[apinagez]

I don't like his stuff as much :|

[WutangFlu]

Wait is this already out? i see reviews at the bottom but it says it releases May 7th 2006 and i don't think its been May 7th. maybe im wrong.

 

 

 

I have it, :)

[How2PK]

I have it, :)

 

 

 

You bought it now too? It's been out for like a month or so now, BTW.

 

 

 

The album is alright, bit of the same though. Not that amazing.

[Mercifull]

I heard it when i was in a music store in holland and i saw the live recording on BBCi a few weeks ago. Was good but i woudlnt buy it. Bit too samey.

[How2PK]

Yea, what do they call it. Old wine in new bags? Or was it new wine from old bags? :lol:

I know what you mean, i've got the album and it is fairly consistent throughout. It's quite nice though for background music when i'm working or reading though.

I was thinking about going to a David Gilmour concert. No money though. I had the change to pay only 150 bucks for seats at the back. Oh joy...Plus I would have needed to find a way to get to Toronto.

Talking about concerts... about 1-2 years ago Waters played here and I couldn't go! :cry: now I dont know when Gilmour or Waters will play again... Sad.

Pff, what's interesting about a Floyd concert nowadays. We've missed the entire thing anyway, we'd just see a bunch of old people preforming music with a light show, like they used to do, but it isn't what it used to be anymore. I'd rather spend my money on another concert. It's sad though.

I would like to see a Floyd playing once in my life...

 

I saw lots of live Shows in DVD, I would like to see one, just one and I'd be happy. But yeah, depending on how much it would be, I'd rather spent in someting else...

But they're amazing people to see playing Daan.

 

I'd make sure I go if one of them was of have a concert here :)

[WutangFlu]

Yes, their concerts are some of the best of ANY band...

[6cheesepie9]

Pink Floyd is an awesome band.

 

 

 

I currently own Wish you Were Here, The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Echoes (Best of), Umma Gumma, P-U-L-S-E, Atom Heart Mother, A Momentary Lapse of Reason and the Division Bell.

 

 

 

I'll say favourite songs from each of those:

 

 

 

Wish you Were Here and Have a Cigar - Wish you Were Here

 

 

 

Comfortably Numb and Another Brick in the Wall Part 1 - The Wall

 

 

 

Breathe and Money - Dark Side of the Moon

 

 

 

Dogs and Pigs(3 different ones) - Animals

 

 

 

Keep Talking (from the Division Bell) - Echoes

 

 

 

Astronomy Domine and Careful with that Axe, Eugene - Umma Gumma

 

 

 

Sorrow and Time - P-U-L-S-E

 

 

 

Fat Old Sun and If - Atom Heart Mother

 

 

 

Learning To Fly and Terminal Frost - A Momentary Lapse of Reason

 

 

 

Marooned and What do you Want From me - The Division Bell

 

 

 

All great songs that I suggest listening to if you haven't already.

 

 

 

Oh, and another suggestion, the Wish you Were Here Album, Dark Side of the Moon, and Animals album are all amazing to listen to in sequence. Try it.

If I'm ever listening to an album, I refuse to even start it if I don't have enough time to get through the whole album with no interuptions. It drives me insane to get interupted in the middle of an experience that great. I also turn it up to as loud as it goes, both to drown out all outside noise, and so I can hear every single little detail, every drum beat, and every single note.

 

 

 

If anyones listening to Pink Floyd on an iPod, they're seriously missing something (unless you're listening to it at home). I can't even imagine listening to Floyd on an mp3 player while walking around a noisy town. I'd probably go insane.

Very true. It's impossible, even because Floyd's songs have those moments when you have to pay much attention to listen to what's being played (like on the beggining of Wish you were here and on Shine on you crazy diamond).

[WutangFlu]

i prefer cd player/computer to an mp3 player honestly..

[How2PK]

i had it 2 days or so before it came out ;)

 

 

 

You don't need to tell me that, lol.

I listen to Pink Floyd in my iPod everywere I go, but the musics we have to pay attention I also hear (in iPod) at the silence of my house, while reading.

When you listen to Pink Floyd on an iPod without paying proper attention, you'll even think the ending of Time has the same lyrics as Speak To Me/Breathe.

No, I don't think you would.

[How2PK]

I think we're giving Floyd a bit too much credit if we say you can't listen to it on an MP3 player because the music is too complicating.

[Pete_the_Viscous]

I wouldn't listen to Pink Floyd on bad earphones, but then, I wouldn't listen to any music on bad earphones. I say bad: really bad, such as those that come free with stuff -- not the same bad that some speaker elitist might mean.

 

 

 

If anything, something link this (Pink Floyd music) should be more acceptable with poor sound quality -- it being more than just constant screaming and incredibly fast drumming, which sounds terrible on most earphones (not just because it sounds terrible in any speakers at all, either).

 

 

 

I've got reasonable earphones (I think, anyway: Shure E2c), but they're not as good sound quality as my speakers at home. Still, I sometimes hear new things in the music because of the change in quality.
