What are you listening to Part the Third


Voltron

Recommended Posts

Yeah, best rock instrumental performance for that year or something.

I actually really adore A Momentary Lapse of Reason. You should revisit that one as well.

Yes, Sorrow is one of my fav PF tracks.

Final Cut does not get much love either (often referred to as Roger's first solo album) but it's one of my favorites.

My only problem with MLOR was that it was sold as a pink floyd album. It was Bob Ezrin and David Gilmore. I think of The Wall and The Final Cut as being Roger Waters albums, tho. I much prefer Animals. I do enjoy the Final Cut and MLoR for what they are tho.

MLOR sounds more like a Pink Floyd album than Final Cut does, though. I mean, if you've heard David Gilmour's solo albums, it doesn't sound like a David Gilmour solo album. It sounds like a Pink Floyd album. It was David Gilmour in full Pink Floyd mode, so I don't have a problem with it being sold that way. I mean, if you didn't follow the proceedings, I'm not sure you'd be able to tell.

sure, but sounding like a pink floyd album doesn't make it one...
Actually, that's exactly what I meant -- that he succeeded...in making a Pink Floyd album.

I mean, "the pink floyd sound" is so rare, that even when a band has a serious Pink Floyd bent to them (Antimatter, Porcupine Tree), they sound like they have a serious Pink Floyd bent, but they don't sound like Pink Floyd, like they're trying to be Pink Floyd. Whereas aMLoR sounds like a Pink Floyd album through-and-through. Heck, he even brought the sound up to date, with the opening percussive thrums of "Yet Another Movie" and the sparse yet detailed vocoder sounds of "A New Machine".

EDIT: Besides, it says, "Pink Floyd" right on it. Didn't they, like, win that particular lawsuit?
