Recorded over the end of 1967 and early 1968, A Saucerful Of Secrets is transitional record that marked Syd Barrett’s final recordings with Pink Floyd and the birth of their ‘space rock’ direction. It was also the recorded debut of new boy David Gilmour, finding his feet only on the incredible yet somewhat buried solo at the end of “Let There Be More Light”.A Saucerful Of Secrets is not without filler, catching the band regrouping after Barrett’s departure – Rick Wrigh (more…)

For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle’s opener, “One of These Days”, Pink Floyd really weren’t about to “cut you into little pieces”. Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. It also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised–that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspir (more…)

Conceived by the French director Adrian Maben as “an anti-Woodstock film,” Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii was shot in October 1971 in the ancient city’s vacant, 2,000-year-old amphitheatre–a venue chosen to accentuate the grandeur and spaciousness of the band’s Meddle-era music. This disc contains a new, 90-minute director’s cut as well as the original 60-minute concert film, whose production and effects feel inescapably dated. Maben’s cut goes to great lengths (more…)

Echoes is a double-CD collection of some of Pink Floyd’s best songs; it’s also an interesting document of the band’s history. They began life as Syd Barrett’s mandrax-flavoured nursery-rhymers–gnomes, scarecrows, cats and bikes a speciality–before clasping the wings of Icarus and ascending towards the sun on an epic space-rock odyssey, eventually turning left once they reached the dark side of the moon and burning up on re-entry, crash-landing on every earth (more…)

In the grand, colour-bending tradition of psychedelic experimentalism, Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother takes as its title an inscrutable phrase and under the title launches a similarly inscrutable–or at least dense–musical concatenation. The title suite features French-horn-led brass melodies riffed on by David Gilmour’s guitar and the rhythm section, all of which veers into choral passages that recall György Ligeti’s vocal works and then almost atonal pulse (more…)

After Roger Waters’s departure from Pink Floyd in 1985, remaining members David Gilmore and Nick Mason decided to continue. The massive 155-date world tour that they embarked on in 1988 in the wake of the success of the Momentary Lapse Of Reason album featured one of the most spectacular live shows ever put together. With state-of-the-art lights and lasers perfectly synchronised with the music, a stage festooned with huge inflatable beds and pigs and a band fe (more…)
