I love and have seen Pink Floyd but this is another example of them or more likely the record company fleecing the fans, stick a previously unrecorded tune etc etc. Personally I think its pathetic but lots of other bands do it as well.

He's not doing anyone any harm I don't think (at least not with his guitar playing). Most rock musicians are plagarising someone else's work most of the time. Most jazzers you hear below the top tier are blatant copyists too and they will buy Jaco's (or whoever's) exact kit in hope of emulating him. This is just another form of Stars In Their Eyes. Stars In Their Eyes gone Prog.

I have to concur with the general consensus that these are three albums I probably don't need to buy again. I love Floyd to bits but it's odd how over time these are the three records I get least out of. That might just be over-exposure although The Wall I've always found a bit of a turgid slog. Part of me hopes they reform because there's a core soul about them that's uplifting, emotional and optimistic. You can see it in Waters' regret-guilt over Syd and recently Dave's genuine upset over Wright. So much middle-class repression that just needs exorcising and by jiminy we need a bit of optimism right now.
I think if they could do it it would be immense.

Just watching Pompeii now on youtube. So had a look see here to see if anything had been said.
I just love this. All of it. The whole thing. From the first Sonar Ping of Echoes part 1 to the final fade out.
Also check out Mason in the Pompeii version of One Of These Days.

Awesome musicians each, who somehow were greater than the sum of their parts, at least then.
They never quite fitted the rock mould. break down half of Led Zepellin's songs, and they were about interpersonal relationships. Woman, I'm going to leave you now. You'd be pushed to find a Pink Floyd love song.
Pillow of Winds is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.
always something deeper and more abstract.
