My Pink Floyd Tapes

There I was at 12 and 13 and 14,  listening to the music of Pink Floyd on cassette tape.  Roger Waters’ first two solo albums too. But it was the Floyd stuff that meant the most to me. Had me copying out the lyrics on an old typewriter. Old school: pause/rewind/play and then  pause/rewind/play and […]

Appreciating The Final Cut: One of Floyd’s Best

Through the fish-eyed lens of tear-stained eyes… Do you know what? The Final Cut is my favourite album by Pink Floyd. I’m sure that’s traitor-speak amongst (most) fans. And it makes me a very easy target for Floyd-haters. Short of saying The Wall (actually, an album I can’t stand) this is the easiest record for […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1394

The Orb featuring David Gilmour, Metallic Spheres (2010) The 10th album by The Orb features David Gilmour of Pink Floyd – so he got a credit (heck, it features Youth of Killing Joke too, but he made the back-cover and inside cover only; not the spine and front cover). I liked this as soon as […]
