  • “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.

  • PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - the Endless River, Release Date 10 November
    2014-09-22 16:05 CEST PINK FLOYD ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DETAILS - The Endless River, release date 10 november. Details about The Endless River, the new Pink Floyd album from David Gilmour, Rick Wright and Nick Mason, were revealed today as the album artwork appeared on buildings in ten international cities, including an eight metre lit installation on London’s South Bank. The album will be released on Parlophone on 10 November and is produced by David Gilmour, Phil Manzanera, Youth and Andy Jackson. David Gilmour said: “The Endless River has as its starting point the music that came from the 1993 Division Bell sessions. We listened to over 20 hours of the three of us playing together and selected the music we wanted to work on for the new album. Over the last year we've added new parts, re-recorded others and generally harnessed studio technology to make a 21st century Pink Floyd album. With Rick gone, and with him the chance of ever doing it again, it feels right that these revisited and reworked tracks should be made available as part of our repertoire.” Nick Mason said: “The Endless River is a tribute to Rick. I think this record is a good way of recognizing a lot of what he does and how his playing was at the heart of the Pink Floyd sound. Listening back to the sessions, it really brought home to me what a special player he was.” The Endless River is mainly an instrumental album across ‘four sides’ with one song, ‘Louder Than Words’ with new lyrics by Polly Samson.

A couple of “Syd’s father’s death affected him very heavily,” explained haunting cuts on A Saucerful Of Secrets (1968), 1970’s scratchy Gilmour, “and his mother always pampered him—made him out solo albums The Madcap Laughs and Barrett, and outtakes and to be a genius of sorts.” Too fragile for stardom and damaged by radio sessions complete his catalog.

  • 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.

  • Pink Floyd Sogni E Visioni Stellari Anselmo Patacchini
    Pink Floyd Sogni e visioni stellari Anselmo Patacchini rassegna domenicale The Spontaneous Underground organizzata dal duo Steve Stollman e da John Hopkins. I Pink Floyd si cimentarono in lunghe e sconvolgenti versioni di Roadrunner e di altri pezzi di Chuck Berry, divertendosi, inoltre, a sovrapporre strati di feedback a volume altissimo. Peter Jenner (professore alla London School Of Economics) e l'amico Andrew King rimasero inebriati da quelle sonorità fuori dagli schemi e decisero di puntare su quei quattro talentuosi ragazzi a tal punto da formare assieme a loro la Blackhill Enterprises, società che avrebbe curato il management. Il 15 ottobre i Pink Floyd, o meglio, la Pink Floyd Steel Band - così annunciavano le locandine dell'epoca - assieme ai Soft Machine «Il sole splende sul mio cuscino/più Questo articolo, che riporta le fasi - gruppo di punta - si cimentarono salienti della lunga carriera dei mitici alla Roundhouse (una vecchia soffice di un piumino.../Vorrei che il Pink Floyd dagli esordi sino al 1969, stazione ferroviaria londinese in salice piangente agitasse intorno i vuole essere un doveroso omaggio disuso) che festeggiava con uno rami.../Sogno Julia/la sogno regina, alla figura di Syd Barrett, il geniale scatenato All Night-Rave la nascita artista passato a miglior vita lo dell'International Times (IT), la regina di tutti i miei sogni...» scorso 7 luglio.

  • 'All Movements Are Accomplished in Six Stages, and the Seventh Brings
    ‘All movements are accomplished in six stages, and the seventh brings return. Thus the winter solstice, with which the decline of the year begins, comes in the seventh month after the summer solstice. So too sunrise comes in the seventh double hour after sunset. Seven is the number of the young light, and it arises when six, the number of the great darkness, is increased by one. In this way, the state of rest gives place to movement. In winter the life energy, symbolized by thunder, the Arousing, is still underground. Movement is just at its beginning.’ I Ching: Book of Changes Chapter 24: Fû/Return – The Turning Point Richard Wilhelm, translator, 1950 Thanks to Blackhill Enterprises, Pink Floyd started receiving significant mainstream media coverage. Jenner and King, for all their managerial inexperience, had an immediate knack for getting their boys into print. Music weekly spreads led to features in fashion and lifestyle magazines Queen and Town. In London, Pink Floyd had built a cult following without releasing a single. On 5 January, at their Marquee mini-residency, Joe Boyd brought Chris Beard of underground jug band the Purple Gang to meet them in the tiny dressing room. As Syd wailed on ‘Astronomy Dominé’ Beard recalled the oil-wheel light show and the pilot lights on Binson units blinking in the dark. Under the candy-striped awning, they found mods stood stock-still in silence, getting their heads around this new music. Record Mirror reported: ‘Excellent and extremely exciting, but I couldn’t help thinking how dangerous this free-form thing could be in the hands of not such good musicians.’ The first British band to have an integral visual unit, Pink Floyd’s underground following increased by bounds.
