Is Pink Floyd best listened to while alone in your room, stoned off your face?

"I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like", after that era of Pink Floyd you might as well be asleep

This band pretty much took over and cleaned up. Not sure if you've all heard of them.

The main difference is you have to be on drugs to enjoy them.

Nope, but remember going to see Chemical Alice back then who this band stole the keyboard player (Mark Kelly) from

Speak To Me

The bit with helicopter sample. Listening to that in bed, off my face, I remember feeling like I had been thrown off the edge of a cliff.

What people don't tell you about drugs is the emotions you go through when you are on them, can change your physiology. You were on drugs when you felt that way so it was synthesized emotion, but your mind and body still felt that way-it experienced a real emotion, and you have been changed accordingly, permanently. Not saying changed for the worse, but changed.

I heard Comfortaby Numb through an "expensive system" today and it was awe inspiring, the orchestration of the brass is amazing. Never appreciated that before.

The defining moment of Live 8 was the appearance of the classic Floyd lineup. Despite looking like my dentist, they blew the likes of the Scissor Sisters, Coldplay and Pete Doherty out of the water. They did this by:-

1. Sometimes playing in a time signature other than 4/4.

2. Sometimes playing quietly, at other times playing more loudly.

3. Having David Gilmour on guitar.


That is all.

Brass ??
Are you sure it wasn't "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" that you were listening to ?

Try The Orb

I saw The Orb Unplugged years ago. You could have heard a pin drop.

Brass in bucketloads on the arrangement of Comfortably Numb, I never really picked up on that before but on a quality system it sticks out a mile, my first thoughts were "they would never have been able to orchestrate that" wikipedia suggests it was Michael Kamen with either the New York Philharmonic or the New York Symphony.
