I tried The Final Cut around thirty-something years ago and I didn't like it then. But after reading some of the more recent posts here there's a lot of you saying that's it's good or better. So today I gave it a go thinking it might have aged like a fine wine. I tried but I couldn't even finish it. I really don't like it. So I listened to Obscured By Clouds instead. Again for the first time in decades but this one I liked. I'll listen to it a few more times I think. After this I'll have to give Atom Heart Mother a turn. I'm not hopeful though as I didn't like it all that much when I was in my teens. I'm in a Pink Floyd mood lately.

It's dreadful, along with everything they did after The Wall.

My partner bought me an original 12" of Wish You Were Here about five years back and it's not been played until last week when we had a record night with friends in ours (basically numerous bottles of wine and listening to various vinyl). Unbelievable. One of the most incredible albums ever recorded.

The albums I find myself going back to more often than not are Animals, The Wall, Dark Side Of The Moon and Meddle.


Not Wish You Were Here?

FWIW, I have a Spotify playlist that's got just both parts of Shine On on one almost continuous play. I prefer it that way. The changing of the tone of the prolonged synth note as Gilmour's guitar plays in the early part of the track gets me every time.

Oh yeah I forgot about that! Don't know how I missed that one. I was only just singing Have A Cigar in my head the other day.

Is anybody going to buy the Dark Side of the Moon Redux remake that Waters has recorded? It comes out on October the 6th.

I saw a quote from Nick Mason, who said "Annoyingly, it's absolutely brilliant!"

I'll give it a listen on Spotify and, if I like it, may buy it.

I watched Waters at the MEN in 2007. I was stoned as fuck, the MEN stunk of weed (there was a thick haze in the air, and was just before the smoking ban kicked in) and it was one of the best musical or stoned experiences I've ever had. He did some classic non-Darkside, had a brief break, then did Darkside start to finish. I had a proper whitey just as the Darkside bit started after having a smoke and was just regathering my brain when Time started, followed by Great Gig. Felt utterly euphoric.

Waters was contracted for 1 final album for Floyd.

He offered the band their choice of Radio KAOS or The Wall.

KAOS was a kool album.

Thank you very much Uncle Terry.
