I enjoyed Endless River but have only listened to it twice. I know I'm in the minority of PF fans but I also love the Final Cut. Gunner's Dream is one of my favorite songs of all time. JD

JD, Love the Final Cut! I find there are two PFs. Sort of the Waters PF and the Gilmor/Wright PF. Waters got wordy and introspective in TW and FC and post Waters I feel that PF got their original sound back. I was amazed to hear how important Wright was to the PF sound. He was not on FC. I had dismissed PF once Waters left and I am only recently rediscovering them having collected MLOR, DSOT, PULSE, DB and ER. IMO there is no bad PF!

Give ER about 5 to 10 more listens and then tell me what you think. It took a while to sink in with me. As did FC and DB.

I liked FC a lot. I wont get ER as they are 12min sides. Could have just made a single album. I have MLOR on cassette and the beginning with the row boat is cool. Got the live double.
I really missed Waters on the albums, his presence was allways felt as the `boss` like an invisible force allways there and in control and calling the shots. If you listen carefully he is very good at putting in some `floydy` touches on bass.
Floyd became a vehicle for Gilmours guitar and I reckon thats where the rift started, he wanted to overule Waters.....but then Waters was getting too much up his own arse with the lyrics so I guess there was the inevitable tempramental artiste syndrome waiting to happen.
Waters made some v/g albums on his own.
Gilmours albums try to use floydy lyrics, he`s not floyd.
Masons album is garbage.
Rick Wrights album is enjoyable.
I love A Nice Pair, Saucerful, Piper. Ummagummas cool if youre in a receptive mood :) and the live half of the double is good.
I`ve got the Barrett albums, the one with the backing musicians is really something. +++

ps Masons book `Inside Out` is a great read. Written before Wrights death and yes Archie he enters the floyd tracks almost invisibly.

I was disappointed in how short ER is but I find that the sides tend to hang together thematically. My gripe is having to flip so soon. If I didn't have everything else on vinyl I'd go with a cd for ER. ER came mostly out of DB and I kind of listen to them together. PF is something that should never have been split into pieces. I'd prefer to listen to the coherent whole but that choice was beyond my control.

I guess it's inevitable that things don't last when so many hyper creative forces collide!

One day maybe I'll enjoy Floyd again. Floyd was played way too much in the late 'seventies and early 'eighties period when I was exploring jazz and really bored with pop and rock, and Roger Waters' angry and down concepts and words were really the straw that broke the back at that time. I just never have wanted to revisit the material, when I hear one of the albums played I shy away. I'm a fan of Gilmour's playing but that alone is not enough for me. We're all different. I went from progressive rock into African American music and I have stayed there more often (jazz, blues, r&B etc.) I'll take an Ohio Players album over any Floyd, that was the kind of music I wished I could hear played at parties but alas it was more often Floyd.

Right now. . . not my favorite Karrin Allyson session but a nice listen.

I dont play them much now Lon. Back in those days every Floyd album was cutting edge with the latest gear and the gigs were like going to the theatre. They spared no expense.
I`m listening to Deads `72 Oregon set (side one) and it`s awsome in it`s quality. K. Crimson have launched some huge box sets of live material, each one containing just one albums tours. I cant believe Floyd dont have similar tapes gathering dust. Give the fans what they want...warts and all.

Yes, I know, the lps sounded good, and I saw the Animals tour, an event. Still not my cup of tea though really, and the film of The Wall sealed the tomb for me, just awful images and misogynistic ideas. I never approached them with relish after that.

I have the King Crimson box sets and have been puttering my way through them. Another band that I'm not crazy about after a certain point but those are amazing documents of tours and albums!

I found Bob Dylan's, Andy Bey's, Lucinda Williams' and Mondy Michiru's latest to be exciting. The T-Bone Burnett project "Lost on the River" and his production of Rhiannon Giddens' new one are exciting. Like Chrissie Hynde's "Stockholm" and Steven Wilson's "Hand.Cannot.Erase" as well as Opeth's last one. And I'm really looking forward to Cassandra Wilson and Eliane Elias new releases in the next weeks.

And I'll confess to liking Charli XCX "Sucker."

Syd, I love the live Dead especially when Garcia would get into his trippy jammin' mode. I haven't listened to the Dead in a while...have lots of the live stuff on CD...several on vinyl.

But right now I'm in an Art Pepper marathon. Soon I'll be pulling the trigger on 6 45 RPM reissues. Funny, because today started trying to pick some vinyl from elusive disc...these are not. Can't even remember how I stumbled on this seller.

This one now...

I cant find Sphere listed on discogs Mark.
Played 2 sides of Floyds double live DSOT and it all souded a bit lumbering though the sound was impressive with the big panning drums.
JD`s search for a new Animals had me looking as well as I`ve heard it on a system many years ago ( a Quad 33/303 ) where Gilmours guitar took on a sinister, powerful growl on dogs, and with new power tubes in place I wanted to see what it now sounded like.
There are 2 new on e-bay. Coloured vinyl, Sony, made in the Philipines. Discogs say they are unnoficial. mmm

Syd, I see Lon gave you the discogs link. This LP has a bit of a back story. Charlie Rouse, Thelonious Monk's Sax player for over a decade, and Ben Riley, once a drummer for Monk, were joined by Buster Williams and Kenny Baron in the studio on the day Thelonious Monk died, February 17, 1982. This album came from that session...all the tunes are Monk compositions. This group would play and record together until 1988 when Charlie Rouse died. They reformed with Gary Bartz in the Sax spot in 1998. I also have their other Electra Musician release from 1983..."Flight Path". There's not enough of Charlie Rouse out there...aside from his work with Monk. Mark.

Lon, I've been thinking about picking up a reissue LP of that Donald Byrd Blue Note. I haven't heard it in over a decade and can't find my CD but I'll listen via spotify before pulling the trigger. I have to see how his playing a pocket trumpet on this album grabs me.

I'm in the Cave for a couple hours. A batch of ebay LPs arrived today. This 1981 Japanese reissue of a 1956 recording is first. Nice and mellow...can Getz be anything but mellow? Mark.

This one is why I made a purchase from the ebay seller. It's a session recorded in 1957 and released by Blue Note in 1981 after Art's comeback and Autobiography. The music is wonderful but the recording of the drums is not good. I think I've got this on CD but I don't remember the drums being a problem. If you're not a Pepper fanatic, pass on this one. Mark.

Next will be this British Manufactured Columbia/Clef release from 1957...the US version was on Verve...not sure how this happens. Syd, what's the deal with the paper thin LP jackets from the UK? The Carmen Mcrae LP is the same. I'll add a bit after a listen. Mark.

PS...the music's nice but there's more surface noise than I like. But this vinyl is older than me...so for $8.50, I don't think I could expect better.
