Ah they've corrected it now. Curses. It was accompanied by a photo of the Barret era Floyd!

Must admit, I've never understood the appeal of Pink Floyd, partly because of the funny name. I just don't get it!

It's not their best work. It's (part 2) not even the best part of Another Brick in the Wall, Part 1 is a lot better.
You want to listen to stuff from Wish You Were Here and Animals. Shine On You Crazy Diamond is the best piece of music ever (and was in Hitch Hikers).
You will be educated on your next visit to the DFiS

Never. Never. Dreadful music.
But I shall shush. Have no wish to derail an appreciation thread further!

If you're judging by the Wall then you have the wrong vision of them.
I'll play you their version of the Doctor Who theme.....

Mine arrived t'other day. Decided for this one I'd actually hook up the CD player again and listen proper like. But knowing it's basically offcuts from the Division Bell I'm not expecting brilliance.
Think that swirly card is the best use of lenticular tech I've ever seen though. It's really cool.

Just coasting gently to the end of my first listen to Rattle That Lock, which until I saw it in Sainsbury's on Friday I didn't even know was coming.
So I reconnected the stereo at Christmas to listen to The Endless River and have since gone back to listening to music on a proper system with proper speakers regularly. Dave Gilmore's latest doesn't disappoint. Magical. Essential for fans of his sound. It may actually make you float.

This new boxset is a bit much init? 27 CDs covering five years of output 67-72 and four hundred quid?!
Four hundred!?
Might get the two CD highlights version.

I can't say I'm really excited by this. A similar 73-78 set I'd be all over. Phil a decent quality version of Echoes from The Empire Pool concert which is scattered over the the Experience editions. I've got a bootleg vinyl of it but .... also official versions of the New York WYWH and US Animals tour.
Lots of complaints online that a particular track, Vegetable Man, isn't on the 2cd set.

I did wonder if it meant it would be followed by a similar set covering the glory years, but then there have been expensive solo releases covering the big albums from that era in recent years. The immersion editions.
I like complete sets, but I don't think I'd get £400 worth of pleasure from that.

Gentlemen, I... I'm ashamed to say my knowledge of PF is rather gappy. I have resolved to increase my experience of their music.
Therefore I ask you which is the best 'best of' to get? Echoes or Foot in the Door? I need a quick intro type thing to listen to in the car.
Thanking you in advance for not judging me too harshly.

I'd need to check what's on which.
But honestly you'l probably better buying Wish You Were Here then Dark Side Of The Moon

Post by Pinwig on Jan 19, 2019 16:11:06 GMT
Quick check reveals Foot in the Door is a single disc and Echoes is of course two. There are only three tracks on Foot in the Door that aren't on Echoes (Phil for ref: Brain Damage, Eclipse and Have a Cigar), and Echoes is a much wider selection.
Thing about Floyd is that you have three distinct eras that sound quite different and it's usually the middle one that gets all the recognition. Echoes will give you bits of all of them. Go for Echoes to get a bit of everything, then follow what sounds good to you. You can't really go wrong with Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon for the 'middle' era, but I'd really recommend The Division Bell (a later 80s one) and once you've got your head round that The Wall is truly amazing.

Good man, what we listened to so far? Just the obvious A-listers so far. I got 'Foot in the Door'. And indeed it is. So getting to grips with these before... delving deeper... Comfortably numb has me spell-bound though. Listen to it over and over and over again... What would you recommend next? DSOTM? EDIT: I got Foot in the Door over Echoes simply 'cos it happened to be cheaper at that moment on-line. |
