*
    “The Dark Side of the Moon”—Pink Floyd (1973) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by: Daniel Levitin (guest post)* Dark Side of the Moon Angst. Greed. Alienation. Questioning one's own sanity. Weird time signatures. Experimental sounds. In 1973, Pink Floyd was a somewhat known progressive rock band, but it was this, their ninth album, that catapulted them into world class rock-star status. “The Dark Side of the Moon” spent an astonishing 14 years on the “Billboard” album charts, and sold an estimated 45 million copies. It is a work of outstanding artistry, skill, and craftsmanship that is popular in its reach and experimental in its grasp. An engineering masterpiece, the album received a Grammy nomination for best engineered non-classical recording, based on beautifully captured instrumental tones and a warm, lush soundscape. Engineer Alan Parsons and Mixing Supervisor Chris Thomas, who had worked extensively with The Beatles (the LP was mastered by engineer Wally Traugott), introduced a level of sonic beauty and clarity to the album that propelled the music off of any sound system to become an all- encompassing, immersive experience. In his 1973 review, Lloyd Grossman wrote in “Rolling Stone” magazine that Pink Floyd’s members comprised “preeminent techno-rockers: four musicians with a command of electronic instruments who wield an arsenal of sound effects with authority and finesse.” The used their command to create a work that introduced several generations of listeners to art-rock and to elements of 1950s cool jazz. Some reharmonization of chords (as on “Breathe”) was inspired by Miles Davis, explained keyboardist Rick Wright.

Estuve meditando durante un tiempo hasta que la iluminación llego a mi mente y recordé cuales fueron mis orígenes en la música. Hace ya mucho tiempo, cuando era un adolescente, entre en el mundo del rock de la mano de lo que en aquella época se llamaba “rock sinfónico”. Mi fascinación por este género era total y el instrumento que me imaginaba tocando eran los teclados, con el tiempo comprendí que no tenía capacidad para asumir semejante tarea. Hablar de sintetizadores, órganos, mellotrones, etc, para mí sería un placer pero entiendo que para la mayoría de los mortales podría suponer un gran dolor de cabeza. Por todo ello creo que mi colaboración puede versar sobre los teclistas del rock. RICK WAKEMAN No pretendo contar exhaustivamente la obra y milagros de este genio, eso sería muy largo y tedioso, simplemente daré unas pinceladas sobre su trayectoria basándome en mi experiencia. Rick Wakeman nació en 1,949 en Perivale, Londres, y como era de esperar estudio diversos instrumentos entre ellos el piano, pero el bueno de Rick era un inconformista y no se regía por los cánones clásicos por lo cual fue expulsado del Royal College Music.

  • Pink Floyd – Live at Knebworth 1990
    Pink Floyd – Live At Knebworth 1990 (55:45, CD, LP, Digital, Parlophone/Warner, 1990/2021) Es war zu erwarten, dass die einzelnen Elemente des teuren „The Later Years“-Boxsets nach und nach auch als Standalone- Veröffentlichungen eintrudeln würden. Nachdem schon relativ kurz nach der Box die überarbeitete „Delicate Sound Of Thunder“ in den Regalen stand, gibt’s nun mit „Live At Knebworth 1990“ das nächste Liveschnittchen derGilmour - geführten Pink Floyd. Nun waren Pink Floyd bei besagtem Konzert nur einer von vielen Mega-Acts und spielten deshalb auch nur ein knappes Festivalset-Stündchen – wie Dire Straits, Phil Collins (mit Genesis-Gastauftritt), Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, Tears For Fears und Status Quo auch. Auf Live-Raritäten oder Experimente muss man hier also verzichten. Neben dem damals noch einigermaßen aktuellen ‚Sorrow‘ gibt’s hier lediglich je zwei Songs von „The Wall“ (‚Run Like Hell‘, ‚Comfortably Numb‘), zwei von „Wish You Were Here“ (‚Shine On…‘ und den Titelsong) sowie unvermeidlicherweise auch zwei von „Dark Side Of The Moon“ – ‚Money‘ und ‚The Great Gig In The Sky‘. Der Grund für die Auswahl des Letzteren dürfte darin zu finden sein, das an diesem Abend mit Clare Torry die Originalsängerin des Stücks mit Floyd auf der Bühne stand. Damit sind wir auch schon bei der Besonderheit dieses Knebworth-Auftritts: die prominenten Gäste. Pink Floyd waren ja nicht unbedingt dafür bekannt, sich Freunde auf die Bühne einzuladen. Da fallen den Meisten wohl nur Billy Corgan 1996 in der Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, Frank Zappa 1969 auf einem Festival in Belgien und Douglas Adams 1994 im Earls Court ein, und so ist das Auftauchen gleich dreier Nicht-Bandmitglieder schon ein Grund für Sammler, das vorliegende Album in die Sammlung einzureihen.

