This was just uploaded to Roger's channel. I love these pre-1970 stuff.

**Drsalvador** · 15th June 2012

inside out is bloody brilliant. i'd love for the rest of the band to write their own versions.

Obscured by clouds is highly underrated

Oh, most definitely. It is still a great album, but The Division Bell strikes a chord with me for some reason.

**AK'z** · 17th June 2012

if they don't want to reunite... then that's so be it. It's not like it was recent since they last worked together happily.

getting towards 40 years, yeah?

**Rowtree** · 17th June 2012

Have you guys listened to "Embryo"? It's seriously one of the best pieces performed live pre-Meddle and post-Ummagumma. It actually formed part of the whalesong part of Echoes, and it also led on to the formation of Breathe, Raving and Drooling, and ACYL.

The last time "Embryo" was played was on 20 November 1971 at the conclusion of the band's North American tour. On this occasion, the middle jam-section was interrupted when Wright's Hammond suddenly failed, resulting in the remaining three members of the band continuing to jam for an extra fifteen minutes while waiting for the instrument to be repaired. This improvisation included elements of other Pink Floyd songs, most notably what appears to be an instrumental version of "Breathe" as well as the intro to "Raving and Drooling" (the 1974-75 precursor to "Sheep") and a rough "Any Colour You Like".

I have a version you can listen to here: http://www.1337upload.net/files/005_Track_5.mp3

That was great.

And I didn't even know it existed.

A serious thanks for the heads up here.

Lol, the article makes nooo mention of Rick Wright. Disgraceful.

Countdown to immersion DSOTM is a real treat, was an awesome variation on one of my favorite Floyd Albums.

TheIceman · 19th June 2012

Been a long time since I posted here, but I just bought Atom Heart Mother.

The suite is turning out to be one of my fucking favorites...

**AK'z** · 19th June 2012

Atom Heart Mother is one of those things that nobody takes seriously enough, I personally love it as a piece.

**Rowtree** · 20th June 2012

Agreed. Atom Heart Mother is amazing.

I can't wait for this July.

I know its just Roger, but I get to see the Wall at Philly.

Hopefully I get blazed in the process.

**Elecbullet** · 25th June 2012

Picked up The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking at a flea market. Pretty good. Mom liked it more than I.

The censor bar on the buttocks was the subject of many jokes the ride home from Montgomery.

**Hakita** · 25th June 2012

I can see that DrSalvador has made great progress in his WIP OP

**Rowtree** · 25th June 2012

So, what are your favourite songs?

All.

(Don't let Salvador hear that.)

I like pretty much every song, though some I listen to more than others. Interstellar Overdrive and Astronomy Domine probably take the top spots on that.

**Hakita** · 25th June 2012

Time, Comfortably Numb and Fat Old Sun

**AK'z** · 25th June 2012

Gilmour's first album is pretty swell imo.

I've never had the chance to listen to any solo albums, I should really make a note of picking them up when I head out today.

Worth it. Really worth getting their solo records.

In ways, I'd rather play Gilmour's last and Waters' solo records than anything post Animals.

I'll probably pick them up, I just gotta get new strings for my guitar. There's a Pink Floyd tribute band playing near me sometime, might go there.

I still haven't listened to The Final Cut....

VengfulSoldier · 26th June 2012

I'm a Wall fan.

But I know its not a true Pink Floyd album.

My favorite however has to be Wish You Were Here.

Think of it like a dud version of The Wall.

it's hardly a dud version, sure it has very similar themes, but it's very good if you don't listen to it as a Wall sequel

Rather than comparing Ponk Flid to Pink Floyd, let's look at what's out there yeah?

The Wall has been propped up as this massive, wonderful, extravagent masterpiece of a concept album. To me it's a pop record with bits of thematics.

Now, when I look at Genesis and The Who. Whom both are godfathers of concept albums, see none of the glory.

Lamb Lies down on Broadway, is infinitely my choice over The Wall. I'm sorry, but just like Duke, I get over pop records in a blink just because I've overheard it.

I'll still see the movie though because IT is amazing.

wait, do you honestly compare other concept records to The Wall? because i don't see how you can do that, frankly.

**Mr._N** · 27th June 2012

I don't see a problem. Those are fair comparisons.
