REVERB LP PINK FLOYD FINAL CUT HOW TO

This track called Corporal Clegg feels like a dark-twisted brother to The Beatles’ Sgt. On the other hand Pink Floyd appear to bring a bit more order to the chaos. The chaos is still omnipresent but I start to get used to it. However, I find this one tough, disturbing and unpleasant and I decided to immediately switch to the next one.ġ968’s follow-up A Saucerful Of Secrets obviously follows a similar pattern. It’s freed from any guideline and that’s something I better get used to quickly when it comes to Pink Floyd. Interstellar Overdrive is the 9-minute long heart and soul of this record (if such a thing exists) and boi, I find it utterly hard to get through it. H they also unleash wild monkey screams on a chaotic and wild foundation. The imitated weird animal noises on this one doesn’t help here either. The lyrics are cryptic LSD-nonsense, it appears. The album’s got an ‘anything goes’ spirit and that apparently also includes songs about gnomes and a track like Matilda Mother which can’t shake off certain medieval influences. Pink Floyd aren’t interested in conventional song structures, that much is for sure. It became quite a challenge but well – that’s why I called it’s called this way, right? I hear organs, strange vocal samples, krautrocking and spooky guitar solos and songs that feel like they’ve been directly recorded during a jam session.

The 1972 Live At Pompeii film was a tip from multiple sources, including my own father but that already happened a few years into their career so I decided to head for the old-fashioned way and to start with the 1967’s debut album The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (which was also recommended to me as a good initial record). People recommended me different ways of getting started on Pink Floyd.

Okay, so there are multiple ways on how to get started here. So, yes this might be more challenging than the Radiohead one but I’m more than happy to accept the challenge. But I’m fascinated by groups who had such a huge impact on popular culture. That point might not be easy in quarantine so I have to stick with coffee for now. They also did spectacular live shows back then and I know drugs are almost mandatory to enjoy their music. So, I know there are a few key records – mostly Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall – and I know Roger Waters and David Gilmour are the driving forces of the band but also fell apart years ago which ultimately lead to a decline in the band’s qualities and their split. But that isn’t really considered their coolest work, I think. I also listened to the band’s final album – 2014’s The Endless River – as I was covering it for NBHAP’s news section back then. Of course I know a few of their bigger hits – Comfortably Numb (famously introduced via Scissor Sisters back in 2004), Wish You Were Here (famously introduced to me by an almost forgotten Wyclef Jean cover from the early 2000s) and Another Brick In The Wall (famously introduced to me by every freakin’ radio station of my childhood. I remember I actually listened to the album before and I enjoyed it although it was more playing in the background back then. You can’t work in pop culture without stumbling upon Dark Side Of The Moon at least once. Alright, how do you start with one of the most iconic and influential groups of all time? Of course, I know Pink Floyd – the name – and some of their iconic imagery.
