  • Þáttur 4.Odt
    Heart Beat, Pig Meat Good afternoon. My name is Björgvin Rúnar Leifsson and this is an episode about Pink Floyd. 1970 was an album-rich year for Pink Floyd, so to speak. They released the compilation album "The best of Pink Floyd" with songs from "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" and singles from 1967 and 68 and I own this album in a rare, Dutch version. I got this album for free many years ago with the words that I deserved it much more than a famous radio show host in Iceland at that time, who had offered the owner big money for the album but was rejected. For some reason, all the songs on this album are in mono. This same album was re-released in stereo in 1974 under the name "Masters of Rock" and of course I own it too. Barrett released two solo albums in 1970 with the help of his former bandmates, "The Madcap Laughs" and "Barrett" and they became his last contribution to the rock world though an attempt was made to squeeze more drops of blood out of him much later with the release of "Opel" in 1988. Then there was the collaboration album between Waters and Ron Geesin, "Music of the Body", released at the end of the year, where those two experimented with all sorts of body sounds for a movie, which was called "The Body". In March 1970, the album "Zabriskie Point" was released with songs from the director Michelangelo Antonioni's film of the same name, which takes place at the end of the sixties, partly in a town of the same name, in Death Valley and deals with the underground culture of the United States in those years.

  • Atom Heart Mother Est Une Oeuvre Singulière Qu'on a Qualifiée D'énigme : Existe-T-Il Un Rapport Entre Le Titre, La Pochette
    Atom Heart Mother est une oeuvre singulière qu'on a qualifiée d'énigme : existe-t-il un rapport entre le titre, la pochette, et la musique ? Titre-pochette : lait (voir ci-dessous la magnifique version des élèves du CNSM de Paris), pochette-musique : vache des westerns ? … Finalement, il n'y a sans doute rien à expliquer. Le compositeur Ron Geesin dit d'ailleurs apprécier l'absurdité, et être influencé par le surréalisme (voir « les cadavres exquis ). Le rapport titre-pochette-musique m'évoque un cadavre exquis. Le rock progressif anglais se dit influencé par le surréalisme. de Patchwork : « Cet album était un patchwork confus » (David Gilmour). Effectivement, les pièces mises bout à bout n'ont pas forcément de rapport entre elles, si ce n'est un fil conducteur de mi mineur. d'oeuvre charnière, charnière entre la musique savante et la musique populaire, mais charnière aussi dans la carrière du groupe entre l'héritage pop des Beatles et le sommet en mars 1973, avec l'album The Dark Side of the Moon qui restera plus de 14 ans dans le top 200 (record absolu) et le 3e album le plus vendu au monde, album dans lequel le séquenceur fait son apparition. d'Odyssée (terme employé par Roger Waters) ou de poème symphonique avec 6 parties dont les titres forment une sorte de lien : Father's Shout , Breast Milky , Mother Fore, Funky Dung Mind your Throats Please , Remergence. Le mouvement Rock est issu du blues. Le premier succès mondial du rock'n'roll est Rock around the Clock de Bill Haley en 1954 aux USA.

For the first time a book sets out information on practically everyone active with experimental electronics and tape recording across the country, to reveal the untold stories and hidden history of early British electronic music.

There are sections for EMS and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, as well as amateurs, groups and ensembles that experimented with electronics, including the Beatles, Hawkwind and White Noise.

  • BEFORE and AFTER the WALL Before and Especially After the Huge Concert “The Wall” of Roger Waters in Bucharest on August
    BEFORE AND AFTER THE WALL Before and especially after the huge concert “The Wall” of Roger Waters in Bucharest on August 28, I deemed it necessary to point out the numerous lesser-known issues on the 11th Pink Floyd album, about the bassist, composer and lyricist Roger Waters and on the musical context of pre achieve "The Wall”. The need of reliving "The Wall” was imposed by the author himself who wanted to show us the album / show updated with the latest multimedia technology. The resuming / reconsideration proposed below I consider it relevant both for the old generation who may have forgotten and for the new generation who is just now discovering "The Wall”. In the approach of the "The Wall” it should not be forgotten the disc " Atom Heart Mother " made by Pink Floyd in 1970 in collaboration with composer, conductor and arranger Ron Geesin . In this album which appeared 10 years before "The Wall” the symphonic parts act as a bridge between pieces, at the recordings participated the Symphonic Orchestra of EMI and the John Aldiss Choir. With this album, Pink Floyd became a founding member of the symphonic rock. In the alternative, a legitimate question may be asked, who is the author of these lines and what legitimacy does he have to give lessons in music history? Before The Wall Before entering the core of "The Wall” it is correct to analyze the activity of the Pink Floyd in the 10 years before the apparition of the album at the end of the seventh decade. During 1970 - 1980 the music scene was dominated by the progressive rock explosion, intellectual and refined branch of traditional rock through both complex compositions and special texts.

