"Pink Floyd": On Record, on Stage and on Film 1965-2005 - The Ultimate Critical Review of the Music of "Pink Floyd": On Record, on ... Critical Review of the Music of "Pink Floyd"
Often cited as a holy grail of early Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd television footage, the band's performances of See Emily Play on the BBC's Top Of The Pops weekly music programme [click thumbnail, right] have long been missing. The BBC had a disastrous policy of wiping recordings in the earlier days of the corporation, so that they could re-use the tapes as a cost-cutting measure. Many classic performances...

via Boele of SCD on the Waldorf list: http://www.synthmusic.info/mpdries/ModMemMan.mp3 "Here's a test sound with my Blofeld going through a modified Electro Harmonix Memoryman de Luxe analog delay. The 4 MN3008 (2048 stage BBD) chips are exchanged with MN3005s 4096 stage BBD). This doubles the delaytime, gives a little bit more analog (= nice) distortion when feedback is opened up. Also the opamps...
COVERING ALL THE BASES On Tuesday I went to a small studio off Albert Bridge Road, by Battersea Park in London, to see an exhibition opening, Hipgnosis: For The Love of Vinyl . Hipgnosis were a design studio in the Seventies and Eighties who created the covers to many of the decade's most iconic albums including Led Zeppelin's Houses of The Holy , Presence and Coda , Pink Floyd's Dark Side of The Moon...
There was much confusion on the way to the Decemberist's gig. It could have been from their own lyrics: And remember how you found the key To the hide-out in the Pyrenees But you wanted to keep the secret safe So you threw the key away. I'd arrived at the agreed meeting place early, with a key to let myself in to wait. Except it didn't work. So I headed for the river for to wait a while for liberation...
[Posted by Karl] If the polls were a record, they would sound like the beginning of Pink Floyd’s “Time.” Public Policy Polling (PPP) — a Democratic firm — has a raft of numbers, almost none comforting to Democrats. Following up on the troubles of Rep. Vic Snyder in Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District — where Barack Obama had his [...]
Can any Word reader recall any seminal bands that have spawned equally essential or even greater solo artists? No? Thought so. A few examples of the "Great Solo Folly": the Stones - the world didn't exactly hold it's breath for those solo Keef or Mick efforts did it'; The Who (don't even start); ditto Dexy's (Kevin Rowland); Pink Floyd (name five solo Floyd albums'); Television (solo Verlaine/Lloyd...
Spinner : The first three products will be Rolling Stones ‘Forty Licks Merlot,’ ‘Woodstock Chardonnay’ and Pink Floyd’s ‘The Dark Side of the Moon Cabernet Sauvignon.’ These wines, which will retail for around $17 a pop, were previewed backstage at the VIP & Artists lounges during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concerts in New York last month. “Traditionally...
Bluebeat founder Hank Risan says he sank $20 million into an effort to revolutionize digital music delivery. But he flushed it all the day he offered Beatles tracks for a quarter a pop, a judge has ruled. U.S. District Judge John F. Walter issued a preliminary injunction against BlueBeat.com and Basebeat.com , handing a victory to music company EMI Group, which sued Risan and his companies recently....

Bleurrgh. That's how I'm feeling right now. Blarrgh is another one. Now that that Acoustics essay has been done and has been handed in, I can have a short time to relax before falling back into the frenzied panic that is my usual working attitude. I was feeling alright all through yesterday, and then out of no-where - wallop - feeling sick, feeling tired... I think it's fatigue. Or exhaustion. Maybe...
There is a reason I haven't been around for a bit. Homercat has finally acquired a turntable and he has been rediscovering the vinyl age. So all those vinyl albums that have been sitting around forever finally got to have their moment in the sun again. The price was right too, as in free. We were at a friends house that has tons of vinyl and he showed me crates and crates of stuff that he was going...
