Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother

Advantages: brilliantly creative
Disadvantages: short track listing

...only in the capabilities of Pink Floyd: Atom Heart Mother provides a stunning colabiration between soft rock and the honest style of classical and progressive music. Despite being blaitantly contrasting to earlier efforts from Pink Floyd (i.e. Relics, the acid induced trip through seemingly random, but clearly well structured music in the form of a debut album), this change in "genre" has allowed Pink Floyd to develop their style to an extent whereby ...
...probes deeply into the image Pink Floyd create for themselves. The cow standing in a very stereotypical field gives no insight as to what the actual content of the album may be, and consequently acts almost as a metaphor for the ideal of not wanting to be pinned to any specific approach to music. This is something Pink Floyd can pride themselves with on all of their records. A slight drawback is the elasticity between the short amount of tracks, ...

Review of Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother - Ultimate Critical Review (DVD)

The Great Gig in the Sky....now on DVD...

Advantages: Full Concert Performance of Dark Side of the Moon....
Disadvantages: Took almost 12 Years to be released....

...of the founder members of Pink Floyd, and the inspiration that put the Band on the map in the first place, all those Years ago,and possibly without his influence, The Pink Floyd and this DVD would never have seen the light of Day, neither would the rest of the repertoire of Pink Floyd either.... Anyway....on to this " Special Edition " 2 Disc version of Pulse.. This is no newcomer to the music scene at all, as it was originally released way back ...
...not a big fan of Pink Floyd.... Disc Two..... Once again you get the Audio set up menu with the option of the best sound , and on this Disc it should certainly be taken... Its a full audio / visual performance of the classic " Dark Side of the Moon " which is probably one of the most famous albums of all time, so you are shown exactly what this is like live in Concert, complete with all the special effects that come with it, and I do believe this ...

Live 8 - Changing the World

Advantages: A day of History on DVD. Loads of really good artists live.
Disadvantages: No commentary and some of the extra's are a bit weak.

...names in music today performing live for your viewing pleasure. Its a bit like a compilation CD, but only you can see the artists performing live and the atmosphere from the crowds watching is electric and pulses through you as you watch. Its hard to explain in words how this show makes you feel. If you were there then you can reminisce of memories of the show you reember and the feeling you had when you were there. If (like me) you weren't there ...
...you can watch it all live now and still say that you were part of something big and helping the world. Back to the DVD. Its crammed full of performances on each disk. All in great quality (audio and visual) and are produced and captured very well. You turn off the lights, pull the curtains across, whack on the surround sound and you will feel like you are there in the crowd. The atmosphere is captured very well. The extras on the dvd are imho a ...

Review of Live 8 (Various Artists) (Digipack And Booklet) (DVD)

Breath-taking gig that all music fans should see

Advantages: Fantastic gig, vintage Floyd, rare footage, interesting take on a classic film
Disadvantages: 5:1 surround sound would have been nice, no real band involvement

...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I discovered Pink Floyd back in 1994 when The Division Bell album came out. I had heard their music before then, as my parents are both fans, but I really got into them in 1994 and keenly started building up my Floyd collection. One day, in HMV, I saw Live at Pompeii on video. It was in the most horrid pink case and cost ...
...of Pompeii? This wasn't the Pink Floyd I knew! I hoped I'd like it. I liked it. A lot. I was hooked on Pink Floyd - so much so that I wore out my first copy and had to buy a second, which doesn't look too rosy right now, I must confess. Well, a decade on, and it finally came out on DVD (no need for third copy on tape, then). Naturally, I bought it, but the lack of band involvement concerned me somewhat. I suppose hearing murmurs of discontent and/or ...

Review of Pink Floyd - Live In Pompeii (DVD)

A surreal journey based on truth!

Advantages: An absolute classic
Disadvantages: none

...extraordinary film loosely based on the story of Pink Floyd's first frontman, singer Syd Barrett. To say this film is surreal is an understatement , however it is gripping from the first scene until the end credits roll. THE WALL stars Bob Geldof as "Pink", a rock star losing the battle to stay in touch with reality. Through the haze of insanity he remembers his tortured childhood, and the memories drive him further into oblivion. Although the ...
...wasn't long before he went insane. Extra features include a documentary entitled "The Other Side Of The Wall", commentaries by Roger Waters and by Gerald Scarfe, a retrospective, and much more. If you are interested in music in any way, you HAVE to have this in your collection. ...