  • The Great Gig in the Sky
    ABOUT THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY “The Great Gig in the Sky” is the fifth track on The Dark Side of the Moon, the 1973 album by the English rock band Pink Floyd. It features vocals by Clare Torry. The song talks to the pressure of mortality on life, with the “Great Gig in the Sky” being a reference to heaven or an afterlife What have the artists said about the song? Almost everyone involved in this song with the exception of drummer Nick Mason has commented about the production, offering different inputs and insights about how the song was created. Great Gig in the Sky? It was just me playing in the studio, playing some chords, and probably Dave or Roger saying “Hmm… that sounds nice. Maybe we could use that for this part of the album.” And then, me going away and trying to develop it. So then I wrote the music for that, and then there was a middle bit, with Clare Torry singing, that fantastic voice. We wanted something for that bit, and she came in and sang on it. Richard Wright, taken from 1984 interview with Charlie Kendall It was something that Rick had already written. It’s a great chord sequence. “The Great Gig in the Sky” and the piano part on “Us and Them,” in my view, are the best things that Rick did – they’re both really beautiful. And Alan [Parsons] suggested Clare Torry. I’ve no idea whose idea it was to have someone wailing on it. Clare came into the studio one day, and we said, “There’s no lyrics.

  • Abstract Music Is an Essential Part of Our Lives. the World Wouldn't Be The
    Abstract Music is an essential part of our lives. The world wouldn’t be the same without it. Everyone is so enthralled by music that whether they are bored or they are working, music is often times the thing that they want to have playing in the background of their life. A. The wide range of genres allows people to choose the type of music they want to listen to. The music can range from soothing and light forms to the heavy metal instrumentals and vocals. Many singers and artists are working in the music industry, and many of them have served a lot to this industry. Best sellers of the artists are appreciated in the whole world. It is known know, music knows no boundaries are when a singer does a fantastic job; they become famous all across the globe. Sadly, as time goes on musicians pass away however, their legacy remains very much alive have passed, but their names are still alive. The world still listens to their music and appreciates their work. One such singer is Michael Jackson. His album Thriller broke the records and was the best seller. No one can be neat the files of the king of pop. Similarly, Pink Floyd made records by their album The Dark Side of the Moon. It was an enormous economic and critical success.

  • Brit Floyd Comes to the Vets
    Brit Floyd Comes to The Vets Okee dokee folks… Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour turned 74 years old a couple of days ago, and Roger Waters is 76 as is Nick Mason. Founding members Richard Wright and Syd Barrett have passed away. The band has not played together in many, many years and for all intents and purposes Pink Floyd is no more. Their music, however, lives on. More than 250 million Pink Floyd albums have been sold worldwide. David Gilmour doesn’t tour very often. Roger Waters performed at the Newport Folk Festival a couple of years ago and will be in Boston this coming July. While he surely will perform Floyd cuts you probably won’t get to hear some of the deep cuts or many of the songs that you would like to. One cure for this lack of Pink is Brit Floyd, “The World’s Greatest Pink Floyd Show” from England. They will be bringing their Echoes 2020 production to Veterans Memorial Auditorium on Tuesday, March 10. I spoke with Brit Floyd guitarist Damian Darlington via phone about the band and their upcoming show at Vets. Brit Floyd just returned from a mini tour of Japan so I asked what other countries that they have performed in. He informed me that they have performed “in just about every country in Europe” as well as Lebanon, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, and “all sorts of places!” Being in a tribute band myself, I was curious as to how he wound up part of this Floyd Tribute. As he put it, “A chance opportunity that came my way” landed Damian in another Pink Floyd tribute starting back in ’94 and lasted for 17 years.
