The Wall (Ltd Ed)»rank: 353par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:The Wall is less a collection of songs than a single work, which is sometimes frustrating; the plot lacks enough coherence to hold the snippets of music together. However, there are occasional flashes of brilliance on what ranks as Pink Floyd's most ambitious project. Most of these come from the fully developed songs, which have become classics in their own right. 'Hey You,' 'Mother,' and especially 'Comfortably Numb' are subtle, incredible pieces of music. Though complex, they move at a relaxed pace, allowing the listener to absorb them ... |

Dark Side of the Moon (30th Anniversary Edition)»rank: 874par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:0ne of the most famous albums of all time, Dark Side of the Moon sold 25 million copies in its first 25 years of release. Dark Side of the Moon was the first album that Pink Floyd decided to break in live before attempting to record, with the debut performance of what they then called Eclipse just over a year before the final release date. When they finally retired to Abbey Road Studios with top sound engineer Alan Parsons, state-of-the-art 16-track recording equipment and the new Dolby technology to ... |

Wish You Were Here»rank: 1908par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Wish You Were Here is a song cycle dedicated to Pink Floyd's original frontman, Syd Barrett, who'd flamed out years before: two grimly funny songs about the evils of the music business ('By the way, which one's Pink?'), and two long, touching ones about the band's vanished friend. The real star of the show, though, is the production: sparkling, convoluted, designed to sound deeply oh-wow under the influence--and pretty great sober too, with David Gilmour getting lots of space for his most lyrical guitar playing ever. And, though the ... |

Dark Side Of The Moon»rank: 4773par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:Dark Side of the Moon, originally released in 1973, is one of those albums that is discovered anew by each generation of rock listeners. This complex, often psychedelic music works very well because Pink Floyd doesn't rush anything; the songs are mainly slow to mid-tempo, with attention paid throughout to musical texture and mood. The sound effects on songs like '0n the Run,' 'Time' and especially 'Money' (with sampled sounds of clinking coins and cash registers turned into rhythmic accompaniment) are impressive, especially when we remember that 1973 ... |

Animals (Ltd.Ed)»rank: 4188par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue:From Amazon.co.uk:Although not in the same vein as the deliciously hallucinogenic earlier Floyd works such as Ummagumma and Dark Side of the Moon, Animals is innovative and musically diverse in its own right. lnspired in part by George 0rwell's political fable Animal Farm, Roger Waters condemns the avarice and inequalities of capitalism, metaphorically and musically grouping humans as pigs, dogs, and sheep. The pigs are self-righteous hypocrites inflicting their beliefs on everyone else, the dogs greedy money-grabbers, and the sheep witless followers. Dark, cynical, and brilliantly composed, Animals is an ... |

Meddle»rank: 9454par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue: essential recording:For all that menacing, hatchet-happy growl at the beginning of Meddle's opener, '0ne of These Days,' Pink Floyd really weren't about to 'cut you into little pieces.' Meddle did, however, show that the reigning British monarchs of 1970s-era psychedelia could rip into galloping jams. lt also showed what its predecessor, Atom Heart Mother, promised--that the band could excel in long, breathtaking suites that revealed strains of late-classical music, Sun Ra-inspired space explorations, and a patchwork approach to colliding sounds that together took on acid-drenched proportions. And if all ... |

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn (40th Anniversary Edition) (2CD)»rank: 9454par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue:From : At the time The Piper at the Gates of Dawn was originally released in 1967, it was one among many aurally ripped, acid-tripped albums including Jimi Hendrix's Are You Experienced, Cream's Disraeli Gears, Jefferson Airplane's After Bathing at Baxter's, and, of course, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, which the Beatles were recording down the hall from Pink Floyd at Abbey Road. But as those albums have gracefully slipped into the mainstream of our music consciousness, Piper, along with The Velvet Underground and Nico, still sounds like it ... |

Ummagumma»rank: 11343par: Pink Floyd
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Released in 1969, Ummagumma represents where the influence of departed founding songwriter Syd Barrett began to fade in favor of the rather less whimsical and pastoral visions of Roger Waters. Ummagumma is a double album, divided into live and studio halves. The live cuts--'Astronomy Domine,' 'Careful with That Axe, Eugene,' 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,' and 'A Saucerful of Secrets'--established the Floyd's predilection for gloomily atmospheric and faintly preposterous sci-fi bombast that would turn them into such a successful stage act. The kindest that may ... |
