Pink Floyd Thread

So Animals is good is it? So I should not be taken aback by the absurd titles?

Animals is brilliant. Have you ever read Animal Farm by George Orwell? Similar sort of idea in Animals. These songs aren't about farm animals at all... You have mail, by the way.

Have you seen this, LMP? Sheep synched up with Saving Private Ryan. It's awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djFnSo5uhFo

 

[phanan]

Animals is indeed excellent, although I don't rate it higher than WYWH or DSOTM.

4. The Wall
5. Meddle
6. The Final Cut

8. Obscured By Clouds
9. The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
10. A Saucerful Of Secrets

That Saving Private Ryan / Sheep video was amazing.

Have you heard Echoes synched up with 2001: A Space Odyssey?

And because I'm bored, I'll rank the solo albums too.

1. Roger Waters - Amused To Death
2. Roger Waters - The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking

If we were talking about any projects that the various members have been involved in I'd put those two Waters solo albums at the top followed by this unknown classic:

3. Ca Ira



The Overture is so beautiful especially at the 50 second mark. Aw, Opera...the only thing less appreciated than prog on Interference.

This is all very interesting. Isn't there also some reported synchronicity between DSOTM and The Wizard of Oz?

I'm torrenting it right now, along with The Wall and Alice in Wonderland:

Ça Ira is lovely. I would have put it up there myself, but most people wouldn't really consider it a Roger Waters solo album as such. The Overture is brilliant - capable of shutting up all the people who think the only thing Roger's capable of is writing good lyrics. And In The Bushes Where They Survive sends shivers up my spine at the end...when there's the long, droning brass/strings in the background with the marching drums and flute on top. To The Windward Isles is just about the most fun you'll ever have when you're listening to an opera. "Equality, fraternity, and liberty are not just words after all!"

One of Roger's crowning achievements.

 

[LMP]

I might buy Ca Ira, Leaving Beirut, and Hello (I Love You) off iTunes tonight.

I'm in a big Roger mood right now.

Keep in mind that Ça Ira is an opera...in the full classical sense. So if you don't like classical music, you probably won't like it. Hello (I Love You) is a nice song, although a bit of a throwaway like most soundtrack songs are.

I love it that you're in a Roger mood right now, though. Look at my top artists for this week... http://www.last.fm/user/dysprosium/

 

[LMP]

I guess I'll torrent them then, 16 bucks for any album is pretty steep for me.

Roger is definitely pwning everyone else in your Last.Fm.

It's really like Screech wailing on Horshack, just a mismatch in every sense.

Oh, and is the In The Flesh live double album on the US iTunes? If so, you should buy Each Small Candle from that one. Great song. I wish Roger would have played it on his current tour.

Yes, it is. I'm glad it's the full album now, it used to only be partial.

Roger is so much more than a rock artist. You could tell in stuff like Great Gig and The Trial that he had opera in him. Roger is one of the greatest musical minds of the 20th Century. I think people will recognize that in 40 or 50 years. Amused To Death, Dark Side or The Wall might be considered his masterpeices but Ca Ira deserves mention. Hear Ye, The Fugitive King, But The Maquis and To Freeze In The Dead Of Night are my other favorites off that masterpeice. I'm really not sure what I'd prefer: a new Roger Waters solo album or opera.

 

[GibsonGirl]

Yes, it is. I'm glad it's the full album now, it used to only be partial.

It's one of my favourite live albums. The DVD itself is

Oh, I didn't see your earlier question...yes, I've seen the Echoes synch up! It's great. Fits it perfectly.

 

[BoMac]

Here's my favourite Wizard of Oz-Dark Side synch job.

Definitely. The man is a genius. It certainly took him long enough to do his opera, but I'm glad he stuck with it and finished it. Great personal accomplishment for him as a musician. I'm glad it has been so well-received since its release, even if one a smaller scale than if, say, he released a rock album. Number one on the Sony classical charts, marvellous stage productions that have received a great deal of praise... I'd love to see him do more on the classical/opera front as well. Could you imagine a symphony composed by him? Love this interview, by the way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2C2GOizswU

This is interesting interview with Roger about Ca Ira and Floyd. It starts at 33:50.

Few people really deserve the genius title but Roger is one of them. Classical and opera seem to flow right out of him, at least from a listener's point of view. I often find myself as interested in hearing him speak as much as listening to his music. His ideas are always so expanse and unique. Most people would crucify a rock star writing an opera but it says something about Ca Ira when even critics praise its brilliance. It is a stunning production that deserves every line of praise it gets.

Sheep synched up with Saving Private Ryan. It's awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djFnSo5uhFo

Holy crap! I really love these synched up things. It's always awesome to see things visualized, even if they don't make sense lyrically.

This is all very interesting. Isn't there also some reported synchronicity between DSOTM and The Wizard of Oz?

I watched the whole thing on YouTube one day.

It's not nearly as fun unless you spot most the coincidences yourself.

OMG, Summer '68 is too awesome for words.

I saw someone with a signature on another board that read "Marmalade, I love marmalade", and I just had to give Atom Heart Mother another listen. It's soooooooo much better than any album they recorded before it (yes, I'm including the horribly overrated PATGOD in that as well ).

Everything on Meddle is good (yes, I do happen to like Seamus well enough). That's a sad excuse for an insult.

How about Sysyphus Part IV > me?

And people called me crazy for using that in the Desert Island Album Game II.

And people look at me like I have three heads when I say that is my favourite Pink Floyd song.
