    Roger Barrett is dead. What rock have you been hiding under trollhat?
    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    As always I will try to go into this one with an open mind. We'll see.......could be interesting. I loved the Division Bell, so this could be cool.

    Oh, and she had a book of short stories published by a real publisher a couple of years ago. They sounded pretty interesting too - anyone read them.

    And she's hot, which is only fitting for the ultimate guitar god's lady.

    No Roger..was that a problem in 1994? No Wright now, and this is a real disaster.

    I don't care whether they call it Pink Floyd or David Gilmour, or David, Rick and Nick, or Rick with some help from his friends. I heard they had a lot of music from Division Bell left over, Wright had some more from Broken China and Gilmour has been writing a lot lately. Add to that there was plenty unreleased from the Barn Jams. Hopefully they have plenty of quality to choose from and if one is wishing, a fitting tribute song to Richard Wright. Don't care what they call it, I'm looking for a vibe. AUTO BUY, and I don't really do that anymore.

    Funny the differences between this band name and Yes. Here is a band releasing an album that may contain only 2 classic era members, and possibly rehashing material that didn't make it onto previous Floyd albums. If this was Yes we were talking about, they would be roasted and lambasted (Money Grab! Bring Back Former Member ____! Retire Gracefully!, etc) in 27 pages here by now.

    Hmm...could be interesting. Pretty wary though. A tour on the other hand...

    Nice try, but I think the fact that the Yes thread is some 90 pages and hasn't been officially released yet shows that all that many PEers care about is their 70s heroes releasing something...anything...in any form, no matter what. This above all else.

    Oh I didn't say we didn't care. Just different sets of standards and passion.

    And I will be buying the new Yes and the new PF.

    well, to be sure, Pink Floyd *always* had some radio Rock sensibilities... even in the Syd years, so an album of music recorded by 3 of the 4 classic era members, even if more mainstream, isnt an issue whereas Yes have turned out nothing But Pop Rock since Drama and fans keep hoping in vain that they will return to form. Pink Floyd never really departed from their 'Spacey Rock with mainstream sensibilities' form.

    well... except perhaps The Final Crap which abandoned their Spacey-ness cause the megalomaniac fired Rick

    From what I remember, Division Bell had enough material to be a double album. That after DB itself was 70+ minutes. The unreleased stuff is supposedly instrumental. That works for me. Yes has chased many different sounds and personnel since the glory days. Kind of confusing / frustrating the loyal from the classic days. Floyd, not so much. Two studio albums since Waters left 30+ years ago. Both fan bases would love to hear some classic / or inspired music from these groups. Yes has had some misses among the hits lately, maybe drawing a little ire. But the last album generated plenty of noise here, but early returns have not been too positive. I haven't heard it yet but some have said it sounds unpolished and incomplete. Why at this stage they would do that us beyond me.

    PF gets it turn in a couple of months. Fingers crossed.

    ...in which case the thing for you to do is... Lead by example.

    I'll certainly approach this release with an open mind. The title makes me suspect it could be reminiscent of On An Island, which can only be a good thing.

    Same here - wouldn't mind at all some instrumental stuff.

    Well, since Durga McBroom has mentioned singing on it, I believe at least some of the material will have been adapted into songs. After all that's what happened with the rest of the same material that got turned into songs too, having started life as instrumentals too.

    This is a real out of the blue bonus..........is it not?

    As for the Pink Floyd vs King Crimson comment. I don't understand that one.Surly both are to be welcomed.
