echoes forgot how much i loved that one

the guitar riff “breakdown” that comes at around 3:45 is one of my fav musical piece ever

wow just got to that when i saw your post

I don’t think I have anything on that ill look into it tho

imagining syd sitting down at home after making a painting and be like “aight let’s check out that new album a momentary lapse of reason my g” is an hilarious thot to me

guess i heard your echo

ok this eminem bar

makes ya think huh

Me all over this thread when i’ve heard less than a dozen Floyd songs

here’s a cool story for you, did you know that originally instead of going with what became wish you were here, pink floyd ‘s plans to followup dark side of the moon -of all things- was gonna be an album only made with household objects? here’s a short video that sums it up pretty good and to the point:

here’s the only surviving track from it, the hard way, which is what plays through out the video above anyway:

doesn’t this sounds absolutely amazing? i love it, it starts very bluesy ish “bass” then those effects on that chorus takes it to something very dreamy and back to a more psychedelic sound for them, i love this track

it’s truly a shame they couldn’t make out more out of this concept and didnt make a full album because this track alone, well, why didn’t they finish it and add vocals? they still could’ve had anytime, idk why they abandoned

but also the reality is that this track, knowing how exhausting and difficult the nature of the concept and theme is to pull off or put together in the first place, is probably the best thing that came off of those sessions

still makes u wonder tho... what a true creative and avant gradiste idea, in hindsight it kinda gives you a new perspective of wish you were here... the absence theme, was this absence inspired by a frustration, lack of muse? im not downplaying wish you were here, it’s a beloved album and it grows on me by the day, but just, interesting the contrast of this household objects project that seems to be a big band effort to jump onto this very roger centered album and mostly slow acoustic songs, very opposite.. as if that’s the specific point where the band ceased or started to be less a band, again not to be negative but just understanding the artistic progression, if that makes sense

imo they should have kept on going but compromising it maybe WITH some instruments somewhere sometimes?

kinda like how they kept the wine glass track from it to insert as the intro for shine on you crazy diamond

@BlackStar @RVI @Kaiser

lol i remember reading about this i really think they could have pulled it off. hadnt heard that track before though

nick mason would have totally snapped on it

@Ithaka
and again i dont really see WYWH especially as that roger centered as you do :dno: the leader of the band, but absolutely an important group effort. like how Piper isnt just the Syd show. incorporating some of the household objects ideas into it sounds cool but i think its already a staggering masterpiece as it is and wouldnt have been improved upon. ideally they would have done some other album with the objects and probably some instruments, maybe sort of a "side" project (in the eyes of the commercial market like obscured by clouds)

imagine what the reception would have been like if they released the objects album would be seen as a legendary creative turn after dark side, a crazy step to make

also im curious what do you think of the WYWH title track?

bright lit blue skiesss

isn’t that track dope asl? it’s funny bc how extreme they wanted to go: roger said they should ALL abandon their instruments, but why not some nick beats? it’s still percussions, but then that wouldn’t respect the concept and title of “household objects”

not sure why they never did something out of that song tho it’s great stuff

mmm it’s just idk, like listen to animals and the wall, then go back to wish you were here, you definitely see how the seeds are the songs are already very roger ... but it’s still colored by the band don’t get me wrong, what would the album even BE without rick’s synths all over it but wywh starts that era, but your comparison with syd however is great and does bring a new pov on it, so that’s a great point

hard way could’ve find a spot on the album imo? it’s not like there’s not already a gigantic song taking half of it already, a lil spot for this song that would pick up the best like have a cigar does would balance nicely i think

but YES that’s why im drowned back to it bc coming after dark side that’s such a bold pf move to do that! that’s almost what excites me the most! dark side the most “classic rock” beloved album then boom household objects! how COOL and actually genuinely avant gardiste!

wywh title track, like i said to me it’s the new “anyway here’s wonderwall” yet feels so good to play that iconic lead acoustic riff... idk it is an easy listening song and one that does really push the band in the classic dad rock genre, but then you still have cool little things like the little guitar noodlin at the end with david singing along to it, those type of things that brings character and reminds you it’s pink floyd

i still like it especially in the context of the album it’s that fresh air of breeze you need for the experience tbh, and you queen?

ive been listening to The Man and The Journey suite they played live before much of the material made it to albums. some weird sounds on there you can definitely tell they would have pulled off the objects album. i just wish there was video of the tour though so i could see them making the sounds, and apparently they made and sawed a table on stage lmao

actually seems like a pretty important step in their development their first endeavor into the sort of 'conceptual'/suite style that would become the signature. and of course direct precursor to the weird s*** on ummagumma lol

idk if there's any other decently recorded version of it, but the one on the Early Years box set is awesome

id kill to see them live during any of those years 1967-1970. i love the pompeii album of course but i think i like that era live stuff a bit more

knowing all that relistening to money brings a new light, that intro is prolly from all these efforts they put years into! making a new album of that would have been groundbreaking and genuis tbh when u out that sound together with the hard way track and shine on wine glass intro

maybe im overreacting because we probably are hearing the best of all that mess and those all are extremely short pieces so that’s kinda telling, they did work on it for years after all so it is telling indeed, but surely other ppl pulled it off.. again a compromise would’ve been the best, and definitely a followup to ummagumma but, a better one! i think..?

btw one time i stayed ummagumma wasn’t ahead of its time bc john lennon had already done years prior his s***ty bed albums and so u know if lennon is on it it’s kinda late but however i am totally dead wrong: they came out the same year! so props to pf

but man those live s*** sounds insane, i agree experiencing this would have been insane! shame there’s not a full release covering that indeed

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Carrera_Panamericana

even tho pf just released a “later years” big boxset that covers all that era this remains UNRELEASED STILL

why?

and since this is unreleased but bootlegged, does it go under the lost albums blanket??

🤔🤔

the bootleg

wish you were here is the best song

my mom told me to listen to the wall and i don’t remember if i liked it i think i need to relisten

ah man, the wall wouldn’t be my go to pf album recommendation that’s for sure

why not the album wish you were here itself? 🤗

i think she has some fond nostalgia with the wall that’s why

i’ll listen to it all eventually

yeh feel like lots of moms have that, ive noticed

one thing ill say bout another brick in the wall is the transition from the part 1 with that whole intro with the first section onto the little breakdown with the harmonies then suddenly cut to part 2 with that scream and jump to that disco beat “we don’t need no education “ (over minor chord on the rhythmic guitar and a lead guitar following the vocals) upbeat yet menacing is some amazing songcrafting there in a very short sequence
