Da Pink Floyd Amazing Archieve:
Floyd Revisits "The Wall":Pink Floyd are up to some millennial
tricksPink Floyd guitarist/vocalist David Gilmour wasn't exactly lying
when he told the BBC last November "I greatly doubt there will be a new
album out by the millennium." However, according to a source, Pink Floyd
are scheduled to release a record in December. Details are scant, but
another source says it will be a commemorative recording celebrating the
twenty-year anniversary of the The Wall, which was released on July 7,
1979. Insiders caution this should not be confused with the forthcoming
Sony/Columbia DVD of The Wall, which hits the streets Nov. 9. The record
was first hinted at in an EMI Recorded Music press release that states
the company had recently secured the worldwide rights to five more
classic Floyd albums including The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and
Animals, giving them a total of fourteen discs from the psychedelic
pioneers' extensive catalog. More importantly, the company noted that
Pink Floyd are actually in a London studio working on a record: "The
band is currently in the studio finalizing work on an anniversary album
project which is set for release at the end of 1999."EMI's U.S. office
confirmed that the band was indeed in the studio but would not say
whether or not the band was working on new material, or if bassist Roger
Waters was involved in the project. Sources there hinted that an
agreement had not been reached between Waters and the other members;
Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright have been at odds with the
bassist since his exit from the band in 1984. Three weeks ago, Waters
told USA Today that he and the band members were still "uncomfortably
estranged," and that he has absolutely no regrets about leaving the
band. "It was painful, like any divorce, but necessary," Waters said.
"We had grown in different directions." Those divergent directions don't
seem to allow for a reunion tour in the foreseeable future. Earlier this
year, Pink Floyd's management company, ENKA, put a resounding end to
rumors that the band was going to perform at a Y2K show in Egypt this
December. As it stands, the group will not be performing anywhere on New
Year Eve, echoing what Gilmour told the BBC: "I can categorically tell
you there is no plan for a record, no plan for a tour. And we're not
doing the 'Millennium Show.'"

 which is set for release at the end of 1999.
Allora: siccome "The Wall" è un progetto del quale ha il copyright Waters,
molto probabilmente i Floyd hanno avuto bisogno di lui per fare i missaggi
del materiale live che esce a fine anno. Nulla di strano. NON CREDETE CHE SI
RIMETTANO ASSIEME. Waters *non* vuole assolutamente.

Ellammadonna! Capisco quello che dici ma in Dark Side e The Wall non hai proprio
trovato niente di interessante?

trovato niente di interessante?
The Wall rappresenta la parabola finale del progetto Pink Floyd. Ci
sono brani musicalmente splendidi, perfetti.  Ancor di più in Dark
Side, sicuramente uno dei loro migliori lavori. Hai mai visto la
videocassetta di Pompei? Inizia con Echoes. Ancora ogni tanto mi
guardo quei dieci minuti così intensi di creatività, passione e
sperimentazione. Questo mi piaceva dei Pink Floyd, loro erano sempre,
come i Tangerine Dream, due passi avanti agli altri. Non giudico la
musica di un gruppo per questo motivo, ma IMHO dopo echeos nei Pink
non ho trovato più idee stimaolanti.
ciao, luca 

 non ho trovato più idee stimaolanti.
Ne hanno avute anche troppe prima da poter produrre dischi dignitosi e
sostanzialmente belli fino al 1983. Cosa che non è riuscita a nessun tedesco, e meno
che meno riuscirà a controfigure come gli odierni Aphex Twin.

 sperimentazione.
Echoes è uno dei miei brani preferiti ma non potrei mai rinunciare a
"The Great Gig In The Sky" :-)
