[QUOTE=Riva]Yeah, I just checked. Jugaband Blues is the only song credited to Syd on the album. Rick actually wrote See-Saw, and sings on it. He does sound remarkably like Syd, even on his solo stuff, now that I think of it.[/QUOTE]
I read that Syd actually had much more to do with SoS than he's credited for. At least that's what Malcolm Jones (the guy who produced around half of Syd's first solo-album) says in his summary of the recording of The Madcap Laughs...

I tried that a while ago, and...well...there were a few things that possibly [i]could[/i] have worked, but overall it seemed a bit vague. I guess you have to be high or something. And I-quite frankly-aren't that cool.[/QUOTE]

Really? I've done it a few times (not the least bit high) and I was amazed actually.

I finally went out and bought Obscurred By Clouds today, and oh my life is this album a dark horse or what!? It is not exactly discussed a lot, but it rocks! :thumb:

magicbus 07-17-2006 04:08 PM

Obscurred By Clouds is pretty awesome, not a bad song on there. My favorite is "Mudmen", but "Childhood's End" has the coolest solo.

I think this is this only Floyd album I bought before hearing.

I just love the lyrics and verse structure in Stay.

New Flesh 07-17-2006 08:34 PM

That reminds me that I still don't have that album. It's the only one I still need I believe.

Lol I had never heard Obscurred by Clouds too before buying it; but then again I have bought a few Floyd albums without hearing them before (Relics, PAGOD, SoS, Animals) simply because it's a Floyd album; and I know it wont let me down ... if you see what I mean ...

To Riva,

A bit of a Wright fanboy are we? He really does not get enough credit for his work in Pink Floyd, without him Wish You Were Here wouldn't be half the album it is today.

So true, I am a huge fan of his voice, I wish he had sung in more songs.

Whale and Wasp 07-18-2006 03:01 PM

i read somewhere he wrote san tropez; great song

though he doesnt sing in it obviusly....

Jim 07-19-2006 01:08 AM

Roger wrote San Tropez I believe. I also love Rick. [b]Us and Them[/b], [b]Great Gig in the Sky[/b], [b]Remember a Day[/b], [b]Wearing the Inside Out[/b]...

What a gun.

Collis 07-19-2006 03:41 AM

I just absolutely adore Us and Them, the sax solo is kinda orgasmic :thumb:. Probably my fave song on DSOTM actually, with Great Gig In The Sky closely following ... actually, when I was on a field trip in Swansea last week I saw a guy who looked remarkably similar to Rick Wright ...

FatalEnergy 07-19-2006 10:03 AM

I just heard High Hopes for the first time. That's a killer song.

Great song.

Prince of Darkness 07-19-2006 11:48 AM

So, what do you guys think of the PULSE dvd?

Remember A Day is like my favorite Floyd song.

Props to Rick :wave:

BurningSky 07-19-2006 07:50 PM

Why do all the members of Pink Floyd have such similar voices..?

I can never tell who is singing...

[QUOTE=BurningSky]Why do all the members of Pink Floyd have such similar voices..?

Waters and Gilmour have two very different voices, and Wright is like a mix between Waters and Gilmour... So Wrights voice always confuses me.

Hamilcar 07-19-2006 09:17 PM

Vinyl pickups of the day... Saucerful of Secrets, Animals, Atom Heart Mother...thank you random record shop in NYC!! They also had an original pressing mint condition Piper at the Gates of Dawn, but were selling it for $65 and I didn't have the money. Oh well

Riva 07-19-2006 10:56 PM

Listen to Corporal Clegg or Dogs to here the difference between Waters and Gilmour.

Wright sounds a bit like Barrett, but you can pick out the difference.

Hey You and Comfortably Numb would also be good choices. Their voices became more distinct the older they got.

Riva 07-21-2006 01:10 AM

That's true. Gilmour's kept his voice, but Roger has really lost his, if Live8 was anything to go by.

Dragon_Prince 07-21-2006 01:47 AM

@Riva, Gilmour lost it too ;) it's a shame, he hasn't lost it completely but some of it, heard a few mistakes on his singing in may ... But he was still great

BigTrav415 07-21-2006 02:53 PM

Gilmour has a larger vocal range than Waters, but almost always sung in a softer, almost swoony vox. Waters' voice has always had more of a "bite" to it, even when singing softly. It's harder and more solid than Gilmour's for the most part. Wright has a very deep, throaty voice in all truth, coupled with the British accent it's great. PF's at their best when Gilmour and Wright sing in harmony (i.e. Echoes), their voices meld perfectly.

I was at Target the other day recently after PULSE came out (I'm at camp, it was a quick run to-and-back), but they were OUT! :( And it was so cheap... :upset:

I got The Blues Brothers instead though :D Killer movie...

So True, I love it.

Riva 07-22-2006 05:32 PM

Very cool movie.

Has anyone heard Wright's solo work? I love it.

Prince of Darkness 07-22-2006 05:35 PM

haha, The Live8 gig is pretty good, but Waters' voice is gone. Too bad.

but he's an idiot. yet, a music mastermind.

The P.U.L.S.E. dvd is hella good. worth the buy.

Jim 07-23-2006 02:40 AM

I also put in a P*U*L*S*E DVD recommendation to anyone who hasn't got it yet. Some of the performances are sheer class. Plenty of Division Bell stuff too, which I like.