    Product overview: 1965-1967 CAMBRIDGE ST/ATION Covering Syd Barrett’s time with the band, from the pre-EMI demos, through the non-album hit singles and related tracks, the first volume also features previously unreleased tracks like Vegetable Man and In The Beechwoods (newly mixed), plus BBC session recordings. Pink Floyd have also acquired the tapes of an unreleased 1967 concert in Stockholm. The DVD/Blu-ray includes historic TV performances plus some of Pink Floyd’s own film material. 1968 GERMIN/ATION This volume explores the time immediately after Syd Barrett’s departure, when Pink Floyd were still writing singles and at the same time developing their own unique, more instrumentally-based style. There are non-album single releases, plus a recently discovered session at Capitol Records studios in Los Angeles, BBC sessions and other tracks. DVD/Blu-ray includes the recently restored promo clip of Point Me At The Sky, some international TV performances and a selection of song material from other television shows. 1969 DRAMATIS/ATION In 1969 Pink Floyd unveiled their 2-part conceptual live production of ‘The Man’ and ‘The Journey’, covering a 24-hour period of dreaming, waking and other activities. Never released in that form, however some of the songs were used on the ‘More’ soundtrack and the ‘Ummagumma’ album. This volume refers back to ‘The Man’ and ‘The Journey’ tour with live performances in Amsterdam and for the BBC in London, but also includes the bonus tracks from the ‘More’ soundtrack that were used in the film but not on record, plus non-album tracks like the early version of Embryo from the Harvest sampler ‘Picnic’.

  • Stevenston Heritage Trail Route (A
    Stevenston Heritage Trail Route Letters for each plaque can be found on the map above. Start at Kerelaw Castle (A) Kerelaw Castle, 15th century on; Cunningham stronghold Northwest of Campbell Avenue, KA20 4BS OS Grid Reference - NS 26896 42855 Note the old bridge next to the castle over the burn. This led to where Kerelaw Mansion1 was. The estate of Kerelaw was originally the seat of Stephen Lockhart who was known to possess the property as long ago as 1191. Indeed, it is Stephen that the town of Stevenston is named after. Kerelaw passed from the Lockharts to the Campbells of Loudon with Bruce granting them a charter of the land in 1318 and about this time the first castle was built. Again Kerelaw passed onto another powerful family; the Cunninghames of Kilmaurs and Glencairn. The old castle was razed by the Eglintons in 1488 during their feud with the now Earls of Glencairn. A new castle was raised and occupied by several owners until 1787. Kerelaw today is a fine looking ruin, as ruins go, with many architectural features; doors, windows, fireplaces and the like, still to be seen. On to the next stop Follow the footpath south to Campbell Avenue and continue to the path at the rear of McGregor Avenue. This path takes you along the Stevenston Burn to Glencairn Street. Cross Glencairn Street and follow the path beside the burn. (For an easier walking route not using the burn path – continue on Campbell Avenue to Reid’s Avenue and turn go to McGregor Avenue. Turn right again and continue to Glencairn Street, turn right and cross over to the burn path.)

    Pages 186-208 (26-04-10) 18/5/10 17:05 Page 188 10 REPLICATING THE BLACK FENDER DAVID GILMOUR SIGNATURE MODEL David had refused previous requests from Fender to copy his guitar, however, he was now assured that a definitive, high quality replica of his Black Stratocaster could be achieved at a cost that was affordable to both fans and guitar players. In October 2006 Mike Eldred (head of Fender Custom Shop) and Todd Krause (Fender master builder) arrived in England to dissect, measure and take specific details in order to make a prototype replica of the Black Strat. Several months later a specially adapted Stratocaster test guitar arrived with five pickguards, each fitted with sets of different pickups. These were changeable within seconds to enable pickup comparisons to be easily made. In April 2007 the first prototype of the Black Strat arrived in England. Overall, it was found to be a good replication, requiring but a few changes. David compared his original Black Strat to the prototype and the different pickups in the test guitar to find the closest match. Over the next few months, three further modified prototypes followed for approval. Before Fender would be allowed to begin production, the guitar had to meet David’s high standards and be the best replica possible.
