Pink Floyd The Later Years - Specul/ation (Pre-release)

Hopefully this means we'll finally get to hear Rick's keyboard solo on "On the Turning Away"

 

No Bowie Box?

 

ahhh I see I missed the changeover .... sorry ... i still want those, I don't need them in a box, one case each will do lol

 

I'm in the very small minority that can't stand 'On The Turning Away'! Really like the rest of the album though (even 'A New Machine') and can tolerate 'Dogs of War'...

 

Unless Live8 is being included in some form...

 

My family has a cat named Toby. It's a good cat name.

 

I'm not sure why the dislike of Momentary Lapse really, I liked it.

For the experts .... I heard when the album came out that they had put forward something prior that had been rejected, because it didn't sound Floydy enough... Is there any truth in that, or what it just tongues wagging?

 

It is not very likely since AMLOR sounds quite a lot like About Face. I don't expect that Gilmour made something completely different between those albums.

 

Bring on the Publius Enigma content!

 

Ok, I just remember when it was released that something was said about there being another version ... not sure if it was remixed or what? but supposedly the first copy put to the record company got that reply, but it is a lot of years ago

 

I thought the same thing I guess it depends on the amount of discs but I would prefer a large box so a book could be included,don't care at all for the individual pamphlets in TEY.Also any chance you will finally get a shout out in the credits for this one Ron?

 

Im totaly with you. But i add i cant stand also learning to fly.

 

Less than zero since I didn't contribute anything to this one. I'm pretty sure they have everything they need.

 

I've read in the comments of this article that during the art exhibition in Wilhelmshaven some guy asked Powell further infos about the Gilmour/Floyd set: possibly the full Nassau '88 concert will be part of it.
Also, the new Animals artwork might look like this: the Battersea Power Station (plus pig) surrounded with construction cranes by night.

I'm seriously pumped for this set. I want it NOW. I know there's the '87 rehearsal footage on YT, and the saxist from the tour Scott Page has his own archival stuff from the period that could be put in with the set too. I'm just thrilled with getting the concert films, and possibly a remix of AMLOR.

 

If that's big (and expensive) again like the earlier set I hope this also comes out with individual volumes.

 

I am an engineer at the Battersea Power Station redevelopment (if you see the 4 towers behind it, they're "mine"!) and haven't seen any pig flying! Digital Reconstruction maybe?

 

In the article's comment just the power station and cranes by night was mentioned, but without the pig it's only half of the Animals artwork, so I'm sure this will be added on the cover in some way.

 

Maybe a lenticular cover or something? Tilted one way shows the original art, and the other way shows current state. Or just have a pig appear when positioned in a particular way. Gah, who knows. Whatever they have planned will probably be better than my idea, lol

 

I do. Yes, I want the other stuff, but if this is done right, I'll love this and look forward to it. I would really love to have the complete non-voice over tracks from La Carrera Panamericana. And for that matter any unreleased jams and studio stuff.

 

Given how just how unspeakably dire "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" and "DSOT" are, maybe good names for this set include:

Constip/ation
Counterfeitis/ation
Mulletis/ation
Discontinuis/ation
Commodific/ation
Depersonalis/ation
Disintegr/ation
Automis/ation
Lobotomis/ation
Recolonis/ation
Frustr/ation
Affect/ation
Deleg/ation

Or, best of all...

Abber/ation.

Personally, however, I think I would go with: "Utter crapfest that's aged very badly and now just seems like a stain on an otherwise unimpeachable legacy"

 

Desertific/ation
Exasper/ation
Nullific/ation
Polariz/ation
Abomin/ation
Traumatiz/ation

 

I think a stark black and white photo of just the under construction plant lighted at night on an LP sized box would look great.

 

Maybe they can finally release a final album that's worthy of their legacy. Endless River and Louder Than Words felt like they should have been the extras in a box set.

 

Why are you saying Louder Than Words as if it were an album title, when it's a track on the Endless River album ?
