 ... The Sun". Their 1969 album, "More" was a soundtrack to a French film of the same name, and is one of their weaker efforts, the songs uncomfortably juxtaposed with a number of noodling mood pieces that never quite fire the imagination in the way that the celestial wonders of "Saucerful of Secrets" did. 1969 also saw the release of another album, "Ummagumma" which was a combined live set and studio album featuring some experimental songs by each of the band's four members.

Well, this could take some time. Of all my favourite bands, the Floyd are the one who've been around the longest, and have been in my music collection the longest, and their back-catalogue is extensive to say the least. Unlike most of the bands I've been reviewing lately, I doubt that this one needs much of an introduction or an in-depth description of their music style. For one thing, their musical style varies wildly from album to album, incorporating elements of funk, blues, jazz and gospel into their trademark prog-rock soundscapes. The only way to review Pink Floyd properly is to do so chronologically, highlighting each studio album, personnel ...

Pink Floyd. Rock dinosaurs. Revered by drugged out hippies everywhere. Outwardly boring men who believed they could address the world's problems through the medium of very long guitar solos. The supreme example of prog rock self-indulgence. They'll probably all be knighted at some point. In spite of these entirely justified criticisms, there are a few Pink Floyd albums that are perennial favourites of mine. The band emerged in London in the mid-sixties. Led by charismatic guitarist/singer/songwriter Syd Barrett, with Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on keyboards, and the profoundly ugly Roger Waters on bass. They started out playing ...

Premium Review Pink Floyd in general: A Floydian Masterpiece - The Wall (film) (498 words)

Symbolic and surreal, ‘The Wall’ defies categorisation of genre: animated film; musical; contemporary art? I first watched ‘The Wall’ (directed by Alan Parker) when I was 15. Even then I could see the powerful messages which were being portrayed through the use of imagery, cinematography and the music and lyrics of Pink Floyd. However, to fully appreciate the depth of ‘The Wall’, the film becomes even more enjoyable when watched more than once. So over the years I have revisited the life of Pink (Bob Geldof), a musical performer who in a drug induced state revisits his past and looks at a future where he is a powerful ...
