You ain't heard Pink Floyd like this...
- Thread starter Andre Marc
- Start date
I wrote a review of it for my college newspaper (from a pre-release promo copy), and as a Pink Floyd fan (of their material up to that time) I wasn't too happy with the new direction DSOTM heralded...DSOTM was released 42 years ago!, Four years after man landed on the bright side of the moon (actually all sides of the moon get dark over a month.) How many of you weren't born yet?

With this insipid version, I 100% agree
So please, tell us, what is so 'insipid' about it?
Or is anything that just happens to be not of your taste, 'insipid'?
And no, I don't see this as 'jazz lite'. I say this as one who listens to the most hardcore avantgarde that would have many people run for the door screaming...
And even more with Obscurred By Clouds, but since that was a soundtrack I hoped it was an aberration...

I like Jazz, however not bland ho hum cover versions like this imo. We have heard this stuff a 1000 times before. Does nobody actually write new Jazz music anymore?
But that is the great thing about music - one persons fillet steak is another's dead cow.
On a totally different note...
One of my favorite all time singers is the great Bettye LaVette.
Here cover of Wish You Were Here, like the entire, superb album, Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, takes the gritty, R&B route, as opposed to jazz.

I felt the opposite. Before DSOTM I felt Pink Floyd was just rambling with no direction. Then all of a sudden, everything came together, and DSOTM was born. I was in my third year of a four year term in the Navy when DSOTM was released.
Hmm. IMO WYWH and Animals returned to a style closer to earlier albums, then The Wall back towards DSOTM. I know which of those I still prefer... )
This is an experience that I don't think any of the super systems could even get close to recreating. Like a Pink Floyd show, it involves all of the senses, taste and touch being at the fore.
Not a Pink Floyd fan (take away my audiophile membership card), but if I'm gonna listen to a PF cover it's gonna be the Scissor Sisters..
LOL Your card has officially been revoked

I am really not sure how Pink Floyd every became associated with Audiophiles. My friends and I in junior high would spin Floyd albums
for hours and I remember I was 12 when the Wall came out..I had never even heard the term audiophile and would not for decades.
Same applied to Norah Jones and Shelby Lynne.
