Pink Floyd news :: Brain Damage - David Gilmour and Polly Samson - Borris House Festival of Writing

God, I wish I went now, sounds amazing

I see a load of tour dates listed on the right there. Whats a Gilmour setlist like these days I wonder?

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

A lot of his solo stuff and a fair bit of old floyd stuff, I'd imagine. He played a nice versions of Wots Uh The Deal and Fat Old Sun on his last tour. I'd go see him here if the tickets were no more than €20.

I might stretch to 25 euro

I read today he has a new album coming out. Shudder.

this was cool as fuck

They went to all that trouble to make a film in Pompeii and they "dress" like that, though.

Nick Mason wore a vest

It wouldn't have killed them to dress up as Romans or in some stylish contemporary Italian style.

I liked two songs on his last album, the rest was shite

Expansive Form in Pink Floyd’s “Dogs”*
Gilad Cohen

KEYWORDS: Pink Floyd, progressive rock, form, guitar solo

ABSTRACT: In their seventeen-minute track “Dogs” from the 1977 LP Animals, Pink Floyd used a small amount of material, appropriate to a standard-length song, and expanded each of its sections enormously by employing heavy repetition and an exceptionally slow harmonic pace. Yet how can a rock song that is based on so little material retain vitality over the course of such a prolonged duration? This paper analyzes and assesses the ways in which “Dogs” succeeds in maintaining a sense of variety, direction, and cohesiveness throughout its extended length. Through an inspired scheme of structurally foundational guitar solos, a motivic use of melodic and harmonic tension, and a meticulously woven fabric of text, harmony, texture, sound, and instrumentation, the song maintains a propulsive forward drive in spite of its thematic economy.

MTO 21.2: Cohen, Expansive Form in “Dogsâ€

I haven't listened to it but I do like Rattle That Lock (apart from the guitar soloing). Have you got to that one yet?

yes, I was possily being a bit harsh on it. Its more 'meh' than terrible.

I got about 3/4 the way through. I'll try it again.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

You should know what to expect by now.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I did listen to a recording of his gig in Brighton the other week, the new songs weren't terrible, just a bit forgettable. I only listened because I wanted to hear how Sorrow sounded (as meh as ever). His voice is still really strong and the band are really good, they just need some decent tunes.

well I was expecting it to be terrible, which is why I was possibly overly-harsh on it.

I've never heard a solo Gilmour song that I thought was anything more than just ok.

 

[rettucs]

(apart from the guitar soloing).

definitely better on second listen. Those guitar solos will never not be terrible.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Are you listening to the whole album again or just Rattle That Lock? I'm actually really excited about the forthcoming Roger Waters album.

the whole album.

+1 on Waters (have always loved his stuff though, even the terrible stuff). And, I really want to see that new film. It looks like it might actually be decent.
