I dunno, Opeth did a pretty good job with the 5.1 mix of Still Life
What I was saying was the quadrophonic technology probably wasn't used to its full effect in the 70s and therefore never caught on.
Listened to The Wall start to finish today
God damn that album is awesome
Agreed.
The opening chords on In The Flesh? are just amazing.
There isn't a part of that album I don't like it's just so freaking amazing I could just hug it and love it forever

I kid, Animals is really good too
Listened to Obscured by Clouds for the first time today.
I really think it's artistically superior to The Wall to be honest, I'm not a hater... it's just how I feel. But it is only my first listen so I will have to spend time reading further into it. In ways I thought The Wall was a bit of a rip off of Obscured by Clouds, but again.. I may be jumping ahead of the gun a bit.
I don't want to say underrated as I don't give a crap what others think :smug:
It is my reaction to it, and I think it is more than it seems. No need to break through clouds.

Go see it for real :v:
So remember Roy Harper? He sung on Have A Cigar.
Well, a friend of mine has a few records of his that he gave me, and they're pretty good.

[i]Flat Baroque And Beserk[/i] (1970) is very folky, using mainly acoustic guitars.
[img]http://www.progarchives.com/progressive_rock_discography_covers/3679/cover_2913203112009.jpg[/img]
[i]The Unknown Soldier[/i] (1980) is more poppy, although it's notable because half the tracks are co-written by David Gilmour. In fact, one of the tracks is [i]on[/i] Gilmour's first solo album.

[i]In Between Every Line[/i] (1988) is a live double album, with one side featuring the 20-minute acoustic "One Of These Days In England".
So yeah they're all pretty good.
He made one worthwhile album

Not the full song, but this was an insane concert. David Gilmour at the pinnacle of guitar playing here, he doesn't need to move up the neck overly fast to hide bad playing (*cough* dragonforce *cough*) nor does his songs have to be as technically difficult as possible.
He puts soul into his playing, and really brings it out in this solo. Petrucci plays it well too but 'jazzes' it up too much with thrown-in bends and the such. This is a solo that represents a pinnacle of guitar solos, it is the greatest thing I have ever heard come out of a guitar.
Oh, and the lighting with the crystal ball is just insane. It's beautiful.

Full version if you want to listen. The solo is definitely the best part though, it's just... amazing.

Dude, the amazing part is that this solo was edited. It's supposed to be even longer.
Here is the unedited version that is one and a half minutes longer:

And an even better version with a better solo from the 1994 tour:

Listening to that 1994 tour version, I don't really like it as much. It feels more rushed. I like the very slow exaggerated feel of the /pulse/ version, it just feels so smooth. It just... flows so well for a live concert. The 1994 version sounds more staccato (blunt, short/loud)

Well, they're both from the 1994 Division Bell Tour lol.
The reason why I really like the version from the Oslo venue is because it's outside of Gilmour's normal playing. He's an excellent, expressive player all around anyways, but in that version Gilmour was at the top of his game. And I've heard a lot of Gilmour solos. This one's different.
Love it.
Bump, let's keep this alive.
Got a late birthday present of an Amazon voucher so I decided to get Roger Water's other 2 solo albums, as well as my own copy of Pros and Cons (as the one I've been listening to is a friend's, I should really give it back sometime :v:)
Never listened to any Pink Floyd
Going to get really, really high and listen to Dark Side Of The Moon by myself on my lawn under the stars next week.
It should be an experience
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27809868]Never listened to any Pink Floyd

Try the "Wish You Were Here" album.
I'd kind of like to start with Dark Side Of The Moon
I'll listen to that sober however

I wouldn't have, but go ahead :smug:
Why not?
[editline]2nd February 2011[/editline]
Maybe I'll listen to Sgt pepper's too
not pink floyd (HUR FUCKING DUR) but I'll make a night out of it
[i]The[/i] introductory Pink Floyd album is Dark Side Of The Moon, but you can't really get an accurate representation of their sound from one album.
Dark Side of The Moon is a completely different ball part of Pink Floyd, to be honest.
I would start with Wish You Were Here or Animals.
Then Wall and start the more artistic albums like Meddle and Dark Side.

I agree with starting on Animals, but I disagree with the part that TDSOTM differs from other Floyd work.
Really the only song on TDSOTM that's any different from their other work is "Money" in my opinion, otherwise it's a pretty downright Floyd album.
But that's just my opinion :smile:

On The Run is like nothing Pink Floyd have ever done.
The Great Gig in the Sky is nothing like what they have ever done.
The album's entire vibe.. except from Money, is very much unique in the way it delivers.
There is a lot more you can do with Dark Side of the Moon in terms of reading it, it isn't like The Wall or Animals.
This isn't about guitar playing or rhythms, I've just become more accustomed to their later and earlier stuff. This is bang in the centre of their career. :psyduck:

I wasn't really thinking..thank you for correcting me there.

This is all my interpretation. :smug:
The first album I got properly was Animals.
You could argue that everything they did was nothing like any of their other work; it's pointless trying to compare them. It's like saying Low by David Bowie was like nothing else he ever did, but that's because everything he did was completely different and unique.
